by DANIEL.

The Harvard Stadium at Cambridge
will be the scene of the track and field
Championship meeting Of the Intercolle-
:iate Association offAmateur Athletes
of America, on Friday and Saturday,
May 80 and 81. This was decided at the
annual meeting OF the association, at the
Columbia University Club yestei day af-
ternoon.
Harvard made 1t known through L. B.
Leonard, its representative that it
wanted the games. and 1t got them with
out opposition. The Advisory Com
mittee. through Gustavus T. Kirby. told
the delegates that II wanted to see the
meet 60 to Cambridge, and so II went.
Pennsylvania also was in a receptive
mood, but since II had held the meet in
1917, while there had been no meet In
1913. It was Harvard's turn. In recent
years the meet has been moving between
Harvard and Penn, but next year Cor
nell may enter the competition for the
right to stage the games. Syracuse al
ways a contender when talk OF awarding
the meet came up in past years, made
no effort to get 1t this time.
The delegates unanimously passed all
the amendments some time ago drawn
up by the advisory committee Since
the changes have been discussed In these
columns at length 1t Is needless to 70
over them again, further than to say
that they make provision for athletes
who have been In the service and who
under the old rules would be ineligible
to take part in the championships.
Penn Man President.
Owing to the fact that It had been
taken for granted that the meet would
go to Harvard and that the amendments
NJ nj cd fhA att
meeting was the smallest in years, many
colleges declining to go to the expense
OF sending representative. The cleo
ton resulted in Pennsylvania getting
the presidency, which went to Roland
c. Fenner. William Swanson OF Pitts
burg and Paul W. Snodgrass of SYRIA
ouse were chosen vice-presidents, while
Louis Owens of Columbia was elected
secretary, and Eldred A. Halsey Of New
York University treasurer.
The executive committee, composed
entirely of undergraduates, was chosen as
Follows: Lawrence b. Leonard Har-
ward; Sherman Baldwin. Yale: William
pownes. Princeton Leon @. CLAW. Cor
nell Paul Anderson. Massachusetts,
Tech. and Max Norton. Dartmouth. The
advisory committee. composed OF grad
yates, was not changed. 1t is ma de up
OF Mr.. Kirby. Columbia Romeyn Berry,
Cornell. and Thornton Gerrish. Har-
ward.
The college representatives were as
follows: n. Y. T.. Z. A. Halsey: Pitts
eurg, w. Swanson; Princeton. w.
Downes: Swarthmore. p. T. Francis
Syracuse. =. W. Snodgrass; Yale, s.

fayette. George T. Woodring: Cornell,
Leon G. Clay: Fordham. r. ]. Kelly
Harvard. l.. b. Leonard; Johns Hop
kins, V. j. Wyckoff NJ l. T. Paul
Anderson.
The delegates discussed various mat
ters not relating TO the affairs of the
association. and quite a number OF track
meets were scheduled. Penn asked Co
lumbia TO run a relay race at an indoor
meet In Buffalo. and II is quite likely
that the locals will accept.
