second This was a fine run by Wilson
who won out easily.
A disagreement came up between
the coaches of the two teams as TO
whether a relay race must. according
TO rule. be included in a college meet.
The Carolina people claimed TO De
prepared for a relay race, and the
Judges conceded them the points that
would come from first place IN sucn Il
race. Their claim was contested by
the A & Nj. men who say that the llSt
given in the rules of the Amateur Atm
letic Union of the u. S. for l9O5 does
not include relay race.
The track was in good con-ltlon'
ana the short runs especially were
fast ones. The starts were all good.
but in the mile race some foullng
was done, and new start had to be
called. Carolina man pocketed the
inside A. & M. man contrary to the
rule that q runner must not be cut
off unless the man cutting off has a
lead of feet.
