STATE ATHLETIC MEETING
THE BEST FIELD AND TRACK

De PRESENT - EARLHAM PICK

The Indiana College Athletic league
meet will be held on Reid field Satur.
day. on which the eyes Of all the ath-

turned. This Is one OF the most I'M.
portant meets held each year in Indi
ana, and is one d. the largest. That
the meet is to be held on Reid Field
this year means no little undertaking
for Earlham. There will be six Of
the big Indiana colleges represented
and the team scoring the largest mum
Der OF points will be considered the
state outdoor champion in track and
field athletics. The league is com.
posed OF Wabash, z Rose Polytechnic
Hanover, State Normal, Franklin col
lege and Earlham.
Eariham II Favorlte.
Up to the present the probable win
ner appears to be either Earlham or
Wabash, the former having the best
chance. considering the result of the
De Paw meet. held last Saturday.
Coach Vail and Prof. Graves, however.
will not let up on the training OF the
men as they recognize the representa-
tives of the yellow and white will not
have as easy time Saturday as they did
IN the dual meet with the Methodists.
It can be depended on that Earlham Is
to be reckoned with throughout the
meet.
The Wabash college team has for the
past two years been able to capture the
meet In 1907 they won without
much difficulty. but last year Earlham
gave them a run for their money and
1t was only after the hardest kind of
Z fight that the Little Giants landed
in first place. 1t is known that they
have lost several Of their best point
winners this year. while Earlham, her
nearest opponent, has all the old mel

Rose Poly Is not to be forgotten and
is regarded as being factor In the
race. Hanover and the state normal
