J. c. Batten Appointed Man.
ager-Work Under Way
to Bring Many Men Here

it has been decided by those in charge
Of arrangements to substitute q two
mile run for the fifty-yard dash. The
latter Is obsolete in all athletic on
tests and the two-mile run is consid-
cred I standard event in high school
and college meets. Before making
this substitution final. however, the
various schools over tho state will
have an opportunity to vote on the
matter. The %tifty-yard dash will be
done away with and the schools will
have the chance tn accept either the
tMto-milc run or the javclin throw.
This latter event is also becoming
very popular in many sections OF the
country and Is more desirable because
it is not as strenuous as the long dis
tancE III and takes very little train
ing. Ii the javelin throw is added to
the list Of events the smaller schools
will have as good a chance to win
that event as the larger mes.
Another important matter which
will be voted upon by the various
schools in the state is the question Of
making II meet an interstate affair

TO send representatives hero. In case
the majority Of schools wish the other
states To he admitted an interstate
banner as well as medals will be pro-
Nidcti and also q state banner will he
given 10 the North Dakota school win
ming the greatest number Of points.
