general satisfaction.

rules lie In the fact that only two trial
at each height are allowed in the running
high jump and the pole vault The com
mittee was continued as follows: A. A
Stagg, Chicago; Dr. Marvel, Brown. and
DR.. Lambeth. Virginia

of all those interested in track and field
athletics Professor Bevier, OF Rutgers, Of
fered the following resolution, which was
adopted:
