by the local Cornell people, il has
been decided that the relay races this
year will be run under slightly new
ruling. The new ruling is that when
the runners reach point on the track
100 yards from the finish or touch
line. distinctive flag will be placed
at the touch or finish line TO Indicate
In what lane the respective runners
shah finish BY this plan, the next
man to run win know his exact POI

Regarding Entries.
Regarding the entries in the meet.
Il has been decided that man may
enter but one relay race This de-
cision necessitates the entering Of is
men from each school. a man may
enter as many Individual events as
he NAV care to. 1t also has been
decided that oil councillors must re-
port to the Judges after the finish Of
each race in order that their num-
hers and names may be confirmed.
Trainers and handlers will be required
TO keep away from the men at the
start and at the finish of all events.
All competitors must report to the
clerk Of the course before the meet

OF each. No coaching by those inside
the track will be allowed at any time.
The foregoing rulings are in accord
ance with the national athletic rules of
1913. On all relays, there will be
but one drawing for positions on the
track. and that shall determine the
positions Of the entries In the four re-.
lays in the following manner:
For instance, If Punahou gets the
pole in the one-mile relay, the first
event In this class. Mckinley second
and St Louis third, in the fourmile
relay, the second event of the class,
Mckinley will have first place. St
Louis second and the other schools
win follow in order. while Punahoul
will drop back To sixth place. In the
:two-nile relay they will move up one
IN similar manner. thus giving each
school an equal ehances and delng:
away with a drawing for each relay.
Order Of Events chsneed.
Upon the advice OF the Cornell com.
mittee, the order Of events for the
1914 meet has been changed from that
of last year Last year the 220-yard
hurdles event came after the pole
vault and the mile run after the broad
jump. These two have been inter
changed this year. from the fact that
some of those who go into the 100
yards might enter the hurdles and not
the one mile relay. which would give.
them little time to rest ND.
The meeting will be held al Kane
hameha field on the afternoon Of
March Z. and will begin promptly at
z::30 o'clock.
