No Easy Task for Tive AIfs
Alfred Goullst and Alfred urenda
undoubtedly have the call frorr sssoss
Of the wise birds, but to me they
fail to have cinch by any means
# there are only three teams tee
at the finish they will probably fuss
about bring home the bacon. but with
five CT six teams on even terms their
chances are far from being ROSY
You ask me why? Answer Is THAI
the sprinting abilities Of enc rider
this year counts for NIL, as both
riders must be able to uphold his
end of the team. not only through IA
dreary hours, but must be able to
do his bit at the finish as well. In
the last hour finish viii be rtln
every fifteen laps, and there shoula
be about sixteen finishes. This viii
not allow one man to do all the
sprintingi as it would mean a sprint
about every two minutes, and no 0nH
rider would care to undertake ter
rife hve-lap sprint every ten LAPS
The rules calls for tIre finishing rider
to be on the track Ave laps before
each finish, therefore il one rider
attempted to be in every finish he
would only have about rest for
eight laps, fer it would surely take
him two laps TO slow up and dis
mount. This would leave him eight
laps to remount and get IN fer the
next finish. There is only one wax
that a team with good Judgment can
win, and that is each rider of ths
rteam must do his share towards pill
ing up the points for the team.
BRENDA q Puzzle.
Gouilet viii probably win most 81

ffteen pounds alone must have
Slapped his vitality to a great extent
and he will not be the same old war
horse you see at the Velodrome. ar10

be an ordinary rider. Then aeain
the old complaint may play havnt
with him, and it Is barely possible be
may never finish. OF course. ell or
this is conjecture. but the real
only conjecture as well.
Moran and McNamara7 Here's :
