Word was received by the relay man- agement yesterday from ‘W. 8. Bris- | towe, president of the Cambridge University A. C., that the British in- stitution would send a relay team and at least two men for the special events. One of the latfer probably will be a distanee runner for t mile internatiomal race, one features of the carnival. Mr, Bristowe stated that he had not definitely determined in which events his relay team would compete. He added, fHowevér, that the Cambridge * athletes would probably run on both days of the carnival. He gave no indi- cation of the probable makeup of the team. This will be the first time that Cam- bridge will have been represented by a full team at the relay carnival, al- though not the first tme that Cam- bridge athletes have competed.
