In the case of two or more colleges scoring an equal number of points, if neither of those colleges shall have been champion for the previous year, then the championship shall be held in abeyance for the ensuing year, and merely the names of the col- leges that make the tie shall be inscribed on the trophy, and the trophy shall be kept for the year by the Graduate Executive Committee. RULES OF ELIGIBILITY RULE I. No person shall be allowed to compete at any athletic meet of this Association who is not an amateur as set forth in Rule II. of these Rules of Eligibility. RULE II. DEFINITION OF AN AMATEUR. An amateur is a! person who has never competed in an open competition, or for money, or under a false name, or with a pro- fessional for a prize, or with a professional where gate money is charged, nor has ever at any time taught, pursued, or assisted at athletic exercises for money, or for any valuable consideration. But nothing in this definition shall be construed to prohibit the competition between amateurs for medals, cups, or other prizes than money. And it is hereby expressly declared that this defi- nition is retroactive. To prevent any misunderstanding in reading the above, the Association draws attention to the following explanations and adjudications : An athlete has forfeited his right to compete as an amateur, and has thereby become a professional, by — (a) Ever having competed in an open competition of any sort of athletic exercise — i. e. } a competition the entries to which are open to all, irrespective as to whether the competitors are ama- teurs or professionals, and whether such competition be for a prize or not. ( b ) Ever having competed for money in any athletic exercise. ( c ) Ever having competed under a false name in any athletic exercise. ( d ) Ever having knowingly competed with a professional for a prize, or where gate money is charged, in any athletic exercise. x 3 14 ( e ) Ever having taught or pursued as a means of livelihood any athletic exercise. ( f ) Ever having directly or indirectly accepted or received re- muneration for engaging in any athletic exercise. An athlete shall hereafter forfeit his right to compete as an amateur, and shall thereby become a professional, if, at any time, he shall — (a) Directly or indirectly receive payment for training or coaching any other person in any athletic exercise. ( b ) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services per- sonally rendered in teaching any athletic exercise. (c) Directly or indirectly receive payment for services ren- dered as Referee, Judge, Umpire, Scorer, Manager, Director, or in any other capacity at any professional or amateur exhibition or contest of any athletic exercise whatsoever. Note. — Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the ac- ceptance by any amateur of his necessary traveling expenses in- curred as Referee, Judge, Umpire, Scorer, or Starter, in going to and from the place of any amateur contest. Directly or indirectly run, manage or direct, for prospective profit, any professional exhibition or contest. An amateur shall not forfeit his right to compete as an ama- teur, and shall not become a professional, by — (a) Receiving compensation for services rendered as ticket- taker or ticket-seller at any contest or exhibition of amateur ath- letics. ( b ) Receiving compensation for services personally rendered as Secretary, Treasurer, Manager, or Superintendent of any ama- teur athletic club. ( c ) Receiving compensation as editor, correspondent, or re- porter of, or contributor to, any sporting, athletic, or other paper or periodical. ( d ) Running, managing, or directing, for prospective profit, any sporting, athletic, or other paper or periodical. ( e ) Receiving compensation for services personally rendered as official handicapper, under the direction and authority of any amateur athletic association. i5 (/) Receiving from a club of which he shall be a member the amount of his expenses necessarily incurred in traveling to and from the place of any amateur contest. ( g ) Nothing in this rule shall be construed so as to consider a man a professional who has played on a college team against a professional. RULE III. FOUR- YEAR LIMIT. A person shall be allowed to compete in four Championship Meets, and no more. .... RULE IV. RESIDENCE. No person shall be allowed to compete at the Championship Games as the representative of different members of the Asso- ciation in immediately successive years unless he shall have taken a Bachelor’s degree in the meantime. (For example, an under- graduate who has competed as the representative of a certain member of the Association at the Championship Games of 1898 shall not be permitted to appear as the representative of any other member of the Association before the games of 1900, and then only if he shall not have competed at the Games of 1899 except as provided above.) RULE V. STUDENT QUALIFICATIONS. Section i. No person shall be allowed to compete at the Championship Games who has not been a student in good and regular standing at the college or university he represents since the 15th of the preceding January. Except that students who are absent by reason of sickness shall not be rendered ineligible by reason of such absence. In case a competitor’s qualifications as to such regular attendance are questioned, he shall file with the Secretary-Treasurer, as directed in Article II. of the By-Laws, a certificate signed by three members of the faculty of the college or university he represents, stating that he regularly performs i6 university work amounting to at least eight hours a week, and has done so since the 15th of the preceding January; and such certificate shall be conclusive. Sec. 2. No student, graduate or undergraduate shall be allowed to compete at the Championship Games as the representative of an institution from which he receives compensation for regular instruction.

