tain their membership 1t was very rare,
indeed. that Georgetown had more than
enc first-class entry in the games while
the southerners were members of the
association. The, delegates felt 1t was
not fair to the other members of the
association to permit a college to drop
out when its athletic material was poor
and then to rejoin when it discovered a

the Wolverines were readmitted after

To some persons 1t looked as though
Michigan wanted to get into the eastern
association only until their differences
could be patched up with the "big eight"
They were therefore allowed to join on
condition that they would give assurance
or retaining their membership. This they
have done, and the association intends
to treat all other colleges the same way.

Changes. in Olympic Rules.
The~American Olympic committee is
very much pleased with at least two OF
the changes in the rules announced by
the Swedish committee for the 1912 olyn1-
piad. These are. first. that every precau-
ton will: be taken not to include in a
single heat more than one member Of
any mat lions unless. necessary, and then
never nthe @two' best men. of that team
In other words. the committee wished to
so arrange the heats that the best men
of all the teams would meet in the finals.
The second important change concerns
the marathon race. At Stockholm the
contestants will not be allowed to have
bicycle attendants. They must get all
their information and assistance from
the officials along the course.
The first of these rules removes all
possibility of some Of the friction which
existed at London in 1906 At these
games the British Olympic committee fol-
lowed the same custom. in drawing for
heats as at it's own track and field cham
pionships. The men in the different
heats were all drawn by lots. and no
change would be made even II the fastest
men met in the same heat, The British

GEORGETOWN won the point trophy in its
meet last Saturday night just as was de-
eiared by the officials. The claim on the
part of the University of Virginia to the
effect that the Blue and Gray should not
have had first honors because 1t was
accredited with eight points scored In the
invitation events that were not open to
clubs cannot be upheld. The point trophy
was not open to clubs, in the first place,
and had enough points been scored by
club to win the meet 1t would not have
secured the prize, for the simple reason
that it was not eligible for it The
trophy was open only to colleges and
schools; therefore, far as the scoring
Of points In events closed against the
clubs was concerned. any of the schools
or colleges had the entire right to all
they could secure.
1t was not generally known before the
meet that clubs were not eligible to win
the point trophy. but since attention has
been called to the fact it Is evident on
The condition on the entry blank regard
ing the point trophy was simply to the
effect that a prize trophy would be
awarded to the school or college scoring
the greatest number of points in the open
events-that is, the events open to both
schools and colleges.
A statement was given out this morning
by the Georgetown management to the
effect that the meet was never intended
as q club AFFAIR, and that as far as the
point trophy was concerned no club could
have figured In winning 1t. because 1t was
put up only for the schools and colleges
to compete for.
Although the date for the interscholas-
tic and intercollegiate meet to be held at
the Maryland Agricultural College is more
than two months away, the committee In
charge OF the arrangements is active In
It's work and Is beginning to build its
plans In q most effective way.
It was the intention of the Farmers to
make the event a much larger meet even
than last years successful one, and II the
way they are going to work counts for
anything they are sure to accomplish
their expressed desire.
The preliminaries for the National
Guards meet are to be run of this even
ing In the National 1uard Armory. The
soldiers bid fair to have the most success
full set OF games ever held under their
auspices, and. judging by the class of
some OF the entries received, the compe-
fition should be excellent. and some good
performances should be seen.

