track and field games under the auspices
of the blue and grey and every indica-

So many crack sprlnters and distance
men have been entered from the big col
leges that it is hard to even guess which
will be the feature events-the short, rusty
dashes. or the longer and more bruising
endurance runs.
In the dashes, especially the 50-yard

this will include our own clever Duffy, the