ATHLETIC RULES RULE I. OFFICIALS. Section i. All meetings must be under the direction of : The Graduate Executive Committee, One Referee, Two or more Inspectors, Three or more Field Judges, Three Judges at finish, Three or more Timekeepers, One Judge of Walking, One Starter, One Clerk of the Course, One Scorer, One Marshal. Sec. 2. If deemed necessary, assistants may be provided for the Judge of Walking, the Clerk of the Course, the Scorer and the Marshal, and an Official Announcer may be appointed. RULE II. THE GRADUATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE in all meetings must be constituted, have the jurisdiction and perform the duties as prescribed in the Constitution and By-Laws of the Association. This Committee shall have jurisdiction of all matters not as- signed by these rules to the Referee or other games officials. RULE III. THE REFEREE must decide all questions relating to the actual conduct of the meeting, whose final settlement is not otherwise covered by these rules. 20 He alone must have the power to change the order of events as laid down in the official programme, and to add to or to alter the announced arrangement of heats in any event. A Referee has no authority, after heats have been drawn and published in a pro- gramme, to transfer a contestant from one heat to another. When in any but the final heat of a race a claim of foul or in- terference is made, he shall have the power to disqualify the com- petitor who was at fault, if he considers the foul intentional, and shall also have the power to allow the hindered competitor to start in the next round of heats, just as if he had been placed in his trial. When in a final heat a claim of foul or interference is made he shall have the power to disqualify the competitor who was at fault, if he considers the foul intentional, or due to his careless- ness or conduct, and he shall also have the power to order a new race between such of the competitors as he thinks entitled to such a privilege. If, during any athletic contest under the rules of the W. I. A. A. A., a competitor shall conduct himself in a manner unbecom- ing a gentleman or offensive to the officials, spectators or com- petitors, the Referee shall have the power to disqualify him from further competition at the meeting; and if he thinks the offense worthy of additional punishment, must promptly make a detailed statement of the facts to the Graduate Executive Committee of the Association. RULE IV. THE INSPECTORS. It shall be the duty of an Inspector to stand at such point as the Referee may designate; to watch the competition closely, and in case of a claim of foul to report to the Referee what he saw of the incident. Such Inspectors are merely assistants to the Referee, to whom they must report, and have no power to make any decision. RULE V. THE JUDGES AT FINISH must determine the order of finishing of contestants, and must arrange among themselves as to noting the winner, second, third, fourth, etc., as the case may require, and there must always be two judges whose duty must be to choose the winner. Their decision in this respect must be without appeal, and in case of disagreement a majority must govern. RULE VI. THE FIELD JUDGES must make an accurate measurement and keep a tally of all trials of competitors in the high and broad jumps, the pole-vaults, and the weight competitions. They must act as judges in these events, and their decisions must likewise be without appeal. In case of disagreement a ma- jority must govern. There must be at least three judges for every event. RULE VII. THE TIMEKEEPERS must be three in number and must individually time all events where time record is called for. At the conclusion of each heat each timekeeper must present his watch to the Referee for in- spection, and he must decide the official time. Should two of three watches mark the same time and the third disagree, the time marked by said two watches must be accepted. Should all three disagree, the time marked by the intermediate watch must be accepted. The Flash of the pistol must denote the actual time of starting. If, for any reason, only two watches are held on an event, and they fail to agree, the longer time of the two must be accepted. Note . — For record, however, three watches must be held on an event. RULE VIII. THE STARTER must have sole jurisdiction over the competitors after the Clerk of the Course has properly placed them in their positions for the start. 22 The method of starting must be by pistol report, except that in time handicap races the word “go” must be used. An actual start must not be effected until the pistol has been purposely discharged after the competitors have been warned to get ready. In case the pistol was not purposely discharged the competi- tors shall be called back by the starter by pistol fire. (Note. — The starter must have at least two good cartridges in his pistol before starting a heat.) When any part of the person of a competitor touches the ground in front of his mark before the starting signal is given, it must be considered a false start. Penalties for false starting must be inflicted by the Starter, as follows : In all races up to and including 125 yards the competitor must be put back one yard for the first and another yard for the sec- ond attempt; in races over 125 yards and including 300 yards, two yards for the first and two more for the second attempt; in races over 300 yards and