NEW MOVE MADE IN
INDOOR ATHLETICS
Metropolitan Title Events to
Be Staged by Clubs In
stead Of A. A. u.

new move was introduced by tho
Championship Committee OF the Metro
politan Association Of the AAU. when
at special meeting II decided to split
up the twenty-four events and allot them
to clubs holding meets during the winter
instead of holding an indoor champion
ship. The reason advanced for the In
novation was that 1t will give a special
feature to each club holding a meet
and moreover a bigger list of events
will be contested than II only one meet
were held.
1t will be- noticed that some of the
clubs have been given more than one
event. an arrangement caused by the
request OF the clubs and the declaration
that they intended to give more than one
meet during the winter. This has been
the case with the knights of St An
tony the Morningside A. c., the Forty
seventh and Seventy-first regiments ana
the Bankers League. This last named
organization is one of the newcomers In
athletics, but it is going to the sport
with q, will and is sure to bring out some
first rate material.
One event remained to be applied for
and that was the five mile run. Nobody
seened to want it, and when the dele
gates were questioned it was said that
the race took TOO long n time to decide
end ate up the very best period of
nights sport. The Newark A. A, which
promises to make a splurge in athletics,
got the two mile run.
Following are the allotments of the
events TO the different clubs; Sixty yard
dash, Morningside A. C.. 10 yard dash,
106th Infantry 100 yard DASH Knights
OF St. Antony; 220 yard dash. Bankers
League: 800 yard dash, Twenty-third
Regiment; 440 yard run, Brooklyn Col
lege 500 yard run. Wilco a. A.; $50

ters Of a mile. Forty-seventh Regiment;

over the ends in another corner of the
field Keck whiled away the afternoon
by trying out his toe at goals from
placement. and Il his success to-day Is
any indication he will not fail again as
he did against the Midshipmen. Cleavcs
outdistanced Thompson consistently in
a punting duel. averaging fifty-five
yards, his kicks getting height as well as
distance. Murrey then gave a drop
kicking exhibition. being successful in
three-quarters OF his tries from the 35-
yard mark.
Clarity, Lour,e and Raymond~did not
appear on University Field at all this
afternoon. All three were pretty much
played out at the end of the Annapolis
