Track and Field Meet Of Graded
Schools to Be Held May %.

Interest in athletics in the high and
graded schools is centered in series
of track and field meets in which
teams of the high school will soon par
ticipate and in the annual field and
track meet Of the graded schools, the
date for which has just been set. Be-
ginning with Saturday the high school
field and track team will participate
in three meets, the last Of which will
be the state high school meet to be
held in Des Moines Friday and Satur-
day, May q and %.
Cornell Meet May 8.
Saturday the team goes to Ames
for triangular meet with Ames and
Boone high schools. A team Of prob
ably fifteen men will be taken to Ames,
as the triangular event will be for the
local team a preliminary Cor the Cor
nell College invitation meet to be held
at Mount Vernon Saturday, May s. A
team Of nine oreten will make the trip.
The team that will go to Ames will
be weakened owing to two of the local
performers having been disqualified
because they are down in their studies.
This meet has become one Of the fixed
athletic events in which the local
school is interested. Marshalltown
and Ames have always participated in
it, but the third team has not always
been the same. Grinnell high school
furnished the third team last year.
Team Will Be Small.
The team that Is to be taken to the
state high school meet will be small
probably not more :han six or seven
men. The competition is very keen.
and all the fields are exceedingly fast
at this meet, which makes it useless to
take a large team Of fair or moderate
ly good performers. because they have
no chance. The first day Of the meet is
Friday, which makes it difficult to
take large team because the pupils
must be excused for all day.
Graded Meet May %.

schools Of the city will be held Friday,
May 20, at the fair grounds. Beginning
with Saturday the preliminary trials
