TED MEREDITH IS
UNDER A. A. U. BAN
Runs For Too Many Clubs, AS
serts UniOn-Penn AuthOri-
ties Protest

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Jan. S.-The
track and field authorities at the Uni
yersity OF Pennsylvania are due for a
rude awakening when they attempt TO
include Ted" Meredith upon one of
the Penn relay teams at the Boston
Athletic association games In Feb
ruary, according 10 no less authority
than Alfred j. Lii, the president or
the Amateur Athletic union. Mere
dith will not be permitted to wear the
big 'P" either in the b. A. A. o, any
open Amateur Athletic union affair,
although II will be perfectly possible
for Meredith to wear the Pennsyl-
vania insignia in the intercollegiate
championships or any of the Penn
dual meets.
Meredith's offense, IL such II may
be termed, consists of having repre-
sented the Meadowbrook club, OF
Philadelphia. rather than the Uniyer
sity OF Pennsylvania in his indoor
starts this winter in Boston, New
York and Buffalo.
Athletic authorities at the univer-
sity protested the ruling and are plan
