well aware OF the fact that the Winfield
college has club that are not only wor
thy Of their steel, but, perhaps, a little
bit better equipped for the contest. The
Winfield boys have all been sized up
and compared with the Wichita boys
and they have not been found wanting
in appearance by any means. Never

are prepared to give them a touch Of

of the faces Of the girls of Wichita, the
colors Of their club, the honor Of their
school and the glory of their city TO be
able TO overcome the physical advan-

One Of the great features of the day
will be the bicycle riding of Maxwell,
the professional rider.
The mile run in 4:5G and the 100-yard
dash in ten seconds, which is half d
second better than the worlds record.
The High school people will be at
great expense in getting up this event
and it is hoped that all Wichita will
turn out to patronize hem and be ready
to yell.
