COLLEGE STARS
STIR UP STRIFE
ON THE TRACK
Members of Small Clubs
Protest Against Rule
on Juniors.
By A. c. CAyAGNARO.

Many disgruntled athletes returned
home from the junior championships
at New Brunswick, n. j., last Saturday.
These dissatisfied members represent
ed the small clubs Of the district. who
had been soundly trounced for the team
title They loudly protested against
the rule which permits the gathering
Of college talent, providing the athletes
reside within the loO-mile radius OF the
district.
While this rule is Legitimate one,
it is severe handicap on the support
ing organizations Of the Amateur Ath-
letic Union Of this association. Being
without the inducements 20 offer these
stars in the way Of an up-to-date club
house, they are naturally unable 20
strengthen their teams. They have 20
depend on their representatives VINO
carry their colors the year round.
A drastic step is threatened by the
coaches Of several OF the small clubs
should this rule be in effect AZ the time
Of the 1917 meeting. They declare that
they will be the prime movers IN CALI
ing a meeting 10 pass boycott against
the games Ic was the opinion OF these
leaders that as long as the rule was
In force 10 would always result IN
one-sided triumph for the club that sue
ceeded In obtaining most OF these coll
lege men.
When the ss0-yard race was con
tested a flight Of hurdles vas left
stretched across the track az the end
of the backstretch. Consequently they
were not seen by the runners until Il
was too late. Several had nasty falls,
compelling them 10 quit and seek medl-
cal attention. Willie Powe, Eddie
Haupt and Herman Browser were the
unfortunate victims. and had 20 limp
about for the remainder Of the day.
Willie Goldman. Jake Rubenstein,
Robert Voorhees, and Robert Nash, who
won their schoolboy race at the Perm
relays, have Joined the Brooklyn Ath-
letic Association. They are a fleet
quartet and sure 70 help their club
in scoring points. In his irst two
starts Goldman, a former schoolboy
champion, defeated Frank l.. stephen
son in a handicap race, and the next
day last Sunday won the sprint dash
from 4i2 yards at the Singer meet.
A galaxy OF stars is down for com
petition at the games of the Saler-

cludes Irving T. Howe, former indoor

ming hop, step and jump L. La Beet,
the new Junior metropolitan champion,
will find some stiff competition, with
A. Almolf, the Kangaroo Swede, de-
termined rival. The entry list IS close
TO 800.
James ". Roche, the New Haven A.
A. middle distance runner, Is prom
Using individual. His performance in
winning the 440-yard Junior title on
the wet track in 80 Is seconds was
brilliant exhibition. A wonderful run
ring form and good working brain
are the outstanding marks OF the New
England runner. Only freshman 90

to the Eli track team.