the winner that they did not seem to
grasp the justice of the American
method of drawing heats SO that the best
men would meet in the finals. AS it
turned out, unfortunately for the Ameri-
can team, NJ. w. Sheppard and J. P.
Halstead. the two fastest men this
country had in the 1,5OO-meter run, were
drawn in the same heat. So keen was
the competition between them that Shop
pard won out only in the last yard, and
then by scarcely a foot. To beat Hal
stead he had to make a record. and In
the final he beat Wilson, the Englishman.
with much more ease than he had beaten
Halstead. The contention of the Ameri-
cans was that II the heats had been ar
ranged to give Sheppard and Halstead an
equal chance, both of these men would
have gotten into the finals, with the prob
ability of their getting first and second.
arrange the heats according to the
American plan. but as far as possible
they will permit heats for second men.
The new rule regarding the marathon
avoiding the trouble which occurred in
1908 over the assistance which was rem
dered to Dorando. the Italian. Had the
latter not received the assistance he did
from his attendant there would have
been no trouble over this race. The
new rule prohibits the attendance of BIZ
cycle men, who in 1908 were allowed to
meet their men at the end of the first
five miles and go with them to the en-
trance of the stadium. The Swedish COM
mittee will arrange to have representa-
tives strung along the course to give In
formation to the competitors and to rem
der any assistance that is needed and
which can be given without violation OF
the rules.
Cornell's New Coach.
All college men, whether their insti-
tutions meet Cornell in foot ball or not,
will watch with much interest the expert
ment which the Ithacans are about to
make by the installation of DR.. Albert H.
Sharpe as head coach of the Cornell foot
ball team for the next three years. In
a way it is an admission that Cornell s
efforts to build up a graduate coaching
system are failure. Not since Cornell
has been a factor in intercollegiate ath-
letics can the Ithacans be said to have
had anything like championship team
They have turned out q great many

games unless his name is handed to the
secretary two weeks in advance of a
game, and he must take the place Of a
player released.
Another important rule adopted was
that players residing in the various towns
would be compelled to play with their
local club or not at all. unless released by
the manager of the club entitled to their
services. This rule will enable every
manager to secure a club from the town
he represents, but IL he elects not to include
the name of a local man in his. list OF
fifteen, the players left out can sign with
any club he selects. Each club will be
required to make deposit of $25 with the
leagues treasurer as guarantee that
the team will finish out the season, and
an assessment of 81 game, to be de-
Quoted from this deposit, levied for every

President Fuller is well known in anna
teur base ball in Washington, and. played
professionally under Mike Scanlon back
in 1888. Three years ago he managed the
District Commissioners club in the De-
partmental League. and his team finished
at the top of the heap.
He has been given the authority to APP
point three regular umpires and a. many
substitutes, and is now looking over the
field for suitable material The season
will probably open about the middle OF
March and close the latter part of July.

in Masonic Hall, this place, for the bene-
fit of the league. There are practically
100 base ball tossers interested in the
success Of the undertaking. besides the
managers and the friends of the various
clubs. It is proposed that every COM
munity shall take an active Interest In
the entertainment, and it's success seems
assured. Another meeting will be held

NEW POLICY
!. A. A. A. A. Denies Admission
to Gettysburg and Georgetown
By EDWARD R. BUSHNELL

In voting to hold the 1912 track and
field championships at Franklin Field
Of the University of. Pennsylvania, and
turning down the applications for men,
bership Of Georgetown and Gettysburg
College, the intercollegiate Association of
Amateur Athletes of America firmly
ton with the first it refused the request
Of Syracuse University that the games
be held in the New Workers. stadium vir-
tually serving notice that the games
would be awarded only to institutions
with properly equipped fields The re-
fusal to admit Gettysburg and George
town means that the association intends
to discourage the practice of smaller in
stitutions. putting on and off their mem
bership like one would suit.
With the exception that Harvard has a
slightly faster track the University of
Pennsylvania has the best equipped field
for holding track and field meets in this
country. It is superior. to the Harvard
field in that the gymnasium with its COM
modious training rooms opens right on
to the field. and that the stands permit
the observation Of all the events. Like
wise the field is wider than that at Har-
ward. thus permitting the spectators to
see the hammer throw. At Harvard the
hammer throw has to be contested on a
separate field back of the stand.
1t is the hope of the association that
within another year or two the new Yale
field will be nearly enough completed to
permit the ELS to hold this big meet The
plans submitted by the committee in
charge Of the new stadium calls for a
separate field and training house for the
track and field games, with stand capa-
BILE of seating 10000 persons. The
chances are that the Yale field will not
be ready before 1913 In all probability
the games will be held in the Harvard
stadium in 1918. and II the Yale stadium
is ready the Ellis can probably have them
in 1914.
For q number of years there has been
growing ups sentiment in the associa-
ton not to admit new members unless
