Charlie De Stephano was an easy
victor in the run of the st. Vincent
Ferrer A. @. through Central Park,
New York, last night. He romped all
the way, being in the lead before the
half distance mark was reached. and
finished the four and a quarter miles
well within himself in 20 minutes 8
seconds. ]. Brunson, of the Fallen
Crescent A. c., was second, after
brisk contest at the finish with his
clubmate, T., Harris, who was third.
Sentiment among college men In the
East appears to be about equally
divided regarding the action of the
Oxford University Athletic commit
tee in limiting the athletic eligibility
of Rhodes scholars in the famous
English university sport competi-
tons. 1t was the opinion of close
followers of American collegiate ath-
severely handicap American, Cana
dian and Australian Rhodes scholars
attending Oxford. Since they cannot
compete in the freshman sports and
must be under twenty four years of
age to participate in the Oxford Uni
versity Athletic Club competition
their field of activity is considerably
curtailed.
Howard Drew, the great negro
sprinter of the Springfield (Mass.)
High School, yesterday informed the
registration committee of the A. A.
u. that he was coming to New York
to compete at the games of the Do
cesar Union at the Thirteenth Regi-
ment. Brooklyn, Saturday night. He
stated that he would compete in the
130-yard special and return home on
Sunday. The A. A. U. rules require
that all out of town athletes register
with the registration committee SO
that they may know he amount of
expenses he may accept.
The five-mile handicap road race
of the Pastime Athletic Club, which
is scheduled for next Sunday over the
Brazilian cross course in the Bronx,
starting from the clubhouse at Je-
rome avenue and 1920 street, has
attracted a number of the best dis
lance men in this territory. Handi-
capper DISTINGUISHING has an
nounced that he will receive entries
up to Saturday morning of this week,
and in accordance with his custom
of giving away long marks to the
novices anticipates the receipt of a
number of nominations of nor win
ners. A bronze statue will be award
ed to first man at the finish, a SINH
lar prize to second and q silver cup
to third. A handsome plaque will be
the team prize in addition to solid
gold stick pins to each of the winning
team. There will also be fast time
and novice prizes.
The second annual athletic games
of the Bronx Church House and the
Second Battery will be held December
| 6 at the Battery armory, 166th street
| and Franklin avenue, New York. The

| for novices, 75-yard handicap, 1920
yard handicap, five-mile handicap,
one-mile handicap walk, mile
handicap relay for small clubs, run
ming high jump and putting the 12-
pound shot. Spiked shoes may be
cred one of the best in the Metropoli-
tan district. An effort is being made
to secure Howard Drew to run in the
dashes.
Brooklyn will have the honor of
holding the indoor national track and
| field championships for the first time
at the Thirteenth Regiment Armory.
| Sumner and Jefferson avenues on
| January g. The games last year were
held In the Twenty-second Regiment,
| but previously the Amateur Athletic
Union occupied two nights in Madison
| Square Garden. Holding the games
so soon after the first of the year
makes it possible for many of the,col-
lege athletes to enter. The 220-yard
championship will for the first time
be contested over a straightaway
| track.
The athletic committee of the Pat
erson Elks' Club has decided to con-
| duct another set of indoor track
