Amateur Rule Shift Sets 12-Inch Pole Measurements
Charley Dean pushes Intercollegiate groups to adopt a 12 inch pole measurement for tracks, aligning with new amateur rule. Joe Wood makes a notable comeback for the Indians, showing his value with the bat after leaving the Red Sox. About 35 runners enter the St Alphonsus 10 mile race next Saturday with Hen van Fuller Roth vying for top honors. Arthur Roth at Camp Devens eyed to win soldier athlete prize. Jack Moakley drills Ivan Dresser as Cornell's Dresser targets Ted Berna's 9 174 5 second two mile mark at intercollegiates. Dresser clocked 8 222 5 on slow track, pace likely to shave Berna's record. Starter placement debate grows at A A U meeting. Yale's Johnny Mack argues for a side stance, while others favor behind the line.
