GENERAL ATHLETICS
(Advisers – J. E. Sullivan, secretary of Amateur Athletic Union; Dr. Luther H. Gulick of Russell Sage Foundation, New York.)
Those under 10 are children; those over 10 and under 16 are boys; those over 16 and under 18 are lads; those over 18 are men.
Girls take the standards according to their ages up to 18, but for athletics are never over that. No matter what their age, thenceforth they continue in the "lad class", and in filing the claim need only mention their class.
Men over 70 return to the lad class.
The records are given according to Spalding's Almanac, where will be found the names of those who made them, with date and place.
A dash ( – ) means "not open".
