ATHLETIC NEWS AND NOTES.

I1dIOlu hOetZ Oh 1cOTSc w dSIllHStoH Cu-
versity last week was quite a success and
brought out several good men who prob
ably would not have come out for the
track team. AS it is, their performances
in this meet have given the athletic au-
thorities good line on them, and when
the call for candidates for the team is
issued these men will be made to come
out. Although in some Of the events the
time was not SO good, in others enough
was shown to warrant the prediction that
the Hatchetites have unearthed several
likely looking candidates. Both Manager
keetz and Capt. Johnnie Fleming are
determined to scare up a good, fast track
team, and this meet was the first step In
this direction. 1t has not been announced
who will coach the Hatchetites this sea-
son, although 1t is understood that COM
petent man will be secured.
At the recent meeting of the national
body Of the Amateur Athletic Union sew
eral rulings which will affect the athletes
of this association, either directly or IN
directly, were passed. In brief. they are
as follows:

meet the travelling expenses of an athlete

to and from the meet. No expenses or
payment of any kind will be allowed for
trainers, rubbers. friends or relatives, nor
will he be allowed to ask for or receive
payment for loss of time OF wages. He
is required to give receipt in dupli-
cate for all money received for this pur-
pose, one copy Of the receipt to be flied
with the registration committee of the as
ISOLATION in which the meeting is held,
and the other copy is to be filed with the
registration committee Of his own dis
trict.
In the future athletes will not be al
lowed to start race unless their name
Is on the program, unless the names
were inadvertently left off; nor shall
their handicap be changed unless err
roneously printed on the program, or
unless the change ia authorized in writ
ing by the official Handicapped. The
Handicapped shall not be compelled to
handicap an entry unless the blank is
Hereafter an athlete shall not be al
lowed to wear the emblem Of any club
or organization which he Is not eligible
to represent in open A. A. u meets, and
he will be required to wear trunks or
breeches reaching to within two inches
of the knee, and the clothing must be
clean. He will not be allowed to dress
OF unuress within the inner circle.
In hurdle races, a competitor knocking
down three or more hurdles or any por-
ton Of three or more hurdles in a race
shall be disqualified. He will also be dis
qualified for trailing his leg or foot along

Judging from that race run by Badly"
Brame in the George Washington class
games. when he gained about ten yards
on his man in the ''interfrat' race and
won for his team. he can come back"

team. Should he decide to come out

his fate that he will have to get
out and hustle for another man for his
relay team. Just when he settled down
for the season, thinking that his troubles
were at an end and that his quartet was
complete. Kunnowski. one Of his best
men, was called out Of town to accept
good job. Kunnowski, who Is q former
member of the Potomac Athletic Club, has
been running some exceptionally good
races of late and was considered one of
the best men the Tremonts had and his
loss will be severe one. His many

Bill Foley has been engaged again this
year to coach the track men Of the Blue
and Gray. 1t was generally thought that
he would be signed up again this year. in
view of his last seasons success. so this
news will not come as much of a surprise.
He will not call his men out until after
the Cristmas holidays.
It looks very much as If Baltimore
would not land the national champion
ships for 1911. after all. P.ttsburg is so
anxious to get this set of games that it
has offered to have a new track built ac-
cording to A. A. y. plans, if the meet will
be given to 1t. It viii be hard luck If
this association will lose both the preSi-
dency and the championships as but a
couple of weeks ago everything pointed
toward success in both of these respects.
