On Monday the Boston Athletic Associa tion's annual Patriot's Day Marathon l race will bring together a great field of competitors, this year's event hav ing attracted an unusually large and representative entry. A few weeks ago the Federation j rule, prohibiting marathon runners from the benefit of receiving coach -, ing assistance or refreshments during ihe contest, threatened to become a; hard and last law governing this branch of road competition in this country. Old System Unlet However, by a two-thirds vote of the Amateur Athletic Union's governing board, these new conditions were not , accepted, being considered too se vare. Therefore the big race will be | run under the old system, which has 1 1 een in vogue for many years, and the I runnels will liave the ussistance of j < ttendants on bicycles all through their long journey over the Ashland-! Boston course for the nineteenth run-! liing of the event. Franklin Field, Philadelphia, where some of the greatest track events in ; the history of Aemrican sport have 1 een decided will prerent a busy scene next Friday and Saturday, while the annual relay games of the University of Pennsylvania are being contested. I Last year there was a decidedly inter-: national flavor given to this meet, when England sent her great Oxford University runners to take part in the l tour-mile relay team race. These were Sproule, Oaussen. Taher and Jackson, and running as named they: won in 18.03, with the Pennsylvania team second and Cornell third. De-; spite the fact that foreign competitors, 1 lor obvious reasons, are uable to take , part in this year's games the annual event promises to lie wonderfully at- 1 tractive.
