Joint Meeting Now Being Arranged
VIII Be Success.
The success of the Inter-High School
field day, to be held at Van Ness Park Mo-
yen,ber 90, is assured. Although the en-
tries do not close until November 10, the
events are being rapidly filled.
This afternoon there were more than sixty
entries In the several schools. A majority
of the competitors so far is from the Central
School, but the lists at the Eastern, Busi-
ness and Western will no doubt soon be full
1t is believed by those having charge of ar
rangements that the total number will
finally exceed seventy-five.
There is already considerable talk as to
the probable winners. There have not been
any High School games of this sort held
for several years, and it is hard to pick out
the hest men. There are a number Of fast
runners in the several schools, however.
and it is predicted that If the weather is
favorable there will he n number OF High
School records sma shed.
First piac ce will count five points, second
three points, and third one point, and the
school receiving the highest number of
points will be known as champion of the
High School Athletics Association,
The double attraction of athletic games
and n football game between the teams OF
the Eastern and Central in the champion
ship series, both for one price of admission,
it is thought, will dra " big crowd.
