INTERCOLLEGIATES AT PENN.

At the annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America, held last Saturday in New York, it was voted to hold the championship track and field meet this year on May 29 and 30 at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, in spite of the recommendation of the executive committee that it be held in the Stadium. This proposition was passed by a vote of 9 to 7, Amherst, College of the City of New York, Columbia, Michigan, New York University, Pennsylvania, Princeton, Stevens, and Swarthmore voting for Franklin Field, and Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, Williams, and Syracuse for the Stadium.

After a vigorous debate it was voted that in cross-country meets, each college should be represented by not more than seven men, five of whom should count as the team, instead of six men, as in previous years. An appropriation of $250 was made for an intercollegiate cross-country championship cup, to become the permanent property of the college first winning it five times, exclusive of ties.

The chairman of the executive committee, G. T. Kirby, of Columbia, discussed the refusal of the English universities to take part in an international meet this summer and closed by asking the individual college athletic associations to contribute to the Olympic fund. A motion to donate $1,000 to the expenses of the American Olympic team was passed unanimously by the delegates.

Bucknell, Colgate, Boston University, Georgetown, and Lafayette were dropped from membership in the association. A vote of thanks to Harvard and Pennsylvania for having offered the use of their athletic fields for previous meetings was passed.

The election of officers resulted as follows: president, C. G. Bamberger, Cornell; honorary vice-presidents, D. Abbott, Amherst, and H. Hill, Michigan; secretary, A. J. H. Magrath, New York University; treasurer, H. Hall, Columbia; executive committee, G. Emerson '08; G. M. Townsend, Yale; J. Havron, Jr., Princeton; and J. H. Cochran, Pennsylvania, G. Emerson '08 represented Harvard, and presided in the absence of J. J. Rowe '07, president of the association.
