who were unabi@ to be present;
all of them expressing the inten-
ton of joining in the annual con-
test in athletics and oratory.
The date for the annual meet
was fixed for Saturday, April
20. The hammer-throw va S
eliminated from the events on
account Of The dang OF getting

however, and the short-put we're
retained. The same rules for
haudicapping the teams of larger
schools or stronger teams III the
Association were adopted as
those which governed last year.
These are as follows: ID 10 per
cent of points made shall be
allowed to all visiting teams. "

be allowed for every 10 miles or
major fraction thereof travelled.
l3) 1 per cent shall Le added to

a square deal to every school
tho probably making a disadvan

meet is held: this, however, i:
recognized as a valuable penalty
since the meet is held at tn
school which won the cup in tn

should be required to work hare
in it's defense.
Mr.. T. NJ. Biossat. of Lafay
