Radical changes proposed to Amateur Athletic Union rules
New York Nov 1 The revised constitution and by laws of the Amateur Athletic Union to be voted on at the Nov 20 annual meeting propose radical changes. They include amateur delegates only and a broadened definition of amateur, plus reinstatement and pardoning powers. The plan eliminates a clause allowing women to register for swimming events and tightens eligibility rules such as coaching certain individuals and capitalizing athletic fame.
