trv at the South Atlantic quarter-mile

either Stanton or Martin to win the
Presidents trophy. which Is to be award
ed the individual athlete scoring the

The athletes who compete in the scho-
lastic standing broad jump and the three
standing hops IN the Federal games viii
have d chance to have their names in
gcribed in the athletic almanac in 1916
as record holders. In neither Of these
events is there at present any official

teur Athletic Union.

- ;plon: Horrax. of Johns Hopkins. former
intercollegiate high-jump champioTE Nor
ton, Of the same college. and Stratton

Low, Of Friends Select; Spransy. OF
Technical High: Archer Smith, OF Tome

There is as much interest in the same
event for grade-schOOl boys, and the rec

distance than those Of their older broth
ers. Mead, of Twining School; White anC
