Many Athletes Will

Carroll Institutes New Year Run Should Be
SuCCcssful-SanCtiOn of A. A. u Obtained
and Arrangements About Complete.

As the cross-eountry run to be given
under the auspices of Carroll Institute
on January grows nearer, the inter-
est and rivalry among the members of
the Tenth Street club is making itself
more manifest.
Now that the sanction of the South
Atlantic Association of the Amateur
Athletic Union for the holding of this
meet has been received, more regard
is being paid to the details. Before the
competitors are allowed to start in the
big jog, every one Of them will be ex-
aUined by physician at the institute
ard those not physically fit and COM
petent to engage in the strenuous trip
into the country and back, will have to
await further development and training.
The management, realizing that some Of
the competitors who have not properly
trained may wish TO enter, does not
want to take any chances, and believes
that in adopting this stand it is taking
safe course. Only those who are fit
should start in such race. To further
insure the safety and condition of the
men a carriage will follow the contest

distances SO well. He spent his early
school days among the English prepara-
tory schools and comes to a race of this

From the time the men left the house in

was for a rule to do away with some
of the heavy play which has been over
done and taken away a large part of
the spectacular which is so we'll liked

century scores of the Middle West would
be split III two.
