CHANGES TO BE MADE
IN TRACK AT PENN
Award of 1915 Intercollegiate
Championships Necessitates
Improvements.
The award of the Intercollegiate track
and field championships to Franklin
Field will compel the University of Penn
sylvania to make two Important changes
In Its cinder track. Because the asso
ciation ruled that all tracks must bo
measured, 12 Inches from tho pole Instead
of 13 Inches as heretofore, the pole of the
track will havo to be moved out six
Inches all around, though this will
probably bo accomplished by moving out
tho polo far enough on the two curves
bo that tho straightaways may bo left as
they are. Tho other change will require
a wiacnlng of the 220 yardB straightaway
so that five of the extra wide hurdles
may bo placed side by side.
The widening of tho track far tho law hurdle
race will tie a moro difficult and expensive
undertaking. This strnlghtnvvay runa Into the
exit at tho southeastern corner of the field.
To ronko room for five hurdlos the arched
fttitewav at this Dolnt will hnva to La mr
tlaily torn down, widened and rebuilt. Undor
tho old rule of only four hurdles and with
t! e hurdles but three and a half feet wide
the track was wldo enough. Uut last year
tho association not only added a fifth man
for the final heat, but ruled that tho hurdlos
should bo a foot wider than heretofore. The
Track Committee and the Ground Committee
have carefully considered both changes and tho
board of directors has approved them. Work
will b:gln on them very shortly and they
will be completed for tho relay carnival.
Pennsylvania's ISO-yard relay won defeated
In Its qualifying host by I'enn Btate, and
rcnnsylvanta's 1100-yard team was third In
that event. A fall by one of th Quaker
runners out the enuad cut of the running,
renn was second In the 11000-yard race. As
was to be expected, Pennsylvania's medley
Moo-yard team was the best In America, with
Llpnlncolt. Lockwood. Dorsey and Meredith
racing,

That Cornell has another strong track team
this year is evident from her showing In the
pole vault, s'.iot-put. high Jump and the relays.
Jack Moakley's men carried oft all three ftld
vents and won the 2000-metre relay.
HEXATHLON CONTEST
Y. M. C. A. National Event by Corre
spondence Starts Today.
The popularity of correspondence Indoor
athletic competition between two or mora
teams representing widely separated in
stitutions Is growing steadily The telegraph,
telephone and mall are, all used with satis
factory results, and the practice of holding
such contests without the entrants actually
meeting on the tame track or tleld Is spread
ing In all parts of the country. Colleges of the
Middle West have worked out a system of
dual meets, held simultaneously or within a
stated period, the results being exchanged by
either telephone or telegraph, and the final
cores based upon average or highest showing.
In bowling and shooting circles the system
has been In vogue for several years.
The latest development of this plan Is a
national hexathlon contest scheduled by the
Atbletlo League of the Y. M. C. A. of North
America. Tbe competition, which Is open to
all members of the league, will start today
and continue till March 20. All scores must
too received at the national headquarters not
latsr than March 111. The associations have
been graded Into thru classes according to
membership, and trophies will be awarded to
the winning team In each class. The events
are 6U and 220-yard potato races, running
high lump, standing broad Jump, pole vault
and sholput, Entries have been received from
branches In all parts of ths country, and the
competition Is expected to be ths largest ever
attempted under the correspondence method.

PRINCETON MEETS YALE
IN CRUCIAL CONTEST
Tomorrow's Bnsketbnll Game
Will Settle League Cham
pionship. Trlnceton and Tale, still neck and neck
for the lead In the Intercollegiate Basket
ball League race, will settle the question
of supremacy In an all-decisive game to
morrow night, when the pair meet In
New Haven. Jt will not be tho last game
of the year for either team, but each
Is equally sure of winning Its final en
counter, so that tomorrow's game will
without question decide the title-holder.
Yale's five appears to have a better
chance for tho pennant.
By defeating Pennsylvania while Prince
ton was trouncing Dartmouth on Satur
day Tale kept In the tio for first place,
a deadlock which neither team has been
able to break for three weeks. Each has
won six and lost tno games.
Cornell assured Itself of at least a tie
for second placo In tho league standing by
defeating Columbia at lthsca on Friday.
The Ithacnns will wind up their season
tonight, when they fnco Dartmouth at
home, and should havo llltlo difficulty In
winning at the expense of the hapless
Green five. Columbia, by reason of a
bad reversal of form, will find worse
lodgement than it hns ovnr hn,1 In thn
league since It was organized. Fourth
place la tho best tho team from Now
iorK can get, and It looks as If It will
finish tho season with only an oven
break, but It can hardly bo expected to
defeat tho all-powerful Tiger five when
the two meet at Princeton on Friday.
Pennsylvania brought Its season to nn
and in the game with Yalo, and has only
three victories out of 10 starts to Its
credit. McNichol, of Penn, continues to
lead In Individual scoring.

Is ono of the best all-round athletes de

At the meeting of the I. A. A. A. A.
In New York Saturday It was decided to
make collegiate tracks conform to the

next season. The referee In all contests,
also, was clothed with more arbitrary
powers. Chairman Klrby, of the advisory
board, directed the proceedings of the
meeting according to his own particular
pleasure.
George II. Brooke Is playing his old-time
game at racquets. Ills victory over John W,
Wear gives him the club title, and he is a
worthy contender for the championship.
Frank Baker's Salary
It la said that Frank Baker's salary as
third baseman for tha Athletics was $5000.
lie was bound to a three-year contract
The baseball war broke and salaries went
up with a bound. Stars of lesser magni
tude than Baker drew 110,000 and more.
There Is no doubt but that the Trappa
slugger enjoys the muslo of money, Prom
his standpoint. It Is not difficult to under
stand Ills dissatisfaction and his conse
quent demand for a boost. Other clubs
than the Athletics appear willing to make
the ante. If J. Franklin Baker Is worth
110,000 to tho New York Yankees, what
Is he worth to the Athletics? The fans,
who like to see baseballs mauled all over
the lot, think that Baker Is worth some
thing to the game here.
