IN |NTERSCHOLASTIC
IS NOW ASSURED
Ann Arbor Trembled for Her Annual
Event for a While, But Now
Breathes Easier.

ANN ARBOR, Mich, May H.
Michigan will be the scene of the In
terscholastic meet despite all OF the
comments that have been made
against holding the meet at Ann Ar
Dor. Interscholastic Manager Jack
Lyman announced today that he had
already over lao entrants In the meet
and that there are still several
schools that have signified their In
tentions Of entering the contest but
have not yet sent in entries.
After the action taken by the
schoolmasters at their meeting In
Ann Arbor, the prospects for the
meet were very dark. II was felt in
Ann Arbor sporting circles that the
contest could not be held here this
year because there would not be
enough schools willing to compete,
to insure giving It. However, since
the attitude of the prep-schools has
changed and the entries are coming
In, the meet bids fair to be one Of
the best that Ferry field has ever
Witnessed In last years meet there
were but 100 entries, and the meet is
still a week away.
=. Detroit Central, Detroit Eastern,
Grand Rapids, Muskegon, Saginaw and
Toledo high are the larger schools
that have sent entries and Kalamazoo
and Battle Creek have sent word that
they too will be represented. In addi-
tion there are always a number OF
smaller schools that enter one or two
men.
Manager Lyman made trip through
the state recently and he was told BY
some OF the members Of the faculties
Of the schools and also by members
of the Schoolmasters' club that the
sentiment against Ann Arbor was due
to the happenings at the time OF last
years meet, when several OF the Prep
school athletes found 1t impossible
to hit the pace led by the college men,
and not to the eligibility rules as was
at first rumored.
Lyman assured the professors that
no such occurrences would be repeat
ed this year and that only competent
upper class men would be In charge
OF the youngsters.
