New York, Jan. 15.-Samuel J. Dali
las. president Of the Amateur Athletic
Union of the United States, yesterday
announced the full list of committees
appointed by him to look after A. A.
u. affairs for the ensuing year. They
include: Finance, championship, leg
islature. record, registration, basket
ball, gymnaStic, playground and re-
creation and a special committee for
redistricting the various associations
of the A. A. U.
In making the announcement Pres
ident Dallas said that he looked for
an unusually successful ear in ath-
letics and expects these committees
to be very active. The redistricting
committee is M committee in partic-
ular that will have considerable work
to do this year. This committee 10
expected to formulate plans for new
associations to be made up from ter
Citations which are considered too
large at the present time to accom-
plish good results. 1t is felt that
greater interest in amateur athletics
in the United States can be secured
by making two or more new district
associations from the territory of sew
eral of the larger associations now
having more territory h a they Can
properly manage.
In discussing this matter yesterday.
Mr.. Dallas said:S The Metropolitan
association at the present time COM
prises the states of New York, Con-
necticut and New Jersey north OF
Trenton. The officials of the associa.
ton feel that there is room at least
for three and possibly o u new dis
trict associations in the present Metro
politan territory. They would well
com the organization of a Connectt-
cut association, a New Jersey assoc
citation, a North Eastern New York
association and a Western New York
association.
cleveland and Columbus in Ohio
are really too far from the Allegheny
Mountain association headquarters in
Pittsburg. to obtain the best results,
and it might be advisable to develop
q new association around these w
important cities. Portions Of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois could be linked
together with perhaps Cincinnati or
Indianapolis as the headquarters.
Several new associations might be
organized in the present territory of
the Western association, which at
present covers an area of many thou
sand square miles. The same might
tain, Rocky Mountain and the three
Pacific coast associations.
Amateur athletics can be con-
trolled and regulated in a more sat-
%isfactory manner with smaller terri
tories for our district associations,
and the present plan is. think, a step
in the right direction, and will great
ly benefit athletics"
