ATTENTION SPECTAITORS,

As the crowds at the Springbank lnternational get larger year to year, it naturally be@mes a little more difficult for all spectators to get a clear, unobstructed view of the action. We feel, however, that on a course of this length there is no reason why everyone cannot get a good view. All it takes is some planning and common sense.

The secret, ot course, is SPREAD OUT. Obviously, if everyone in a crowd of 5,000or more gathers in the immediate area of the start-fioish line some people aren't going to get much of a vantage point.

SPRINGBANK COURSE

One lap of the 'new' course is 41 yards shorter than the previous one-lap distance. Thus, the actual distances of the three, six and 12-mile races are now 218, 436 and 872 yards short respectively. The 4%-mile course, which consists of a lull lap plus a half lap, is now 386 yards short. 16 ENTRlES.tzso pm HIGH SCxOOL BOyS' 3 mi. lor the lilunay ilcllie Truphy
