U. T. A. C. A. MEETING.

The annual business meeting of the University Track Athletic Cup Association was held at the Massasoit House, Springfield, on Saturday afternoon, and lasted about four hours. The delegates present were Wendell Baker, G. B. Morison, N. W. Bingham and G. Crompton, representing Harvard, and W. O. Hickok, G. B. K. Wade, and Sherman Day, representing Yale.

The election of officers, which was the first business, resulted in the choice of H. S. Brooks of Yale as president, and L. W. Jenkins of Harvard as secretary and treasurer.

Yale's motion to strike out the mile walk from the list of events was taken up and after a short discussion it was voted to drop the walk, beginning in the year 1896. Harvard's motion to have the hammer thrown from a run was also carried, the change to take effect in 1896.

On motion of Harvard it was agreed to add a team race to the programme of the dual meet, to be run independently and the result not to count for the cup. This race will be the last event on the programme and the contestants may be either men who have previously run in the meeting or entirely fresh men. If the race is a success this year it was agreed that it might be considered a possible substitute for the mile walk next year.

On motion of Harvard it was agreed that at least twenty minutes be allowed between the trials and the final heat in the 220 yards dash. It was also decided that the order of the field events should be changed so that the shot should come first on the programme instead of last, and that the pole vault should be started at the same time as the shot.

Yale's motion to change the date of the games from May 11 to May 18 was next discussed. Yale urged her case solely on the ground that it was impossible for her to get her men in condition in time for the earlier date. After a debate of about two hours, the Harvard graduate delegates decided it was best to give Yale the chance she desired, - of bringing her men up in their best condition, and the motion when put was carried, on condition that it should apply to this year only.

The selection of the officials for the games was left to a committee of graduates.
