An important rule was adopted at the
meeting OF the high schools games CON-
mittee OF the Public Schools Athletic Leasus

Ing effect on the track athletes. It pro-
vides that hereafter q boy shall be entered
In not more than two running events In
any one track meet. Up to this time the
number Of races In which boy might enter
has been unlimited. and II was not unusual
Tor crack athlete to run In three or four
events. This often enabled his school to
win the point trophy OF the meet. although

boy was detrimental. For several years

sohoolboys TO one event for each meot.
