U. OF MAINE ATHLETICS.
Track Team Busy With Plans for the
Spring Meets.

Orono, Me, March 13.-(SpcciaD D.-
An important business meeting Of the
executive committee of the Athletic
Association was held MOndoy evening
The first business to come up was the
final arrangements for the sending of
a relay team TO the University of
Pennsylvania relay meet. 1t was re-
ported that not quite enough funds
tad been subscribed to cover the ex-
pense of the trip but the committee
decided to send the team any way. This
meet will occur Saturday, April % at
Philadelphia.
On the following Saturday, May 5,
arrangements have practically been
completed for dual meet with Tufts
College. This meet will be held at
OrOno and take the place Of the usual
annual interclass meet.
Manager Williams has for sometime
been carrying on negotiations with the
Tufts management in view of dual
contest and his offer has been con-
sidered favorably. The power to act
is now in the hands of the ub-cOm-
Hittee on track who will doubtless
clinch the contract.
Efforts are being made in every di-
rection to further the training of the
track men in view of the NJ. I. A. A.
meet to be held in Lewiston, May -,
where four years ago Maine won her
first track victory.
Along with other business the COM
mittces on finance and grounds are
working on the question of q new
grand stand for the athletic field and
il is not unlikely that stand will be
built to accommodate 1000 to 1900 peo-
pie.
The members of the Somerset Coun-
ty Club at the university met Tuesday
and talked over the feasibility of
banquet during the Easter recess.

jCyable banquet was served at Fair
field. A large number of the alumni
are located in this part of the State
which will give large attendance at
reunion of students and graduates.
