It is difficult to be patient with the
National Collegiate A. A. officials for
permitting George Simpson to use the
Nicholson starting blocks in the 100
yard event, In which he did 0:9 Us on
Saturday.
Two weeks ago the writer, in many
newspapers throughout the Middle
West, as well as elsewhere throughout
the country, set forth the A. A. U.
attitude toward the blocks. It was
fair enough. The blocks would have to
be sanctioned not only by the A. A. U.
at its next annual convention, in No
vember. but, In the interest Of having
world records approved, would also have
to be approved by the International
Federation.
The National Collegiate A. A. had
approved Of the Nicholson blocks the
day before the Chicago meet, and as
far as this body itself Is concerned, the
action was perfectly proper If the N.
C. A. A. wishes to be independent and

"STARTERS" CLOUD.
FEAT OF SIMPSON
Use of Blocks Prevent Real
Comparison With His
and Old Record.
By WALTER TRUMBULL.

Wv YHEN talking of the prowess of
n George Simpson of Ohio
NV state and his record-b break
ing dash In the national
collegiates at Chicago I was
not aware Of the fact that he had used
starting blocks. That makes lot of
difference.
1t does not affect the fact that Simp-
son is a great sprinter. His perform
ance against the opposition he has faced
and the different distances at which
he has won prove him one of the finest
runners in the world.
But the use of starting blocks GER
tairly would cast a shadow on any rec
ord he made in 100 yards. One-f1fth Of
a second is not any long period of time.
More Is known now Of track construc-
ton and, imagine, of shoe construction
and training methods than was known
the 100 repeatedly in as seconds.
Paddock has frequently made that time.
Drew and Dan Kelly made it, and half
a dozen others have made 1t since.
In their prime today, and using start
ing blocks, who can tell how fast these
men would run? Or who can tell what
runners such as Craig, Hahn, Wefers
and more stars Of the past might do?
To compare a record made today with a
record Of yesterday means that 1t must
be made as nearly as possible under the
some conditions.
No man will be entitled to claim that
has run 100 yards faster than any other
man or men ever ran It until he beats
their time on a full-distance measure
without the aid of wind or slope or from
starting holes which he himself has dug.

NEW YORK, June IL Op).-Action

Convention at st. Louis In November
and not before.
Announcement to this effect was
made yesterday by Daniel j. Ferris,
secretary-treasurer of the A. A. o.,
in an effort to set at rest reports
that the A. A. U. had virtually de-
cided not to recognize Simpsons new
mark because starting blocks had
been used.
Ferris pointed out that the records
committee will not submit the new
mark for consideration until the
convention, and that the A. A. u.
has as yet taken no stand upon the
use of starting blocks.

Princeton began in 1911 with re-
gatta involving Yale and Cornell, the
distance being a mile and -eighths.
Since that time regattaS in April ana
May have come to be extremely stgn1h-
cant. Ali races have been rowed In
college environment, and the custom OF
entertaining visiting crews in clubs,
fraternity houses or dormitories OF the
university holding the regatta has done
much to establish q better understand
ing and genial feeling among the var1-
Gus institutions.
Has Helped PaStime.
For any condition such as this to
have arisen strong prepayment OF short
distance racing was absolutely neces-
sary. Princeton occupied this posi-
ton, and in large degree the present
status Of intercollegiate racing Is due
to Nassau's entrance into the sport and
her attitude toward 1t.
Princeton holds that too much time
and effort are required to prepare an
eight for a four-mile race. Oarsmen
must leave college before the term Is
ended, examinations are given at crew
quarters, and. all in all, it is felt that
scholastic and disciplinary reasons alone
bulk heavily in the way Of argument
against distance racing.
Again, there Is the question OF ex-
pense. Princeton will conduct rowing
at an annual expenditure Of $4,000 OF
$4,000. Forty and fifty thousand dol
lars are spent by Yale and Harvard,
and not much less by Poughkeepsie
crews.
Princeton holds the theory that u1-
less boys upon graduation are going to
enter employment which will involve
physical exercise. four-mile racing, or
even too much short-distance racing, Is
distinctly harmful, tnasmuch as heart
muscles developed in rowing are liable
to grow f1abby and to cause grievous
trouble unless they are used approx
mately as they were in college.
A r. In Dispute.
There Is a diversity Of medical opin-
ion about this, but the fact seems to be
clear that men in their forties who in

to athletes when it fails to recognize
