For this reason the programme for the fall meeting, which takes place October 28th, will include, among other events, six competitions so limited as to exclude all athletes who hold exceptional records. Such being the case no man can plead lack of proficiency as an excuse for not entering in the fall sports. In order to reach,. if possible...
