At a recent meetiug of the advisory and executive com
mit tees of the Intercollegiate Athletic Association of Amateur
Athletes, the recommendation was unanimously adopted to limit
tho competitors at the annual field and traok championihips to
studenta who have been in residence at least one year at the in
stitutions represented.
This rule *is *coming, into the .South before long and Tech',
and the rest of them may as well - begin to harden themselves to it. ’
It seems the' only" way to'curb certain athletio evils and it is
quite certain to be "in our midst ” before many more years are
passed.
The local interest in yacht racing is not at a boiling point
right now, but all the civilized world is interested in tho semi-
occasional races for the America’s Cup. An effort.is being mado
in England to put these races on • more sane basis by'having
the conditions changed ao that the competing yachts will be
more seaworthy and more practical affairs and not strictly rac
ing machines which go on the junk pile as soon as the races are
over.
This scorns a reasonable request on the part of our English
cousins and ought to be granted. The public would like more
races for the America’■ cup, but now that the Americans have
proved ao concluaively that they can build racing machinea which
will beat anything that Great Britain can evolve there is little
chance. Just for the fun of the thing, why not change tho condi
tions and aee what the Eugliahmrn can do toward building boats
which are capable of other stunta betides racing.
