APPLETON, WIS., April Wausau
and Grand Rapids, with a possibility
of Stevens Point and Merrill win re-
present the Wisconsin river district
at the coming annual Northeastern
Wisconsin Interscholastic athletic
meet to be held under the auspices Of
Lawrence university on Saturday,
May 10th. Fifty schools in the north
eastern section of the state have been
invited to send teams to this meet and
more than one-half that number have
already replied saying that they would
be represented. 4 7s5e 1-sls.4
Because it was feared that the
athletic upheaval at the state univer-
sity would result in the abandonment
of the state 7interscholastic meet at
Madison, number Of schools not in
cluded in the area comprising the
northeastern section of the state have
asked the Lawrence management for
entrance to the Appleton meet. The
Lawrence authorities took the matter
under adviSement and today decided
not to enter any team except those al
ready invited. This action was taken
in order to keep out the teams not in,
this portion of the state and thereby
give greater opportunity of winning
the silver trophy to schools that have
participated in the meet for six years.
WauSau has won the cup twice and;
if the Wisconsin river team is again
victorious this year the trophy will be
carried away as personal property.
The "dope" man at Lawrence has not
as yet gained sufficient data on any of
the high school athletes to make Sc
lection of possible winners.
In view of the unqualified success
made by the Lawrence management
in the recent basketball tournament,
in which the Appleton institution
paid not only the guaranteed railroad
expenses to the visiting players but
also hotel bills and incidental expenses
there Is every assurance that the CON-
ing meet will be greater success this
year than ever before and there is good
ground for the prediction that Law
renee will be able to pay all Of the ex-
penses incurred by the visiting ath-1
letes. Railroad fare. is guaranteed.
The remaining funds will be equally
divided among the. participating
teams.
