COLLEGE GAMES
Big Track and Field Meet May Be
Held in Philadelphia
in May.

NEW YORK, March 2.-The restora-
ton Of the intercollegiate track and
field championship games is expected
to be favorably voted upon at the an
nual meeting of the Intercollegiate
Athletic Association here today. The
date and place for the meet will be as
signed and it appears that the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania will be awarded
the games, to be held at Franklin
Field in May.
1t has been customary to hold the
contests on the final Friday and Satur-
day of May. but it is likely that the
meet will be reduced to a one-day COM
petition and an earlier date selected
because many colleges will close earlier
than usual. The suggested holding of
freshman track championships will not
be adopted, being contrary to the
constitution of the organization. The
application of the University of Pitts
-burgh for membership is expected to be
siderable doubt regarding the suggest
ed elimination of the hammer throwing
event and the substitution of javelin
and discus competitions.
The annual championship games we're
abandoned last year as the result of
the entry of the United States into the
European war. This marked the first
break in the yearly meet since the in
itial contests in 1876. A preliminary
canvass of the colleges holding mem
bership in the association appears to
indicate majority sentiment in favor
of restoring the championships this
spring.

ANNUAL GOLF TOURNEY
MAIN QUESTION TONIGHT
Middle Atlantic Association to
Thrash Out Wartime Prob
lens at Willard.

Delegates from the twelve golf clubs
of the middle Atlantic section Of the
country will meet tonight at the New
Willard Hotel to thrash out problems
confronting the association in war time.
The principal question to be decided
is that of the annual championship.
Members of the Maryland Country Club
of Baltimore, led by Tom Sasscer and
r. Lee Slingluff. president of the Mid
die Atlantic Golf Association, are re-
ported to be ready to make strong
bid for the championship to be held
over their course this year. Sentiment
in favor of the resumption of the an
nual event appears to be growing in
the District, at least. An official of
the association said today that the at
titude taken by the United States Golf
at it's annual meeting in
January probably will be considered
at tonight's meeting. At the L. S. G. A.
meeting a strong plea for the resump-
ton of the national amateur champion
ship was made by H. McQueeney of
Atlantic City and, although it was
voted down, it made an impression on
many of the delegates. 1t was pointed
out today that the U. S. G. A at it's
did not suggest. as it did at
last years meeting, that no sectional
championships be held.
Monday night at the Commercial Club
the annual meeting of the District of
Columbia Golf Association will be held
President George E. Truett of the
Golf and Country Club will
preside.
