WOULD CHANGE
ATHLETIC EVENTS
Fixed Hurdles, Breasting Tape and
Weights Cause Discussion

New York. Feb. 25.--There have
been number of recommendations
made to the intercollegiate Associa-
ton of Amateur Athletics of America
lately To revolutionize college track
athletics i'm several events. ono ques-
ton that has ELECTED considerable dis
CuSsiOG is the way a runner should
finish a race--that is, whether the man
who finished shall breast the tape or
not. Another point centerS about the
idea of having fixed hurdles. while
the third proposed change involves the
hammer throw event in intercollegiate
meets.
one man who is opposed to these
changes is Johnny Mack, track coach
of Yale. Mack declares that the use
of fixed hurdles is impractical, and
the hammer throw should stay the
same, but says the runner should be
made to breast the tape when he fin
ishes "a race. Speaking about the
changes which will come up shortly
for discussion before the intercolle-
giate authorities, Mack argues as fol-
| lows:
In regard to having fixed hurdles
/ certainly do not believe in them At
the intercollegiate meets at Pennsyl
vania or in the Harvard stadium the
I hurdle races and sprints are run on
the same stretch and this makes the
use of fixed hurdles practically an i'm
possibility. I'm England where tn,
| fixed hurdle is used the races are run
on the grass. The custom of using
the fixed hurdles originated there
where AT some rural meets the only
hurdle that could be obtained was TIN,

st. Petersburg. Dec. 13-Count White,
who has recently returned from a tour Of
several of the more important European
capitals, today told the 1nscript that
there is a grave prospect of a great Eu-
ropean war. Count White said the gen.
eraI situation in Europe impressed him
as ominous, and he was especially inn
pressed by the easy manner In which the
German government succeeded in having
the Increased military budget passed by
the Relchstag and the promptitude with
which the upper class in Germany re-
sponded to the financial appeal made to
them In connection with the military
plans.
He was surprised at the resistance
shown in France to the three-year COM
puisory military service bill and the lack
of enthusiasm over the new loan. which
really was the cause of its abandonment
and the fall Of the Barthou ministry.
'sThe situation In mind Is extremely
grave" said Count White. THE only
hope I have OF a general European war
being averted is my knowledge of the
character and intentions Of Kaiser Will
helm. He has declared that as long as
he lives he will not permit a general war
10 break out In Europe. II the situation
Is taken in hand early enough he may be
able TO prevent such war; IL hot, I
dread TO think what would follow. In any
event. now that Alexander III is no
more. Europe must look to the German
Emperor as the strongest supporter of
