OCT 26, 1937 THE Ml(,HTGAN DAILY OUT. 26, 1937 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Punitive Steps Paul Keller Given Daily Award I Casey Stert-,el Sied To Pilot Boston Bees Basketball Squad Has Initial Practice May Be Taken Against AAU Mahoney Scoffs At Idea That IAAF Will Take Any Positive Action NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-(P)-Al though officials here and in Europe scouted the suggestion that Interna- tional Amateur Athletic Federation planned any sort of punitive action against the Amateur Athletic Union because of the latter's anti-Nazi stand, an A.A.U. official revealed to- day there had been some correspon- dence on the subject. Some time ago the Federation wrote the A.A.U. inquiring why Ger- many was not included in the itiner- ary of its touring track and field teams last summer and asked that the A.A.U. change its attitude which banned visits to Germany. Reply Was Requested A reply was requested by Oct. 18 in order that the I.A.A.F. could re- move the matter fromits agenda be- fore the annual meeting in London next March. Although the official did not say whether a reply had been sent, he doubted if anything could be done before the annual A.A.U. meeting in Boston Nov. 13-15. He also expressed doubt that the LA.A.F. intended to tatke punitive action. Enter Curt Denials In Europe, Bo Ekelund of Sweden, secretary of the international body, and General Giorgio Vaccaro, secre- tary of the Italian Olympic commit- tee, both entered emphatic denials. Ekelund said reports that he had suggested a ban against the A.A.U. at the suggestion of Italan sports offi- cials was "perfectly ridiculous." Gen- eral Vaccaro termed them "absolute- ly false and fantastic." Jeremiah T. Mahoney, A.A.U. pres- ident and leader of the anti-Nazi movement in the A.A.U. could not be reached for a statement today. Ma- honey led a bitter fight to prevent United States participation in the 1936 Olympics at Berlin. He was de- feated on this question, but later was elected A.A.U. president. AAU To Consider Metric System Ban NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-(P)-For the third year in succession, the Am- ateur Athletic Union will consider the abolishment of metric distances in track events and return to yards and miles when it convenes in its 49th convention at Boston, Nov. 13- 15. The proposal is one of the 76 pro- posed amendments which appears in the report of Chairman Albert F. Wheltle of the legislation committee, mailed today to the 400 delegates to the convention. Some progress was made last year by the opponents of the metric sys- tem of measuring when the rules were amended, leaving it optional with the district association. The national indoor and outdoor cham- pionships were about the only meets in the country at which the events were run at metric distances. CAGE MANAGERS TO REPORT Basketball managers are asked to report this evening at 7 p.m. to the Intramural Building. Players interested in trying out for the Varsity are asked to report at the same time and place with own equipment.

For I-MScoring Winner Of 1936-37 RaceI Presented With Trophyt By Sports Editor For his ability to amass 899 points in intramural competition last year,1 Paul Keller, '40, Psi Upsilon, yester- day was given the Michigan Daily Individual Performance Award for Intramural Athletics. The Daily Award, which will con- tinue as an annual feature, is the first one ever given to an individual winner in any intramural event. Keller scored all his points by entering prac- tically every activity sponsored by the I-M department either as part of the Psi Upsilon team or as an individual. The fact that it was his first year in school adds a great deal to the sig-I nificance of the feat. The presentation was made by Ir- vin Lisagor, sports editor of the Daily with Earl Riskey, assistant director of the I-M department, representing that department.
