Schick Decision Tonight.

A meeting of the Executive Committee of the Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America will be held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, New York, tonight, to decide whether the protest against W. A. Schick '05 in the Intercollegiate Meet of last spring shall be allowed. Harvard will be represented by J. G. Willis '02, and representatives of Yale, Princeton, Pennsylvania and Cornell will be present.

The protest, which was made by Yale, is based on a rule which provides that a man who takes part in an open track meet before entering college shall not represent that college in the intercollegiate meet until a year after entrance. Schick took part in the Springfield Diocesan Games at Holyoke in the spring of 1900, and it is claimed by Yale that these were open games. The Diocesan Union, however, has for several years given an annual meet, open only to its own members. These meets have always been considered closed by the New England A.A.U., but the sanction for the meet in 1900 was made out for an open meet because of a misunderstanding. Yale now has that sanction as evidence, but to meet it there is a statement from the New England A. A. U., that it considers the games closed. An argument against allowing the protest is that the Diocesan games are similar in every way to the interscholastic meets given annually by Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania, and that if the Diocesan games are declared open the interscholastic ones will have to be included in the same classification.

If Schick is disqualified, the loss of the points won by him for Harvard will give Yale the victory.
