The funny part of the fore-and-aft race is that the chap who faces the front invariably tries to carry the boy facing the rear off his feet in his efforts to make speed. He forgets that 1t Is impossible for his team mate to run backward half as fast as he runs forward, so the chances are there will be a good many trip-ups and the race will be won by the pair who can best adapt their irregular gait to each other in- stead of the swiftest contestants.
