each runner would have chance to
compete, and would not have to stack

Up until last year medals were given
to the first five boys to finish. All
medal awards were stopped by the
school authorities in 1920.
On the week following the novice
championship the annual handicap run
will take place over the same course
as the novice championships. Then the
