FRESHMEN
SHOULD RUN IN MEETS
Intercollegiate A. A. A., Meeting
Today, Has Many Changes
to Offer for Annual Meeting.

NEW YORK. Jan. IA number of
important amendments to the constitu-
tion and bylaws of tho intercollegiate
Amateur Athletic Association OF
America which will have a direct bear
ing on the indoor and outdoor cham
pionship meets are being considered at
the executive committee conference at
the Waldorf-Astoria today.
Among the more radical propositions
which will be prepared for submission
to the association at the annual meet
tng on March G are the following: Pro-
posal to permit freshmen to compete
in championship meets; six preliminary
trials In several field events; measur-
ing track twelve inches from pole in
place Of eighteen inches: creation of
new officials for title games; granting
starter the right to recall runners for
governing position and duties Of certain
games officials.
These proposed amendments will have
an important bearing on the future OF
college track and field athletics in this
country. 1t Is probable that with the
adoption Of the freshman eligibility rule
for championship games the majority OF
the Eastern universities will permit the
entry Of first year classmen In all dual
meets. Under the new system Of track
measurement and starters recall the
l. c. A. A. A. A. will align itself with
the International Athletic Federation
thus helping to standardize athletics
previous to the next Olympic games.

Knockout Bremen, Buffalo
sIuuger, Makes His Initial
Appearance in Bout With
Young Herman Miller.
BY LOUIS A. BOUCHER.

Thirty-three rounds Of tough, Wig
orous, slambang boxing will be on
the cards next Tuesday night at the
new Ardmore club when Knockout
Bremen, Buffalo's candidate for mid
dleweight honors, hooks up in the
feature bout with Young Herman
Miller, Baltimore's pride. Every
battle on the card will show the
rushing type Of performer, depend
ing on the weight of his wallop, and
it is this kind of milling that Wash
ington fans enjoy. That there will
be representative throng around
the ring when the opening bout gets
under way Is evidenced by the size
of tho advance sale.
Knockout Bremen is to make his
initial appearance before the fans of
the Capital and, that he will try his
best to live up to his reputation,
goes without saying. He has been
hanging up q long string of short
distance knockouts, and he will en-
deavor to add Young Herman Miller
to his list. Forty knockouts in ninety
five ring affairs shows the power Of
his punch.
"Brennen ought to be popular with
Washington FANS" writes Allie Smith.

time, always digging in and ever ready
to swap walloys with his opponent. If
the battle goes the distance, It ought
to make ring history. Really. though

Bremen puts them away whenever he
happens to cop. He has been perform
ing in first class style ever since this
season got under way, and will arrive In

However, Young Herman Miller isn't
