President Dallas Aids to
. Look After Affairs for
Ensuing Year.

NEW YORK, January 11.-Samuei
J. Dallas. 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, cham
pionship. legislative, record. regis
tration. basket ball, gymnastic. play
ground and recreation and a special
committee for redistricting the vari-
Gus associations of the a. a. L.
In making the announcement Presi-
dent Dallas said that he looked for
an unusually successful year in ath-
1etics and expects these committees
to be very active. The redistrictinS
committee is one committee in par
ticuiar that will have considerable
work to do this, year. This commit
tee is expected to formulate plans for
new associations to be made up from
territory taken from some of the as
sociations 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
several of the larger associations
now having more territory than they
can properly manage.
In discussing this matter yesterday.
Mr.. Dallas said, "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
trict associations in the present
Metropolitan territory. They would
welcome the organization of a Con-
necticut Association, New Jersey
Association, Northeastern New
York Association and a Western New
York Association.
New Ohio Association.
Cleveland and Columbus, in Ohio.
gheny Mountain Association head
quarters in Pittsburgh to obtain the
best results. and it might be advis-
able to develop new association
around these two important cities.
Portions of Ohio, Indiana, and Illi-
nois 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 thous-
and square miles. The same might be
said of the Southern, Intermountain
Rocky Mountain and the three Pacific
coast associations.
Amateur athletics can be controlled
and regulated in a more satisfactory
manner with smaller territories for
our district association and the
present plan is. / think, a step in the
right direction. and will greatly ben
eft athletics"
