Every competitor must wear complete clothing from the shoulder to the knees (i.e.r jersey sleeved 'O the elbows and loose drawers with slips), and in any event in which a water- jump is included the drawers and slips must be dark in colour. Any competitor will be- excluded from taking part in the Sports unless properly attired. A copy of this rule shnll be- placed in a conspicuous place in the Competitors' Dressing Room at every Athletic Meeting. Any competitor wilfully jostling or running across or obstructing another competitor so as to impede his progress shall forfeit his right to be in the competition, and shall not be awarded any position or prize that he would otherwise have been entitled to. livery competitor shall be supplied with and wear on back and front during competition a distinctive numbtr corresponding to his number in the programme. STATIONS. In level races the competitors shall ballot for their respective stations at the start, andi each competitor shall take the siation assigned to him by the ballot. No attendant shall accompany any competitor on the mark or in the race, nor shall any- competitor be allowed, without the permission of the Referee or Judges, to receive assistance- or refreshment from anyone during the progress of a race, but this rule does not apply to the- Marat non Race {40 kilometres). STARTING. All races shall be started by the report of a pistol, and a start shall only be made to the- actual report. All questions as to the starting of a race shall be in the absolute discretion of the Starter, whose descision shall be final. The Starter shall place the competitors on their respective marks in their respective, stations, and shall for this purpose have the assistance of such marksmen as may be. necessary. No competitor shall touch the ground in front of his mark with any part of his body. PROTESTS. , Objections and Protests shall be made in accordance with sections 13 and 14 of the General Regulations, which are as follows:—• " 13. Objections to the qualifications of a competitor must be made in writing to the- Secretary of the British Olympic Council at the earliest moment practicable. No such, objection shall be entertained after the lapse of one calendar month from the distribution of the prizes. Every objection shall be accompanied by a deposit of one pound (£1), and if upon investigation the objection shall appear to have been made upon no reasonable ground the deposit shall be forfeited. The British Olympic Council shall decide on every objection, after having heard the representative or representatives on the Honorary Committee (see Article 14) of the person making the objection. " 14. An Honorary Committee will be formed, consisting of three representatives from, each competing country, to be nominated by the Olympic Committee in that country. Special seats will be reserved for them, as for the members of the International Olympic Committee, at all contests and all festivities connected with the Olympiad, and they will be distinguished by a separate badge. [N.B.—In the case of competitors not represented on the Honorary Committee, the British Olympic Council will appoint three members to act on, behalf of such competitors.] " All protests to be made to the Officials managing any form of contest must be mader through a member or members of the Honorary Committee representing the country to which the competitor belongs who desires to make the said protest for transmission to the said Officials. " Any such protest must be made to the proper Official within half-an-hour of the: termination of the contest to which it relates." THE RUNNING HIGH JUMP. The Judges shall decide the height of the bar at starting, and at each successive- elevation. Each compel tor shall be allowed three jumps at each height. At each height- each competitor shall take one trial in order as on programme ; those failing shall have a. SourceB :bioilthèqued uC OI/OI CL birary second trial in similar order, after which those having failed twice shall make their third •trial. Crossing the scratch without displacing the bar shall not count as one jump. AH measurements shall be made from the ground to the centre of the bar. Neither diving nor somersaulting shall be permitted. THE STANDING HIGH JUMP. The feet of the competitor may be placed in any position, but shall leave the ground only •once in making an attempt to jump. When the feet are lifted from the ground twice, or two springs are made in making the attempt, it shall count as a trial jump without result. A competitor may rock forward and backward, lifting heels and toes alternately from the ground, but may not lift either foot clear from the ground or slide it along the ground in any -direction. With this exception the rules are similar to the Running High Jump. THE RUNNING BROAD JUMP.
