The national interest which is mani

results of the tryouts scheduled for San

and at the Harvard Stadium, Cam

While many athletes will be on the
anxious seat over the prospect of max

by those who will be knocking at the
door, but who will just lack the class
which makes an Olympic performer.

MARYLAND TRACK OFFERS
GOOD EVENTS THIS WEEK

versity of Kentucky, and Delaware Col
lege. at the University of Pennsyl-
vania meet Gallaudet coming out a
close second, just a few feet behind the
winners, st. Johns, which had a good
start, and steady, experienced quarter
milers. Captain Battiste, Farquhar,
Moore, and Ellsworth are now proud
possessors of silver loving cups Gal
laudet brought home as trophies of the
Quaker race.
The Indian leader again ran a most
sensational race, which made him
feared most by the college competing
against Gallaudet. With ST. Johns and
Muhlenberg ahead in the last relay lap
and the Maryland Aggies pressing Gal
laudet, Battiste started his relay with
determination to cut down the lead re-
gardless OF the heavy, muddy track
which handicapped greatly his peculiar
way of running. By beautiful sprint
he outdistanced the College Park lad,
overlook the veteran Muhlenberg quar-
ter-miler, and cut down st. Johns big
lead to a mere few feet at the finish.
Much excitement was furnished by
st. Johns. Gallaudet, Muhlenberg. and
Maryland Aggies, the teams finishing
in the order named. The rest of the
above list were hopelessly outclass.
After the race the Gallaudet team
was royalty entertained by the alumni
and friends of Philadelphia, where they
stayed until last night. Manager Gard
ner states that he hopes to enter Gal
laudet at the Johns Hopkins meet on
May 1.
