EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.- The officers of the H. A. A. have decided to omit the standing high jump from the list of events at the winter meetings, and to substitute therefor the running broad jump. They have done this on the ground that the standing jump is no longer contested at the Mott Haven sports. Is this, however, the only consideration?

The purpose of the H. A. A. is to encourage athletics in all forms, not to check it. The running broad jump has its proper place in the out-door meetings, while the standing jump is only contested in the winter meeting. If it were only on account of the record Harvard has made in this event, we hope that the officers will see fit to reconsider their decision.
