A. A. U. TO REFUSE
8 WORLDS RECORDS
Committee Rejects Marks Made
by Miss Galligan, REM,
Kelly and Caldwell.
FIGHT TO RETAIN WOMEN

When the delegates OF the Amateur
Athletic Union meet In the waldorf-As-
toria Hotel to-day at their annual con-
vention they will be requested to refuse
six worlds records and to reinstate
seven athletes. who were placed under
the ban during the past year.
At meetings Of the record and national
registration committees yesterday In the
Hotel Aston II was decided that six Of
the forty-four records applied for were
not made under proper auspices and
that the seven athletes had been dis
qualified for trivial causes.
Miss Claire GalllRan OF New Rochelle,
the champion middle distance woman
swimmer, undoubtedly will be deprived
OF three marks. She swan $40 yards,
$50 yards and 1920 yards In open water
at Rye Beach In unprecedented time for
a woman. but as only two timers clicked
her the record committee will ask the
delegates not to accept her figures as
records.
The other marks turned down by the
committee were the Is mile walk hung
up by Edward REM OF the Mohawk A.
c; Fred w. Kelly's ego yard low hurdle
mark, and Dave Caldwells 600 yard in
door record. In reference to the REM
record the members of the committee
said tina; they were not satisfied with the
way checkers performed their duties and
doubted the correctness Of the scorers.
kelly's and Caldwells marks were re-
jected on the ground that they were
made on tracks which did not have the
regulation IL inch borders, which the
A.. A. L.. rules demand.
A dozen athletes asked 10 ne REIN
stated. but the registration committee
rejected five and will recommend that
the following lads be placed In good
standing:
Howard Williams. Auburn. y. Y, mid

most of the Harvard regulars returned
from New York to-day. Practically all
the regulars except Murray and Sweetser
saw Yale play the Tigers. and these men,
who went through the Brown game.
came out of 1t in good condition.
The varsity has done little since the
Princeton game except to perfect Its
running attack, but will spend the next
three days bolstering up Its defensive
game.
Yale has been followed very closely
this fall. and as so many Of the players
saw the team In action al Princeton, 1t Is
expected to be an easy matter to show
the players the sort of defensive game
IL Is up to them to play.
Harvard will send its backs and ends
