nounced last night BY Prof. Leslie Cleve-
land McNemar, of the department OF

etics.
Consideration now is being given to the
Arrangement Of a number OF additional
events, and these, more than likely, will
be embraced in the final schedule It is
quite probable that several additional

sequently il. is almost certain the official

than twenty-five events.

Atlantic intercollegiate championship:
one-mile relay, collegiate: private school

The schedule is interesting because of
the fact that it contains four events that
Will determine the South Atlantic inter
collegiate championship. The intrOduc-
ton of thek events was made possible
by George Washington University recent
" being adHlitted to the South Atlantic
intercollegiate Association. This step by
the university is regarded as one Of the
most important in the fight being waged
by the institution to regain the position
of athletic prestige which 1t once en-
joyed.
Have Various Requests.
Requests are coming to Prof. McNemar
from various organizations which hope to
enter the meet, asking that certain ad-
ditional events be included in the sched-
ule. These requests are being given
careful consideration by the officials OF
the George Washington University Ath-
letic Association and by those immedi-
ately in charge of the Convention Hall
affair.
with just about a month intervening
before the date OF the meet, those
charged with the responsibility of making
the affair a success. both financially and
otherwise. are working day and night
over innumerable details. The student
body of tn. university is enthusiastic
over the cd ling meet and will turn out
en- masse ID give the athletes that moral
and financi4 support which viii enable
the Hatcheutes to re-este bIish themselves
among the Iaurel-crowned OF sportdom.
The burden of preparing for the meet
is resting principally upon Prot. Nc
Nemar. who last year came to the sup
port of the student body when it seemed
that future participation in athletics
would be prohibited by. the university au-
thOrities, and who offered personally to
guarantee the success this year of ath-
etic undertakings at the institution.
