 MARCH f9.

Programme of Athletics Will be Fol-
 lowed by Dance---Names of Com
 mittee in Charge.
 The First Division, Naval Reserves, will hold their third annual indoor athletic meet March 19, at the Second Regiment armory.
 The carnival promises to be the best ever attempted by the local tars, and already entries are pouring in from all over the state. All entries must be in by next Thursday. The meet is open to all members of the Connecticut Nation- al Guard, to Yale athletes, and in addi- ton to these there will be an inter- scholastic event and Yale and Wesley an will clash in a forty-yard handicap dash, and the freshmen, of these respec- tive colleges will come together in a mile relay race. In all team events two substitutes will be allowed to compete.
 At no little expense the Naval Re- serves will erect a banked track with fourteen laps to mile, and no compe- titor will be allowed to wear spiked shoes.
 To make the affair more attractive a concert will be given by the Second Regiment band after the meet is fin- ished, and a dance will follow. The concert and dance will appeal to those whose love for athletics alone is not sufficient to draw them to the armory, and the executive committee is making preparations to handle the largest crowd that has ever attended any of the Naval Reserves meets. Tempora- ry bleachers will be erected around the track, and it is thought that no difficul- ty will be encountered in comfortably seating all the spectators. Numerous prizes will be distributed; beautiful gold, silver and bronze medals are to be given to the first, second and third in each event, and to winning teams will be presented handsome cups. A cup will be given to the Connecticut National Guard organization winning the greatest number of points. The games are strictly amateur and the best athletes of the state will be as semIbled on the night the carnival oc- CUTS. The committee in charge has not yet arranged the order of events, but expects to be able to announce all en- tries and the order the events will be run off not later than March F. There will be nine events in which i Yale men will compete, namely The forty five-yard dash, the high hurdles (hand-leap), forty -five-yard low hurdle (handicapl, high jump 66O yards and the two-mile relay race between Shelf field and Academic men, half-nile run (handicap), one thousand-yard run, forty-yard (handicap) dash between teams from Yale and Wesleyan, and a mile relap race between teams of Yale and Wesleyan freshmen. It Is expect- ed that a large number of Yale ath- letes will enter in the numerous events open to them.
 The two mile relay race between Shelf. and Academic teams, and the forty-yards dash between Yale and Wesleyan should prove the most exci- ting.
 There will be ten contestants in which members of the Connecticut Ma tional Guard may compete the forty yards dash, wall sealing (teams of eight men each), obstacle race (nclud- ing sack, half-mile novice race, mile relay, first, second and third division, (teams of four men each, every man to run one-quarter mile) ESQ., yards run, tug-of-war, first and second divisions Naval Battalion. Connecticut National Guard, (teams of four men each), one- mile run, 44O-yards run and a mile re- lay (open to all Connecticut National Guard companies excepting Naval Bat talions),
 Of these the one-half mile novice, the one-half mile, the wall sealing contest and the two one-mile relays should be especially good.
 Tn the half-mile novice number of promising men will have their first ex- perience, and the race should be hotly contested as it is reported that numer- ous entries will be sent in for this event.
 In the wall sealing match the Hart ford and New Haven tars will clash, and as there is considerable rivalry be- tween these two organizations regard ing athletic powers, there is bound to be something doing.
 Bridgeport is expected to enter a dark horse in the one-haf mile run, and it is claimed that he is going to make things interesting for the other competitors.
 The two one-nile relay races will un- doubtedly prove close and interesting. In the interscholastic mile relay match, entries are looked for from Waterbury, Holyoke, Springfield, Hartford, Bridge port and New Haven preparatory schools, and New Haveners are bank ing their hopes on the local high school relay team, which won the in-
