finally been agreed upon are: 100 yds. dash, 440 yds. run, 880 yds. run, one mile run, 120 yds. high hurdles, broad jump, high jump, hammer, and shot. The conditions governing some of the events will be different from what the Yale men have been used to. In the 100 yds. and the two jumps there will be practically no change. But in the quarter-mile, half-mile and one mile runs the contestants will race with the pole on the right side instead of on the left as in America.

The hurdle race will be run on turf. The hurdles used in England are far heavier than those used here and striking a hurdle means not knocking it down but falling.

The hammer is to be thrown from a 30 foot circle, which of course amounts to an unlimitee run. The shot will be put from a ten foot square, which will not have the toe-board prescribed by the American rules.

Judging from the records made at the two colleges, Yale should win the 100 yds., the hurdles, the hammer and the shot, with the chances in the other five events favoring Oxford.
