FOR
PENTATHLON
CLOSE TODAY

OAO - - - ~ ~
The athI,rrs Of the Y NJ e. 4 are
ready for the annual pentathI0n meet
which will tax" place in the gymna-
stun Saturday evening" The entries
for this meet will close TINS evening
and anyone wishing to take part in
the five events should not delay in
handing in their names. Much inter
est is being aroused among the men
who have signed up for the meet and
no little speculation as to who will be
able to score the highest. The men
are all busily engaged in praCtiCing
fer the contest and doubtless there
will be record or two hung up.
The senior members Of the "Y"
have been encouraged this year in en-
tering the meet due to the fact that
the fellows from the schools will
have their scores kept separately. In
this way the average senior will have
a chance OF winning There will be
much hot rivalry between the men
and there is every possibility of a
close competition which the public
should not fail to witness. In last
years meet three students punched
for first place and it was doubtful who
wCnld be winner up to the last event
Had the students been scored separ-
ately, l.. c. Clark would have taken
first hOnors with Milenback, Raseman
zap and Meinecke close on his
heels. This year it is expected that
the scores will be still closer
The men have been spending more
time in practice and are taking con-
siderable more interest in the events,
so there is no doubt but that last
years records will be smashed. Only
two of the events which we're on the
program last year will be the same,
these being the running high jump
and the S8Oyard run. the ether three
will be the 22O-yard dash in place of
the 100-yard Of last year, the stand
ing broad jump in place of the hop,
step and jump, and the 12-pOund shot
put in place of the 16-pOund shot The
events are so arranged that there will
be very little physical strain upon an
individual which should be still
greater inducement for men to get
into this interesting athletic meet.