including 600 yards, three yards for the first and three more for the second attempt; in races over 600 yards and including 1,000 yards, four yards for the first and four more for the second attempt; in races over 1,000 yards and in- cluding one mile, five yards for the first and five more for the second attempt; in all races over one mile, ten yards for the first and ten more for the second attempt. In all cases the third false start must prevent his competing in that event. The Starter must rule out of that event any competitor who attempts to advance himself from his mark, as prescribed in the official programme, after he has given the warning to “get ready.” RULE IX. THE CLERK OF THE COURSE must be provided with the names and the numbers of all entered competitors, and he must notify them to appear at the starting line before the start in each event in which they are entered. 23 RULE X. THE JUDGE OF WALKING must have sole power to determine the fairness or unfairness of walking, and his rulings thereon must be final and without appeal. He must caution any competitor whenever walking unfairly ; the third caution to disqualify, except that he must immediately disqualify any competitor when walking unfairly during the last 220 yards of a race. He must control his assistants, and assign to them such of his duties as he may deem proper. RULE XI. THE SCORER must record the order in which each competitor finishes his event, together with the time furnished by the Referee. He must keep a tally of the laps made by each competitor in races covering more than one lap, and must announce by means of a bell or otherwise when the leading man enters the last lap. He must draw up a list of the actual competitors in each event, which shall be filed with the papers of the Association, and shall be the official record of competing entrants, and shall be final evidence in the enforcement of Rule III. of the Rules of Eligi- bility. He must control his assistants, and assign to them such of his duties as he may deem proper. RULE XII. THE MARSHAL must have full police charge of the enclosure, and must prevent any but officials and actual competitors from entering or remain- ing therein. He must control his assistants, and assign to them their duties. RULE XIII. THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCER must receive from the Scorer and Field Judges the result of each event, and announce the same by voice, or by means of a bulletin board. 24 RULE XIV. COMPETITORS must report to the Clerk of the Course immediately upon their arrival at the place of meeting, and must be provided by that official with their proper numbers, whidh must be worn conspicu- ously by the competitors when competing, and without which they must not be allowed to start. Each competitor must inform himself of the time of starting, and must be promptly at the starting point of each competition in which he is entered, and there report to the Clerk of the Course. Under no conditions shall any attendants be allowed to accom- pany competitors at the start or during any competition. RULE XV. TRACK MEASUREMENT. All distances run or walked must be measured upon a line eighteen inches outward from the inner edge of the track, except that in races on straightaway tracks the distance must be meas- ured in a direct line from the starting mark to the finishing line. RULE XVI. THE COURSE. Each competitor must keep in his respective position from start to finish in all races on straightaway tracks, and in all races on tracks with one or more turns he must not cross to the inner edge of the track, except when he is at least six feet in advance of his nearest competitor. After turning the last corner into the straight in any race, each competitor must run a straight course to the finish line, and must not cross to either the outside or inside from juch straight course. In all championship races of the W. I. A. A. A. up to and in- cluding 220 yards, each competitor must have a separate course marked out and measured, whether races are run straightaway or with turns. The Referee must disqualify from that event any competitor who wilfully pushes against, impedes,, crosses the course of, or in any way interferes with another competitor. 25 The Referee must disqualify from further participation in the games any contestant competing to lose, to coach, or to in any way impede the chances of another competitor either in a trial or final contest. RULE XVII. THE FINISH of the course must be represented by a line between two finishing posts, drawn across and at right angles to the sides of the track, and three feet above which line must be placed a tape attached at either end to the finishing posts. A finish must be counted when any part of the winner’s body, except his hands or arms, touches the tape at the finish line. The tape must be considered the fin- ishing line for the winner, but their order of finishing across the track line must determine the positions of the other competitors. RULE XVIII. HURDLES. In the 120 yards hurdle race ten hurdles must be used, each hurdle to be three feet six inches high. They must be placed ten yards apart, with the first hurdle fifteen yards distant from the starting point, and the last hurdle fifteen yards before the finish- ing line. In the 220 yards hurdle race ten hurdles must be used, each hurdle to be two feet six inches high. They must be placed twenty yards apart, with the first