WHAT, ANOTHER RULE1 Last year there was much contro-
versy conce:r.ning the number of events a boy could enter in field day, and no definite step was taken. Dr. P endleton, with the aid of the fac- ulty, has at last succeeded in the forming a rule governing this.
Field day this year will be held on May 15 and the new rule will be in effect. It is as follows: a participant can enter in only two events. If
both events are running events, they must be both under the quarter mile. This arrangement gives three possi- bilities: two field events, one field and one running event, two running events, provided both are dashes.
