MANY
ENTRIES FOR The
COLLEGE MEET

special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
NEWARK. Del. Jan 2S. Candi-
dates for the Delaware Collegt track
and field team will be asked to re-
port for gymnasium work early next
month. Now that the college has a
track second to none in the country,
there is every reason to believe that
this class of sports will become more
popular than it ever has been at
Delaware. The Old Gold and Blue
teams have been handicapped in the
past by the lack Of suitable place
to train and also a lack Of interest
in track and field events.
AS there are indications that an
unusually large number Of candi-
dates viii be out, Coach McAvoy and
Archie Dean, the manager and cap
tain of the track team, are anxious
that the work start early so that
the mon can get in good condition.
While the first work will be inside
yet the candidates will be taken out
as soon as the weather permits. The
freshmen class contains some prom
Using material and Delaware expects
TO have n fast relay team for the
meet at Franklin Field in April.
Much work is being done already
relative to arranging for the big In
terscholastic meet to be held on
Frazer Field May Is. II is hoped
that every high school in the State
Will be represented at the meet
It Will be an intercollegiate and
lnterscholastic Track and Field
Meet. Silver loving cups will be pre-
sented to the schools scoring the
greatest number of points in their
respective classes. and appropriate
medals will be awarded 10 the indi-
vlduals making first, second or third
places in the various events. Two
classes of events will be offered in
addition to the dual meet between
DrcNel Institute of Philadelphia and
Delaware College.
