clfsts are prohibited from competing in
races held at places beyond one hundred
miles from, home. This rule has been
waived by Chairman Mott IN the case of
cyclists who are in college. These in ad-
dition to having their expenses paid by
their college association, may race at any
meet while representing a college. IL they
enter. however. as individuals, they must
comply with L. A. W. rules.
This is an important decision for college
cyclists, as many of them live more than
hundred miles from the college they at
tend. and would. therefore, be debarred
from holding a place on the college team
II the L. A. W. rules were strictly adhered
to- The league Is wise in its dealings with
college cyclists, and in view of the fact
that the little piece Of string by which it
controls them is very weak 1t makes a
virtue or necessity In conceding everything
possible.
The. league run to Cabin John on We'd
nesday was postponed on account of rain.
