Every one, therefore, in Railsford's, could see, not only what he was going in for, but who the competitors were whom he was expected to beat.
A good beginning had already been made before the list came under the notice of the juniors.

For the High Jump, which this year, for some reason or other, had been looked forward to as one of the principal events, the signature of Barnworth stood boldly underneath the dreaded names of Smedley and Clipstone.

The entries for the Mile were scarcely less interesting.

Smedley was to run for the School, and, still more formidable, the long-legged Branscombe.
