At the annual meeting of the Intercollegiate Amateur Athletic Association of America in New York last Saturday several amendments were made to the Constitution and by-laws.

Hereafter all field events will be started on the Friday afternoon preceding the Saturday on which the games are held, the best five men in each event competing against each other on the following day.

It was voted that college men might act as referees at intercollegiate meets, and that at least two officials be appointed for each position necessary for conducting the games.

In regard to the pole vault, it was decided to allow a competitor to use a pole of any size or weight. He must not, however, during the vault, raise the hand, which was uppermost at first, to a point higher on the pole, or raise the hand, which was undermost to a point on the pole above the other hand. "Any competitor who uses a pole without a spike, shall be allowed to dig a hole not more than one foot in diameter at the take off, in which to plant his pole."

Gold, silver and bronze medals were agreed upon as prizes for first, second and third places respectively.

The annual intercollegiate meet this year will be held on May 31.

Officers were elected as follows: President, G. H. Hooker, Cornell; vice-presidents, J. O. Reeder, Haverford and J. H. Blauvelt, Fordham; secretary, C. R. Adams, New York University; treasurer, A. B. A. Bradley, Columbia; executive committee, E. R. Large, Princeton C. Gould, Yale, L. P. Frothingham, Harvard and E. S. Mechling, Pennsylvania; advisory committee, G. Kirby, Columbia, M.
