Montreal Swimmers to
Clash With N. Y. 4. C.,

Walter Ramms and Herbert vollmer
for the century swim and Joseph
Wheatley and James Reilly or Nicholas
Nerich for the furlong contest. On
past performances slight advantage
might he conceded 10 the local boys,
but neither Hodgson nor McGill ha.
competed in this country since early in
1918, so there is no telling how much
they have improved.
The list OF events tentatively ADOPT
ed includes 30, 100 and 220 yard swim.,
200-yard relay race for teams of four
men. each 20 cover fifty yards; fancy
diving and q game Of water polo, un-
der the rules of the Amateur Athletic
Union.
II is not likely that the visitors will
have candidates good enough 70 win
the relay and diving events from the
Mercury Foot stars, but speculation is
rife as 20 the outcome of the water
polo match, as the Canadians have
rever played an American team, at
least not since the obtaining style OF
game was introduced here. Nothing il
thus known Of their ability.

Coming Bout with John.

The increasing probability that Jack

title against the attacks OF Jess VIII
lard brings the Kansas cowboy into the
sport limelight TO degree not hereto
fore reached by the Westerner. Will
lard's ring record Is not particularly
impressive, but considered in the light
Of the showing OF the average so-called
white hone" Willard must be accorded
4 possible chance against the negro
heavyweight. Physically he is the best
opponent that could be selected 20 go
against Johnson, but considered from
the standpoint of experience and men
tai characteristics Willard does not APP
pear formidable. An expert sizes up
Willard as follows:
"In his ring career 70 date he has
never shown the fighting spirit which
made pugilists of the type OF Sullivan
and Fitzsimmons so feared By oppo-
nents. II the pair meet Willard Will
tower several inches over Johnson. as
we'll as ou.weighing the negro and hav"
ing q decided advantage IN the matter
of reach. Speaking broadly, he can
probably strike a harder blow than
Johnson. but these assets are Offset By
the speed. accuracy and ring cunning
that the title holder possesses.
Three ten-round boxing bouts will
be held at the Olympic A. c. tonight.
In the opening bout Battling" Nal
yertv will face Buddy" Ryan, while in
another Young" Mccoy and Young
Britton will cross gloves. The third
contest will be between evenly matched
featherweights yet to be selected.

HUDSON UNITED

In a fast and interesting game at
Macomb's Dam Park yesterday after
noon the Hudson United F. c. defeat
ed the Greenpoint eleven by ! goal TO 0
in a championship fixture of the second
division of the New York State League.
The Hudsons have been going strong
lately, and are looked upon IS probable
contenders for premier honors.
The lone tally of the battle was
scored by Mcneil at left back in the
middle Of the first half. The ball was
put into play following corner kick,
and Mcneil, who, was playing in"
called for pass. The ball was shot
over TO him, and he sent it whizzing
into the Greenpoint net with the speed
Of a bullet from the 25-yard line.
The Greenpoint players had an OPP
portunity to equalize the score in the
second period, but lost 1t. Hutching-
son was intrusted with penalty"
kick. His shot was high, and went
over the crossbar.

Many Other Changes Also
Approved at Meeting of
Committees of |. G.
A. A. A. A.

Constitutional amendments that Will
exert a wide influence on all future
intercollegiate athletic meets In this
country were recommended By the ex-
ecutive and advisory committees Of the
Intercollegiate Association Of Amateur
Athletes Of America in a meeting held
at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel yesterday
afternoon.
These recommendations will be voted
upon at the annual meeting Of the as
sociation on February 6. and there Is
small doubt but that they will be rati-
fed and put into force at once.
The constitutional amendments, II
put through, will help 10 standardize
athletics prior to the next Olympic
games, and will conform with the rules
Of the international Athletic Fedora
tion.
The executive committee, composed
OF Z. J. Stackpole, jr., Of Yale; James
Greenough, Of Harvard; T. VI. Gal
braith. of Princeton. and c. ". Town
send, Of the University Of Pennsyl-
vanis, and the advisory committee,
comprising Gustavus 7. Kirby, OF
Columbia; Romeyn Berry, of Cornell,
and Thornton Gerrish, Of Harvard,
were those who sat in session yester-
day.
The committees first took up the dis
cussion Of the number Of trial, to be
permitted In the two weight events and
tho broad jump, and it was recon-
mended that each competitor be al
lowed six trials, In groups Of two.
Thus. a man may make trial jump,
put or throw and then have the priv
ilege Of taking another trial at once. or
he may await his regular turn in the
event.
In the pole vault and the high jump
Il was recommended that the number
Of tries be restricted 10 three, ss at
present, but that the competitors be
allowed 20 take their second and third
trials at once, II they wish, instead OF
awaiting their regular turn. This will
be welcomed by the athletes, who get
cold" while waiting fifteen or twenty
minutes for their next try at the
height under present rules.
The committees next recommended
that the track be measured twelve
inches from the pole, instead OF eigh-
teen inches, as at present. and that the
referee be empowered 70 order trial
heat re-run IL foul is committed.

Dual Meet viii Be Held
in the Mercury Foot
Pool on Friday
Night.

At a meeting Of the New York Ath-
letic Club Board OF Governor. held yes
terday IL was decided to accept the
challenge Of the Montreal Amateur
Athletic Association swimming team
for q dual clash, and the Canadian
watermcn are now booked 70 face the
local stars In the Mercury Foot pool on
Friday next.
The meet promises 70 be one of the
most interesting Of the indoor season
because Of the presence on the Cana
dian squad Of two sterling swimmers -
George Hodgson snd Frank McGill.
Hodgson has not been defeated AZ
distances above 100 yards since he
scored such a brilliant double victory
AZ the Olympic games Of 1912 in Stock
holm, winning both the 400 and 1900
metre swimming races in worlds rec
ord time. McGill is the present 30 and
100 yard champion Of the Dominion,
and report has II that he Is sprinting
in great form.
kgainst this sterling pair the New
York Athletic Club Will probably start
