No Records With Steel Tape Enforced By Union Officials
Arm revfevance yesterday between Jamen F Sullivan president of the Ama teur Athletic Colon and Frederick W Rubien chairman of the record committee led to a decision to notify associations that records involving tape measurements in events like high jump pole vault broad jump hop step and jump hammer and weight throwing will not be accepted unless performed with a tested steel tape.
