BIG TEN COMMITTEE MAKES
CHANGES IN TRACK RULES
~ Free style in throwing the javelin
is no longer permissable in Big Ten
Conference meets. This ruling of the
committee, made iat a meeting held
last year, will affect numerous schools
who have entered teams in the Con-
ferer-ce outdoor meet, to be held at
Stagg field, Chicago, June 8.
Many of the men this year have
continued the practice of former
years, which allowed the throwing of
the javelin in any manner which was
desired. When the Conference added
this particular contest to the list of
field events, it was decided that, in
order to let the men get used to throw-
ing the spear, they could hold the jav-
elin anywheres and throw it in ay
manner.
A change was also made in the
measurement of the track, from 18
inches from the pole to 12, in order
to make the distance uniform through-
out the country. This was done a'Fter
Dismond, the Chicago star track man
of last year, equalled the world's rec-
ord in the 440 yard run. If he
had been running on a track 12 in-
ches from the pole instead of 18, lie
would, without doubt, have better the
world's mark.
