NEW YORK. Dec. 2T.-The amateur
standing OF Ted Meredith, the inter

signature, was written by him. and
Ia speaking OF this yesterday Fred
erick Ruben, secretary'treasurer OF

associates passed judgment upon
Meredith's status last year. They de
cided that his amateur standing had
not been impaired, and that he had
not capitalized his athletic fame, par
ticularly so because IL had been de.
finitely established that he was the
author OF the articles which bore his
