Track Athletics in the West.

Harry Cornish, manager of the Chicago Athletic Club, is urging the necessity of some athletic meeting in the West similar to the Mott Haven meet. He says that at present there is no way in which the Western colleges can prove the status of their development in track athletics. The leagues in track athletics in the West are none of them comprehensive enough and the championship in either one of them is at best an uncertain and unsatisfactory honor.

He intimates that if the colleges will do their part the Chicago Athletic Club will hold a meeting open to all colleges for the championship of the West. There is every reason to believe that the leading colleges will accept this offer and that the games will be held in Chicago. Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and other universities would probably be represented.
