Charles Paddock

By A. A. u. Officials

New York, November 2o.-fhe vir-
tual rejection OF seven records sub

OF alleged faulty timing and the de-
oision to leave the question of con-
trolling women's amateur athletic
activities to the incoming board Of
governors, were the outstanding fea-
lures Of todays meeting of the Anna
teur Athletic union.
Sharp controversy regarding Fad
docks records preceded the final De
cisiou of the delegate to refer their,
passage to the record committee for
1928, which body will be elected to-
morrow.
In view OF the fact that the new
committee will not officially function
until late in the fall Of 1928, unless
special meetings are held. it was the
general opinion of the delegates that
acceptances of the records appeared
remote.
Paddock's Records
The records claimed for Paddock
were all made in one race run at
Santa Barbara, Cal, July 4. They in
cluded what are claimed as five
worlds and two American records
for distances ranging from 60 to 173
yards. They are as follows: SO yards,
6 10 seconds; 70 yards. I lilo see
onds rs yards, as seconds; SO

on the question OF controlling wom-

was referred to the incoming board

If one will look back through

the scores have always been

football battles OF the season
when the two teams tie up.
Painters Throw Clutches Away
The Panther aggregation has
suffered pretty severely the last
few weeks, many men having
been crippled in the hectic strug-
giles in which they have been en-
gagged. Much has been said about
the large hospital list that Coach
Gillem and Coach Brown have
had to contend with. Still, man
who is on the inside and who
should know whereof he speaks,
said Monday that the Panther
coaches would be able to start
their full strength against the
Bulldogs in the week end battle.
This means shat the Birmingham
Southern will be able to put her
strongest line up of the season
in the field. All OF which causes

ginning to become a Bit downcast
