cured. but all colleges are so busy hold
ing their open and class meets that
was found quite impossible to secur
their attendance. But their absence Wi
be made up in fast, snappy competition
between the best local and Baltimore an
Philadelphia track and field men. and tn
prospects are that this will. be the bes
meet the association has ever held.
| Among the association members ther
Is number who look very promising
Richardson, Graham, and Shallenberge
are doing splendid work in the 100-yar
dash. The former will probably do tn
| fastest work in that event, as he has tn
experience and is going very near the i
second fiat, and that should be his fig
ure on meet day. He is strong enough
also to go the 220 yards in good time.
| In the 440 yards Kerr is covering th'
distance in best time, and should win th'
event. He moves we'll and does not lost
his head. A close competitor is Graham
who has shown marked improvement sine,
last year. He is moving in easy fashion
with plenty OF speed and always somt
strength in reserve, and with stride thai
has caused favorable comment. He Is one
of the most prominent quarter milers
hereabouts.

ber Of relay races. The school and club

track ard field sports by making entry
