The Memorial Athletic Club is working
hard in preparation for the ten-mile
marathon run to be given by it February
8. The race. according to Manager Fo-
ley. will not be held under the sanction
or the Amateur Athletic Union
1t will be an open affair, but it is
possible that only limited number OF
entries will be received. 1t is certain that
only local men will run in the event If
the A. A. L. refuses to allow its members
to compete. In regard to this. Manager
Foley had the following to say: at may
be that We will not get many entries
from the outside. but we are going to
hold the event under the sanction OF
the local athletic federation. 1t may he
a success, or ii may not be. but. be
that as 1t may, We are going to test it.
IT it works out ali right. then We will have
accomplished something never done pre-
viously; If it goes wrong, it will not be
failure, because we are assured of
enough entYies under any conditions to
make the event worth while
The race will take place over practi-
Galley the same course as that run a little
over week ago in the closed event held
by the same club.
It is figured that the Memorial Club
will stand an excellent chance to win it's
own race, even though there are many
entrants from other organizations. The
following are the names of the men, and
