Inc last, but not least, OF IIle iOC'ti
indoor meets is to take place this week,
when the National Guard Athletic Asso-
ciatiOn holds their fourteenth annual
games. Considerable interest is being
taken in the militiamen's games by all
local athletes and followers of amateur
sport owing to the fact that it is to be
the initial affair of this kind held under
the ruling of the Amateur Athletic Fed
Grafton of the District. and many look
forward TO the outcome for success or
failure.
1t is not the idea of the guardsmen or
the federation officials TO buck the A

South Atlantic athletes have already
rendered their applications, and few
more are expected TO fall for the grand
prizes hung up for these events.

Tho meet will be n purely amateur
affair. and, of course. not sanctioned by
the A. 4. l.. but it is now up to the
South Atlantic branch to recognize the
ability of the District clubs and the
spirits Of the local athletes. The spirit
of the local athletes under the fedora
ton have already been shown i'll the
recent wrestling tournament held by the
guards, when thirty representatives from
four strongly organized clubs participant
received more than this mark for their
tourney. which will take place this week.
This speaks we'll for the District clubs
and officials y the federation, as only
eleven entries We're received for the
South Atlantic Wrestling Tourney, TO be
held IN Baltimore tomorrow night.
