STANFORD ATHLETES
CLASH WITH A, A. j


Chicago, June 2.-The Leland stan
ford university team may not be al
lowed to compete in the western in
t~ercolleGiatc track and field champion
ships here next Saturday. 1t was am
nounced today that the California
athletes had been suspended by the
Amateur Athletic union for taking
part in the fielo meet at the Colorade
university. The Colorado athletes
have Withdrawn.
This will cause an interesting com-
~plication to arise between the confer
encc colleges and the \. q. I. The
A. A. L. really has nothing to do with
the running OF the Intercollegiate
meet but it could suspend all the attn
lctes who take part in Saturdays meet
and that would prevent them from
competing in any open meets.
No definite decision will be made by
the conference authorities as it Is
hoped the Stanford team may be re-
instated when all the facts are known
by the A. a. l.. officials.
