Need Uniform Set Of Records.
Need of a uniform set of intercol-
1egiate records was emphasized at ihe
Drake games when two colleges. ILL.,
nois and Iowa, hung up worlds inter
collegiate records In the half and mile
relays. respectively. The A. A u.
record book carries all its own marks
but few of the colleges. It is under
stood Maj. John L. Griflth. athletic
commissioner OF the western confer
ence. is going to compile such n book
which will contain authentic records
for all standard events held In inter
collegiate competition. As the situa-
ton now stands. the coach who claims
n record In the most forceful manner
Is generally rewarded.
Many of the coaches favor revers-
ing the order OF medley relays. It is
almost a f%oregone conclusion hat any
team with a strong anchor mar Will
win most any medley relay. AT the
Drake games, the order was reversed
and instead of the distance men fin
ishing last, they started the races and
the sprinters finished. This change
made much better racing n this will
be another point considered by the
National Collegiate A. A.

A clearer Interpretation Of the div
