CLARKE AT CARLTON.—The world record breaking athlete, R. W. Clarke, donned football boots for the first time in six years when he trained with the Victorian Rugby League club, Carlton, earlier this month. However, he is not contemplating a switch from cinder tracks to football ovals. He trained with the Carlton under-19 players at the request of his former football coach, Mr T. Brooker. Clarke played with Essendon under-19 and reserves teams before concentrating on athletics. Clarke is shown above contesting possession with G. Vincent (left) and R. Kirkman (right).
