E. Sullivan New York, March 13.—Commenting In the new system of pointing of track Rnd field sports which was recently ndopted by the Intercollegiate Asso ciation of Amateur Athletes of Amer ica, James E. Sullivan, secretary of the Amateur Athletic Union, expresses the opinion that the winner should receive six points instead of five He believes that a victory is worth two points more tliau being the runner up. When asked if he did not think that the new method takes in too many men, Mr. Sullivan said: "I don't think so. It is a very good idea. The athletes will be able to score more points, and so will tho schools. It will make competition better, as the athletes will have more chances to get places. If a man fails to get a prize he gets an opportunity at least to do something for his school. "I ani going to recommend at the next annual meeting of tho Amateur Athletic Union that our scoring be THE HUB Last Chance TO SAVE MONEY AT OUR GREAT ODD and END SALE Our great Odd and End Sale is nearly over.

Instead, how over. of giving the victor five points, I will suggest that it be raised an ace • higher. A winner should receive two I points more than the runner-up." I In the future at all college games. I points will be distributed to the first 1 five, as follows: Five for first, four for ! second, three for third, two for fourth I and one for fifth. j The reason for the liberal award of : points, according to a college official, j is to have more colleges figure in tho i score, it possible. On the other hand, ! some of the experts fail to see that the ( system will make competition any j keener. In most sports, when an athlete, ; horse, boat or machine fails to finish j one, two or three, the effort Is not ; considered of much account, fc'uch has i been the opinion for many years. When prizes are given at athletic games they are distributed only to the first three, save in special events or distance runs. At the present time, at all cham pionship games of tho A. A. U. and Public School Athletic League, the point score system is five for first, three fcr second, two for third and one for fourth. If the A. A. U. changes its scoring the P. S. A. L. and allied bodies will probably follow suit. ST. PAUL TEAM WON The St. Paul tossers had a close call with the Neidig memorial five of Ober lin, winning by a score of 28 to 26. The Obeiiin five were In the lead until near the close of tho game. Beach and Fleck lead for the St. Paul tossers, and Osinan and Peck were Neidig stars.
