Yale Favors Rule Giving Freshies Place in Championship Meets Executive Committee of 1. A. A. A. A. to Discuss Impor- tant Changes To-Morrow. Intercollegiate Axsoolation of Amateur Athletes of America, which meets to-morrow afternoon at the Waldorf-Astoria, will discuss amendments to the rules that are ox- pected to lead to a standardization of all forms of track and field athletica, Several of the proposed amendments are in line with the rules adopted by the recently organized International Amatour Athletic Federation, Ono of the radical proposals would Permit freshmen to participate in champlonship meets of the associa- tion, ‘This will be the fourth time that this amondment has been brought before the association and it always has been lost by a comparatively close vote, There is a good chance of ita adoption this time, as Yale ls said to be favorably interested in thie propoxed change. The more important changes in by- Jawa and constitution to conform with the I, A. A, F, standards include measuring the track twelve inches from the polo ihatead of eighteen Inches, in vogue at present; giving the rter the right to recall runners by piatol shot in case of unfair start, and the creation of a new official with the title of “Preas Steward.” These amendmenta, if adopted, will be given their initial test at the first indoor championahtp meet of the a: 9 Dire Exeoutive Committees of the sgt Mare soctgh ale “4 weat Murray to get @ good job i po ato ieaoae sociation to be held at Madison Square Garden on the night of March 6, These games will mark the climax of the college board tr as tho “intercollegiate ally in May complete the college ath- lete's cinder path year, There is a marked coftrast between the two meets, however, for the Garden games will be strictly team compe- Ution, This rule will apply to the ‘eld events as well as tho track relay races, for the shot-put, pole vault and running high jump will all be contested by teams of five men from the various entering universities, Awards will be made on the basis of the best all-around showing, the scoring system to be similar to that used in the Intercollegiate cross- country champlonships, FISTIC NEWS Jems Willard, the cowboy hearyweight, who ts tw fight Jack Johnson for the world’s heavyweight champioship title, will have to pay $1,000 to his former manager, Charles Cuuer, the Chicago wretiee and former pugtiist, This sum was awarded by « judge tn Milwaukee as @ result of ult to collect for bringing Willard out as « miccomful fighter, Cutler sued Willant tmmo- diately after the big fighter broke away from him ‘and engaged Tom Jones as hie manager, Charley White, who fights Freddie Welsh in Madison Square Garden on Jan, 26, left Chicago today for this city to finish up bie training for White was accompanied by his man.

A definite investigation will be inaugurated and the protests from the advocates of a three-mile race will be considered, but the fact that the distance has not yet been changed is evidence that the stewards are not yet convinced that a four-mile .race is injurious, At the meeting last night Cornell, Columbia and the University of Penn- sylvania were represented. These three colleges comprise the associa- tion and as all other colleges that have crews in the race are really only invited guests, they had no voice in the discussion. The stewards voted to Invite Syra- cuse and Wisconsin again. The for- mer will probably send a crew, but It is not expected that Wisconsin will be represented. The Badgers have been trying to have the ban on rowing lifted. But this could only be brought about If the Poughkeepsie race was cut down to three miles. The winner of the Pacific Intercollegiate regatta will also be. asked to send a crew. Last year Washington came here to row, The date of the race this year is Monday, June 28. This is the first time that the regatta has been held early in the week, Another important change that will be adopted Ins to hold the freshman race early in the day, about 10 in the morning. Such ango Will insure a better varsity race. Usually after the freshman race there is a lot of crowding among the excursion boats for points of vantage. Tho swell has hardly died down be- fore the, big race is called and the crews do not have perfect water. Under the new condition of affairs every boat would be in its place two hours before the big race is cajled, ———— SIX-YEAR-OLD SENSATION AT THE JUAREZ TRACK, RACE TRACK, Juarez, Jan. 16.—One of the good winning performers here this winter that may cut some figure on the American tracks in the season of 1915 is the gelding Sir Dyke. Though now six years old he has run in but a few races and is as sound as @ bell of brass. When he first started here he was in at an entered selling price of $200, and now some of the halter men have suddenly awakened to the fact that a rare bargain got by them, as Sir Dyke really promises to develop into a handicap performer by the time spring rolls a. /und. Any horse that can closely follow the pace set by a mare of the class of Pan Zareta must possess speed of a high order. Moreover, he seems to finish out his races with the resolution for racing until fully developed, Sir Dyke, being sound in wind and limp, | may keep on getting better and better, the racing world. Sir Dyke's dam and grandam were Voth maidens’ as racers, but his sire, Modred, was a good turf performer, and has to his credit some clever winners since entering the stud. From the winners during the next two months some nice prospects in the two-year-old division are ex- pected to result. Last season the unbeaten Last Coin wintered here and a real good youngster showed up in Ed. Howard, Mose’ Goldblatt, who developed this ton, thought that he had tar when he took him to Ken- from here last spring. The youngster shipped to Lexington in great shape and his trainer regarded Hreeders' Futurity ax good as when he unloaded him off the Because the gelding’s owner day there, trainer Goldblatt started him, The one eye in the race and as the barrier was raised bolted to the inside, piling the other, Ed Howard was the worst forer of the Jot and was so badly cut up that he had to be turned out the rest of the season. The accident has since compelled him to undergo firing in both front legs, and as 4 consequence he may never performer again be the high be once was.

(Special to The Evening World.) MILWAUKEE, Jan. 16— Jotany Dundee of New York, the long-armed scrapper with a Scotch name and Italian parentage, fought a fast draw with Jimmy Duffy, the pride of Lock- port. It was a battle that has sel- dom been equalled for speed and ex- eltement, for both boys worked all the time. There was only one round which was not full of action. The New York boy led for the first three rounds, and then Duffy solved his plan of attack, and ‘putting hia weight to its full advantage, took the next three rounds. From then on the fighting was even. Dundee puzzled the Lockport bat- tler by a kangaroo sort of trick by which he leaped in the air and pound- ed down his left before his feet hit the ground, Dundee worked this successfully in the earlier rounds, but in the fourth Duffy started to use his long left nd spoiled the effect of the odd Duns dee trick, Duffy did heavy execution with his left from this time on. Dundee fought in a rushing style that would have made trouble for a boxer with a shorter reach than Duffy's. Despite the difference in weight, it was a slam-bang scrap. Duffy weighed nearly 137 pounds, while Dundee weighed 126. Deal Has Jumped Braves to Feds, Report Has It ST.
