PANTHER STADIUM
MAY GET A. A. u.
Pittsburgh Only Bidder for the
Track Tilt, but Committee
Delays Site Selection
WAITS FOR BELGIAN DATES

New York, Nov. 20.-After lot OF
excitement as to which city might be
awarded the A. A. u. national track
and field championship for 1920. it was
learned Mt the headquarters of the asso-
citation yesterday that there was only
one application on file for the fixture
and that was Pittsburgh. Pa. At the
Boston convention John 7. Taylor, the
Pittsburgh delegate, made a strong plea
for the event. and there being no other
bidders, he demanded that the appli-
cation be decided upon then and there,
but somehow the matter was deferred.
OF course, as there happened to be no
other city in the field, Pittsburgh will
get the meet eventually.
The reason for not selecting a site as
yet for the big title meet was made
clear yesterday by Fred w. Rubin,
secretary of the A. A. U. He said that
on account of the Belgian Olympics
the holding of the National A. A. q.
meet would be a very important one
next year, and it was thought to be
the better plan to wait. Very little
detail has arrived in this country from
Belgium about the exact date of the
Olympic games, and not until the off
cial data arrives will the awarding of
the track and field championship be dis

have 1t that the Olympics will be held
from August 10 to September l, but the
A. A. U. has not been officially notified
to that effect. According to some pri-
vate advices from Antwerp the stadium
is already built and ready for use, and
1t is understood that the Belgian Olym-
pic committee will begin to send out
literature on the program around
Christmas. &,
A point upon which the A. A. u.
officials agree about Pittsburgh is that
the Smokey City is equipped with the
necessary accommodations for big
meet. There is Forbes Field belonging
to the baseball club, with four lap
track as well as other fittings which
come up to the modern standard As
far as the seating capacity is concerned
there could be no better location, as
there is ample accommodation for 40,

Year after year footballs blue ribbon
event on the scholastic gridiron has
been the Central High Northeast High
contest. The same condition rules this
season. At least 10000 spectators are
expected to crowd around the chalked-
off battlefield and in the two dilapi-
dated stands on Houston Field tomor-
row afternoon when the Crimson and
Gold lines up against the Red and
Black.
This big battle will be one of three
lnterscholastic League games to be
staged on the final big Friday schedule
of the season, before the curtain fiops
on the championship campaign. Two
titular tilts, finals in the lnteraca-
demic League, also are on the pro-
gram.
The elevens Of South PhiIadelphis
High and West Philadelphia High will
meet on a neutral field, at the 2. r. r.
Y. M. G. A. grounds. Forty fourth
street and Parkside avenue; 49,
In the Interacs, Penn Charter will
play on its home gridiron at Queen lane
with Friends Central as the opposition.
Episcopal Academy VS.. Germantown
Academy will be the other match, and
II will be decided at Tabor.
Central Highs crack eleven and Penn
Charters machine like aggregation are
favorites to win the respective cham
pionships in the Interscholastic and In
teracademic Leagues. The Mirrors may
expect a tough tussle from their an
| cirnt rivals, the Archives. while the
little Quakers probably will have an
| easy proposition against Friends Cen
trail. However, in this year Of upsets
and surprises one never can tell.
! A gruelling mix Is expected when
South Philly and West Philly clash.
Both elevens have been playing a hard
game this season. The downtown Red
and Black are more than anxious for
victory, in which event Coach Dear
Johnson's team will finish the season il
tie for second place with Northeast
providing the latter loses to Centra
High.
The feature of the mix between
! Frankford and Germantown this after
noon on Community Field is that thu
victor will end the season one posi-
tion out of the cellar. In other word
this will be a battle for last place II
the Interscholastic League.
Half a dozen other matches ar,
scheduled tomorrow. Coach Reynolds
West Philadelphia Catholic High team
will go to Media for a mix with tn,
local High School eleven. A big battl
is on for Swartmore where the higl
school of that place meets Ridley Parl
High.
Other games are Woodbury. High vs.
Salem High; Collingswood High VS.
Haddonfeld High West Chester Higl
VS.. Farm School and Haddon Height
High VS.. Darby High.
