The athletic associations of the High
Schools recently sent delegates to the Cen
trail to perfect arrangements for the
coming field and track meet. The Cen
trail was represented by Messrs. Farrow
and Wilkins the Eastern by Messrs. Yonnt
and Kelly. the Business by Mr.. Amiss. and
the Western by Mr.. Taussig. Mr.. Farrow
was elected temporary chairman and Mr..
Wilkins secretary. The committee decided
tl.at the following events should be run off
at the meet: One hundred-yards run, 90
yards run. quarter-mile run, half-mile run.
one-mile run, 220-yard hurdles. running
high jump, running broad jump, pole vault.
putting twelve-pound shot, one-mile bicy-
Gle race and two-mile bicycle race.
The meet Is to be conducted according to
the intercollegiate rules, but the mark
ing of points will be under the interschol-
astic rules. Five points will be given to the
winner of each event. three points to the
second, and one to the third.
The Eastern, Western and Business dele
gates were in favor that the following be
made a rule: That the contestants shall
be students of their respective schools,
from the 1st of January, 1897 having pCr-
sued three major studies from that time
until date of meet, and that the contest
ants shall not be graduates of the fourth
year."
If this goes into effect, the Central will
lose the services of their best sprinter
Wade Jolly. a special student, who gradu-
ated last year from the fourth year, and
who easily won the 1O0-yard run in last
years games. The Central boys asked that
they have time to consider their position
more thoroughly, which was granted, and
the point went over to the next meeting
when it will be decided.
Mr.. Wilkins was directed to correspond
N Qrd
to the intercity meet to be held the first
week in June. and to draw up a list of
events which will be favorable to both.
