ATHLETIC STARS
 10 ATTEND MEET. NINE TEAMS ENTERED
FIELD DAY HERE APRIL 15 PROMISES TO BE AN IN
 TERESTING EVENT.

Receiving notice today of the entry of the Little Rock '. M. C. A. Athletic Club, with a number of Arkansas most famous athletes, President 0. D. 1Ongstreth was strengthened in his conviction that the Central Arkansas field meet to be held in this city Sat urday, April 15, will be one of the most interesting events of the kind ever held in the state. Among the en- tries from the Little Rock Y. M C. A are Nolan Blass. who achieved a repu- tation in athletics at Cornell Jniver- sity; Sibley Ward, for two years the individual champion of the Arkansas Athletic Association; F. Letzig, two years the states champion pole vaul- ter; E. Rossner, regarded as the best allround gymnast in Little Rock; w. Jost, winner of the indoor tournament at Little Rock last night; J. P Gui- non, E. Newham, K. Brockman and c. Mueller, all well known athletes in the capital city.
 The presence of these stars, howev- CT, will not discourage the smaller schools entering the various events, as no general prizes will be offered, but the local schools will present Q golo medal to the individual making the best record for each school entering. Every entry will therefore contest for honors with his own schoolmates, and will have the advantage of securing splendid results from practice with and observation of the states leading field and track men, which will be of great value to them in the state meet at Little Rock April 28 and 29.
 Besides the Y. M. C. A. team eight schools have entered the field meet at Conway They are Hendrix college, with 30 men; State Normal, with 15 men; Little Rock High, with 12 men Conway High, with 12 men; Russell vile, Morrilton, Plumerville and Springfield high schools, with six to eight men each.
 The events will occur on the fair grounds, beginning at o'clock in the afternoon. In the forenoon Dardan- elle high school will play the State Normal girls basketball team at II o'clock. The days program will end with an entertainment by the Rooney Brothers at 8 o'clock p. m., under the auspices of the combined lyceum course.
 MT. Longstreth is also much elated OveF' the prospects of the state field meet. which, he states. will undoubt- ed]v te much more largely attended tNsn ever before in it's history. Al tHoUgh the date for closing entries los not yet arrived, over 50 schools in tte state have already signifed their intention of participating in the events.
