A meeting of the National Association of Amateur Athletes was held recently in New York to discuss a proposed change in the rules of the association. The New York, Manhattan, Staten Island, Williamsburg, American, Scottish-American, Adelphi, and Elizabeth Athletic clubs were represented. A motion was made that the rules be amended so that members of the association be permitted to enter contests in which professional events are included, provided that no professionals be entered in the particular contests in which the members of the association compete. The motion was discussed very spiritedly, and when put to vote was carried, representatives of all but the American Athletic Club voting in favor of the amendment.
