|NTE RCLASS MEET
George Washington Students
on Van Ness Field.

The first annual interclass meet of the
students of George Washington University.
held yesterday afternoon at Van Ness
Park, resulted in a victory for the COM
bined classes of the medical and dental
school Law. 'O7, came second and Law,
'O6, was third. The managers of the at
fair were much encouraged by the show
ing made by all of the contestants,
and especially by the number of en-
tries. The most important feature of the
meet was the ruling of the judges which
combined the men of the medical and
dental schools as one class This ruling
was pronounced obnoxious by the law stu
dents, who claim that such a course is not
warranted and should not have been taken.
The members of Law, O7, say they think
seriously of fling a protest with the ath-
letic council of the university against the
award of the class cup to the adjudged
winners of the meet, but no definite steps
in this direction have as yet been taken.
The action of the judges is defended by
many of those interested in the contest
The dental course is three years and the
medical course four years. The first year
of the two courses is almost identical, and
this led the judges TO make their decision.
The attendance at the melting was not all
that could be desired by the managers Of
track athletics in the university, but, con-
sidering that this is the first year that this
particular branch has been given any con-
sideration at the institution, and the fact
that there was such good representa-
ton in the lists of contestants, the man
ayers feel much encouraged and look for
ward hopefully to a time, not far distant,
when George Washington University can
take its place among the front rank In
track athletics.

scented follow: Medical, oS, and Dental, OF