hurdle twenty yards distant from the starting mark, and the last hurdle twenty yards before the finishing line. In making a record it must be necessary for the competitor to jump every hurdle in its proper position. In all championship hurdle races of the W. I. A. A. A., up to and including 220 yards, each competitor must have a separate course and hurdles marked out and measured, whether races are run straightaway or with turns. RULE XIX. JUMPING. Section 1. A fair jump must be one that is made without the 2b assistance of weights, diving, somersaults, or handsprings of any kind. In scratch events competitors must jump in order as placed on the programme. Sec. 2. The Running High Jump. The Field Judges must de- cide the height at which the jump shall commence, and must regulate the succeeding elevations. Each competitor must be allowed three trial jumps at each height, and if on the third trial he shall fail he must be declared out of the competition. Competitors must jump in order, as provided in Section i, then those failing, if any, must have their second trial jump in a like order, after which those having failed twice must make their third trial jump. The jump must be made over a bar resting on pins projecting not more than three inches from the uprights, and when this bar is removed from its place by the competitor then trying it must be counted as a trial jump. Running under the bar in making an attempt to jump must be counted as a “balk,” and three successive “balks” must be counted as a trial jump. The distance of the run before the jump must be unlimited. A competitor may decline to jump at any height in his turn, and by so doing forfeits his right to again jump at the height declined. Sec. 4. The Running Broad Jump. When jumped on earth a joist five inches wide must be sunk flush with it. The outer edge of this joist must be called the scratch line, and the measurement of all jumps must be made from it at right angles to the nearest break in the ground made by any part of the person of the com- petitor. In front of the scratch line the ground must be removed to the depth of three and the width of twelve inches outward. A foul jump must be one where the competitor, in jumping off the scratch line, makes a mark on the ground immediately in front of it, or runs over the line without jumping, and must count as a trial jump without result. Each competitor must have three trial jumps, and the best three must each have three more trial jumps. 27 The competition must be decided by the best of all the trial jumps of the competitors. The distance of the run before the scratch line must be un- limited. Sec. 5. The Pole Vault. Poles must be furnished by the club giving the games, but contestants may use their private poles if they so desire, and no contestant shall be allowed to use any of these private poles except by the consent of their owners. The poles must be unlimited as to size and weight, but must have no assisting devices, except that they may be wrapped or covered with any substance (to obtain a firmer grasp), and must have but one prong at the end. No competitor shall, during his vault, raise the hand which was uppermost when he left the ground to a higher point of the pole, nor shall he raise the hand which was undermost when he left the ground to any point on the pole above the other hand. The rules governing the Running High Jump must also govern the Pole Vault for height, except that when the man leaves the ground in an attempt , it shall be counted a trial. RULE XX. PUTTING THE SHOT. The shot must be a solid sphere made of metal, and must weigh 16 lbs. It must be put with one hand, and in making the attempt it must be above and not behind the shoulder. The competitor must stand in a circle seven Ret in diameter. The circumference of this circle must be divided into two halves by a line drawn through it. On four feet of the front half of the circumference a board four inches high must be placed, the ends of which must be equally distant from the intersection of this line with the circumference, and at which the competitor may stand when the shot leaves his hand. A fair put shall be one where no part of the person of the com- petitor touches in front of the circle, or on the board, in making the attempt. A put must be counted as foul if the competitor steps over the front half of the circle or on the board. A competitor must leave the circle by the rear half. Leaving by the front half must be declared a foul put. The measurement of all puts must be made from the nearest mark made by the shot to a point on the circumference of the circle, on a line with the object mark and the centre of the circle. Foul puts and letting go the shot in making an attempt must be counted as trial puts without result. A board similar to the one in front may be used at the back of the circle. The order of competing and number of trials shall be the same as for the Running Broad Jump. Shots must be furnished by the Graduate Executive Committee. Any contestant may use his private shot, if correct in weight and shape; in which case the other contestants must also be allowed to use it if they wish. RULE XXI. THROWING THE HAMMER. The head and handle may be of any size, shape and material, provided that the length of the complete implement must not be more than four feet and its weight not less than 16 lbs. All throws shall be made from a circle seven feet in diameter, and this