CHICAGO, Jan. 13,--The National Collegiate Athletic Association cleared the way today for college athletes to participate in most of the indoor track season this year and issued an invitation to the AAU to participate in cooperative sanctioning.
The NCAA, in its annual convention, adopted a bylaw which sets an effective date of March 1 or prohibitions against collegiate competition in indoor meets sanctioned by the Amateur Athletic Union.
The National Collegiate Athletic Association decided last night to postpone for three months its collision with the organization that controls amateur track--and with eight Ivy League colleges.
The NCAA Council, the association's policy-making body, approved last night an amendment that would punish colleges whose track teams participated in meets sponsored by the Amateur Athletic Union.
"We do not intend to have our athletes used as weapons in this fight," said Yale athletic director Delaney Kiphuth, announcing the decision for the Ivies at that time.
