I. C. A. A. A. A. ELECTED BOLTON NEW PRESIDENT

Julian Castle Bolton '20, of Cleveland, Ohio, was elected president of the I. C. A. A. A. A. for the coming year at the annual convention in the Waldorf Astoria, New York City, Saturday evening. Bolton, who succeeds R. F. Blair of Yale, a captain in the R. O. T. C. at New Haven, is acting manager of the University track team this year, having been Freshman manager in 1917, and was the University's only representative at the convention.

The stand taken by the University in respect to the advisability of entering a regular team at the annual track and field games, which will be held this year at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, May 31 and June 1, was clearly opposed to such a step. Yale and Princeton virtually coincided with the views held by the University, and, although they did not come to an actual decision, will probably send only individual entries to the meet.

Not all the colleges agreed, however, and after a heated discussion, Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Johns Hopkins, M. I. T., New York University, Pennsylvania and Swarthmore announced that they would send full teams. The rest of the colleges represented are either undecided as yet, or will close too early to permit their sending teams.

A resolution was passed which gave to the new executive committee the power to add to the list of events any new exhibitions or competitions which it might deem advisable to include. This means that military drills and military athletic events such as wall scaling and grenade throwing may be on the program. It was decided also to hold exhibitions of javelin and discus throwing. Though there was the ever recurring discussion as to whether the hammer throw should be eliminated from the list, no such motion was carried, and the event will undoubtedly take place as usual.

In accordance with these new decisions it is planned to have delegations of soldiers and sailors from various camps and stations in exhibition manoeuvers.

The advisory committee stated that no decision had been reached as yet in regard to the matter of arranging an intercollegiate meet for freshmen, but the matter is under consideration. Other important items of business included the election of the University of Pittsburgh to membership in the association, and the decision of the Pittsburgh delegates to send a team to the intercollegiate games. Although the representative from California and Leland Stanford asked that, in consideration of war conditions and the distance of those universities from Philadelphia, the rule providing for the exclusion from membership of colleges which are not represented by a team for two years consecutively be suspended, it was voted that no change in the constitution be made at this time.

The list of executive officers for the coming year follows: President, J. C. Bolton '20; vice-presidents, P. Heald, Swarthmore, and D. O. E. Peterson, Syracuse; secretary, H. G. Larson, Columbia; treasurer, E. Halsey, N. Y. U.; chairman of executive committee, R. F. Blair, Yale