circle shall be considered as divided into two 1 halves by a line drawn through its centre at right angles to the direction of the throw. A fair throw must be one where no part of the person of the competitor shall touch outside or on the circle in making the at- tempt. Foul throws and letting go of the hammer in an attempt must count as trial throws. The measurement of all throws must be made from the nearest mark made by the head of the hammer to a point on the circum- ference of the circle, on a line with the object mark and the centre of the circle. The order of competing and number of trials must be the same as for the Running Broad Jump. Hammers must be furnished by the Graduate Executive Committee. Any contestant may use 2 9 his private hammer, if correct in weight and length, and no con- testant shall be allowed to use these private hammers except by consent of the owner. RULE XXII. THROWING THE DISCUS. The discus shall be made of smooth , hard wood body, without finger-holes , weighted in centre with lead discs and capped with polished brass discs, with steel ring on the outside. The weight of the discus shall be four and one-half (4^) pounds; outside diameter, eight (8) inches ; thickness in centre, two (2) inches. All throws shall be made fromr a seven (7) foot circle, with four-foot step-hoard, and similar in all respects to the circle for putting the shot. In making his throws a competitor may as- sume any position he chooses. Foul throws and letting go the discus in attempts shall count as trials without result. A fair throw shall be one in which no part of the person of the competi- tor touches the ground outside the front half of the circle, and the competitor leaves the circle by its rear half. A throw shall be foul if any part of the person touches the ground outside the front half of the circle before the throw is measured. A discus shall be furnished by the Graduate Executive Com- mittee. Any contestant may use his private discus, if correct in weight and shape, in which case the other contestants must also be allowed to use it if they wish. The measurement of each throw shall be made from the near- est mark made by the fall of the discus to the circumference of the circle on a line from the mark made by the discus to the centre of the circle. RULE XXIII. BICYCLING. The drawing for position in each event shall be done by the Graduate Executive Committee, and the positions of the men shall appear on the programme. When two or more riders make a dead heat of any final or a dead heat for second or third place, they may decide by lot who shall take the place, or may again vide the distance, at the discretion of the Referee. 30 All starts shall be from the inside of the track and from a stand-still, with the left hand toward the curb, and the machines shall be held in position by an attendant (the front wheel touch- ing the starting line) until the signal is given by the Starter. Attendants, when pushing off competitors, must keep behind the mark from which the competitors actually start. Should any part of the attendant touch the track in front of the mark, the competitor may be disqualified. The finish of all races shall be judged by the first part of the front wheel which touches the tape fastened flat on the ground at the winning post. Riders shall pass on the outside (unless the man passed be dis- mounted), and must be at least a clear length of the cycle in front before taking the inside; but on entering the homestretch in the last lap of a race, the foremost rider or riders must keep to that part of the track first selected, or be liable to disqualification ; and the hindmost rider or riders, when there is sufficient room to pass on the inside or anywhere on the homestretch without in- terfering with others, shall be allowed to do so, and any rider interfering to prevent him or them from so passing, shall be dis- qualified. If a rider, in attempting to pass another on the home- stretch, should at any time cross or swerve so as to impede the progress of another rider, he shall be disqualified. A rider shall not change from the inner to the outside of the track during any part of a race when another rider is so near that in altering his position he interferes with or impedes the progress of the rider. No rider shall touch another. In any race wherein there shall be a violation of these restrictions, the offending rider shall be dis- qualified and debarred from any place or prize.

NEW YORK AND CHICAGO Spalding's Special SPALDING’S BOXING GLOVES •PATENTED No. 120 "THE “CLUB” BOXING GLOVES nre made after the same general design as our “ Championship ” glove, with the addition of an entirely new idea (which has been patented and is controlled by us) for the protection' of the thumb, consisting of an open pocket in the end of the ‘glove where the thumb naturally rests when the hand is closed in the glove, thus giving absolute protection to the thumb when boxing. The wrists are padded, and the glove is made in such a way that a per- fect pad for the heel of the hand is provided. Each glove has the celebrated Graham grip. The leather is very fine and of supeiior quality. The filling is of the best curled hair obtainable and the workmanship of the highest grade. We commend this glove as one that can be used without any chance of injury to the thumbs, hands or wrists. Each glove is thoroughly examined, and they are packed one set of four gloves in a box.
