CORNELL BEST IN MEET
Wins Triangular Event by Narrow
Margin From Dartmouth, With
Harvard Third.

BOSTON, February 26.-The Cornell
track team won the annual triangular
contest with Harvard and Dartmouth
at the Mechanics Building today, with
80 l-o points. Dartmouth was sec
ond, with 35 3-5, ana Harvard trailed,
with 26 Is.
The 1thacans' success was unex-
pected, as Cornell had little indoor
training. The running specialists
who have been the principal factor of
strength with Cornell teams for de-
cade brought their team victory. as
almost two thirds of Cornelrs points
were gained in three events, the 500
yards, 1000 yards and relay races.
Thomson, of Dartmouth, was the
individual star, the Olympic hurdling
champion equaling the reputed
world record of seconds for the
non-regulation 65 yards high hurdles
event, gaining second place in the
broad jump and running as anchor in
the relay. His negro teammate, J.
A. Shelburne, brought ten points to
Dartmouth, dashing in first in the
40 yards event and putting the shot
farthest.
The only real break in Cornell's
running successes was by Capt D.
F. O'Connell of Harvard who won the
mile run in duel with r. c. Nc
Dermott. the Ithacans' long distance
leader. The 1000 yards run was won
by c. c. Carter of Cornell.

how to keep his home-run record
down. so far as my delivery is con-

doesn't like and won't hit at unless
he has to. And when he does connect
with them. they are not home runs;
not by jugful. | don't expect to

And don't forget that he will find

Midshipmen Win, As to 20, Having
an Easy Time After Short
Battle for Lead.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, February 26.-
Navy blue made Army gray Srayer

midshipman tossers ran roughshod
over the cadets in their annual bas-
ket ball clash. For a few minutes
after the start the game was really
q struggle, but once Navy got undef
way it was the finish of Army The
midshipmen won, 40 to %, and the
cadets were fortunate in not suffer
ing worse defeat
Navy triumphed because it had
team work, and it was lack of the
same thing that brought disaster to
Army. The midshipmen had almost
everything necessary TO make Il good
Quint. They passed well, guarded
closely and always were on the ball.
Their only weakness was shooting.
Navy missed about twice as many
shots as it pocketed and most OF the
tosses were from beneath the basket.
The midShipmen had no particular
stars, for every man was in the game
at all times. Mckee led the offensive

the burden in the next session. Ault.

towers of strength as guards. Army
never got through them. making its
goals after runs down the side court
or on intercepted Navy passes.
Army started the game in whirl-
lead. but Navy soon found itself and
went TO the front end of an S-to-7
count with d neat goal by Byerly.
Mckee's throw from the foul line
added a point to Nays count before
Smythe's effort tied for Army. Ault

court and Navy was leading. IL to 9.
The Army never even tied the mid

Such a rule has been talked or at
times as an idealistic thing, but no
school nor association nor confer
ence before has had the courage to
incorporate it in it's code.
Means Control in South.
Another factor adopted which prac-
tically will give the conference ath-
letic control of the south was that
no member of the conference Shall
compete with any outside school
which does not have an eligibility
the conference.
Members of the conference are Ala
bama, Alabama Poly, Virginia, Mary
land. Washington and Lee, Virginia
Poly, North Carolina State, Univer-
sity of North Carolina. Clemson.
Georgia, Kentucky. Tennessee, Georgia
Tech, Mississippi A. and NJ. and Tu-
lane.
Following is eligibility code under
which the organization is founded
/. The adoption of the one year
rule, which provides that no man may
play on any team until he shall have
been in college a full year.
2. No athlete who has taken part
in intercollegiate athletics at one in
'stitution shall ever represent an
other conference institution.
3. Participation in intercollegiate
athletics shall be limited to three
years over a four-year period.
4. Faculty members on the athletic
committees in the different institu-
tions must constitute a majority and
assume responsibility for carrying
out the eligibility rules
B. No student may accept remuner-
alton for participating in any branch
Of sport or for. services in connection
with athletics or physical education.
No student may become a member of
any team for occasional contests until
after permission has been obtained
from the faculty committee on ath-
letics: Such students who receive ex-
penses for such contests must submit
certified vouchers. This rule consti-
tutes an absolute ban on, summer
base ball Virginia and Maryland led
the fight. and it was the rule now en-
forced at the latter which finally was
adopted
1t also was decided to limit the
number of foot ball games for fresh
man teams to five and to allow only
those who have not attended any
other institution to be eligible.
Track and field rules of the National
Collegiate Athletic Association were
adopted.
All rules and regulations became eff
fective January l, 1922.
Sanford Chosen President.
Prof. S. V. Sanford of Georgia was
elected president, DR.. J. B. Crenshaw
of Georgia Tech vice president and n.
w. Southerly of Tennessee secretary
treasurer.
All but three of the institutions
present stated they were ready to
subscribe to the conference and be-
come members Immediately. These
three were allowed thirty days in
which to accept or decline.
1t was decided to limit the associa-
ton to membership of sixteen and
not to invite any other institution to
join. Other universities or colleges
that desire to join will have to pre-
sent applications.

LIKES FOOT BALL CODE
Harvard's Only Suggestion to Be
That of Making Blocked For
ward Pass a Free Ball.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass. February 26.-
Harvard University's voice at the
Forthcoming meeting of the foot ball
rules committee will be raised only to
favor the suggestion that a forward
pass blocked behind the line of scrim-
mage becomes anybody's ball.
The committee in charge Of gridiron
activities at Harvard, in considering
the instructions it should give its
representative to the meeting, agreed
that the playing code is generally
satisfactory as it stands.
Maj. Fred w. Moore, graduate man.
ager of athletics, was instructed also
that the Crimson authorities are
agreeable to such other minor changes
as may find favor with the committee.
The proposal that playing periods be
regulated by number of plays instead
of by the watch was frowned upon.
The suggestion by Maj. c. D. DAILY.
head coach at West Point, that the
committee call convention of
coaches, officials and graduate man
ayers soon after the close of the sea
SON instead of waiting until spring to
consider changes, is considered a good
idea.
