HE SEES MY HAIR PEIPPIPIIEEPEVIIVEY’ NEW RULING SEEN FOR TRACK MEETS (Likely to Limit Each Club to ‘ One Relay Team New York, March 7.—Steps to pre- vent any organization from entering more than one team in a cham- | plonship relay were predicted today as a likely aftermath to the incidents surrounding the disqualification of two Illinois Athletic clyb quartets in the National Senior A. A. U. indoor track and field championships Wed- pesday night. The teams of the I. A. which retained its national title by a margin of a single point, were disqualified after Buker, running anchor for the second quartet, fouled Higgihns, New York-A. C. runner, who was thrown out of his stride and lost a spectacu- lar duel with Joie Ray of the other I. A. C. squad for first place. The New Yorkers were awarded the race, but the storm of criticism which the event aroused had not subsided today in athletic circles. Buker's actions in blocking Higgins' path were not intentional, according to his teammates, who pointed to the petitive reputation, but A, A, U, of- ficials pointed out that the fouling ap- peared to them so dellberate that they had no alternative but to penalize all I, A. C. entries in the event, although the first team contributed in no way to the incident. Frederick W. Rubien, secretary- treasurer of the National A. A. U. ex- pressed the opinion that chance of such a situation recurring probably would. be eliminated Dby restricting organizations to a single team in any relay. This, it was pointed out, would eliminate ground for criticism that a second team was entered for any purs pose other than to try to win. Buker had been lapped and was hopelessly out of the running when he arid Hig- |gins collided, Under present rules, a club entering two relay teams and it was said no change coyld be made before the next annual meeting of the A.

To have the opinions of nearly 150 mem- bers of the chamber of comm: converge, is bound to make body take notice, Such waa the case last evening when the gathering at the regular monthly meeting was unanimous in the expression that the Rev. George B. Donohue of St. Au« gustine's church, Bridgeport, delivered one of the most straightforward and brilliant addresses ever. heard at a chamber session. His subject was “The Frendly Town,” and the under- lying principle along which his re- marks were developed was human friendship. The Rev. Father Dowo- hue is an orator of ability and his delivery of such an interesting topic enhanced the response of his listeners, At the conclusion of his address, he was given a rising ovation and he was also the ‘recipient of many in- dividual congratulations, Father Donohue, according to his own admission, is an enthusiastic de- votee’of the boxing game, and he came out with a wonderful defense of the men who make their sustenance and help others by boxing. He gave a few iIncidents tending to make clear that the ambition that spurs many young men to fight in the ring is human friendship, the desire to as- sist relatives and others.
