DRAKE PREPARES FOR RELAY
University Of Michigan Is Thir-
teenth Entry in Highest Glass
of Big Athletic Meet.
FOURTEEN IN COLLEGE CLASS

DIES MONIES, March iL-(Speclal.)--
With the Drake relay carnival n few days
more than a month away the entries for
the different events arc almost all In the
hands OF John L. Griffith. head OF ath-
letics at the local school. The list OF
schools In the university event closed
when the official entry of the University
of Michigan was received. It Is the first
time the big Wolverine school has been
an attendant at the western classic and
their entry means that they will attempt
TO hold the place in western events that
they have held for several years In tho
eastern relay contests. Their entry also
means that every school in the entire
middle west which has even a presentable
relay team will be on the Drake stadium
April II to do battle for the western
title.
The teams which have made definite
entry in the university class arc;
Iowa state College Of Agriculture,
University OF Chicago. Chicago. III.
Drake university, Des Moines.
Iowa State university, Iowa city, Ia.
Illinois state university, CHAMPAGNE,
Illinois.
Kansas state university, Lawrence. Kan
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor,
Mich.
University of Minnesota. Minneapolis,
MINI.
Missouri State university. Columbia, Mo.
Northwestern university. Evanston, Ill.
University OF Nebraska, Lincoln.
University OF South Dakota, Vermll-
wisconsin state university. Madison,
Wis.
1t also Is possible that Notre Dame will
be present with some of the athletes Of
that school, men who have a national rep
utation as sprinters and runners. but who
have not been prominent in the relay
racing game, the combination OF indi-
Hidual speeo and team spirit.
College Entries.
The college class does not draw its
entries from as large an area as the uni
versity, five state being represented here
as against eight In the university class
and the preponderance of schools and
winners being more largely from Iowa.
Three new teams to the carnival will be
seen this year in Penn college and Iowa
Wesleyan from Iowa and Carleton from
Minnesota. Another. but not new team
viii be represented in the event, drinnell
deciding to cast its lot with the Iowa con-
ference schools as against the university
class. the change allowing II to use some
of its star freshmen. coe and Hamline
have been the big winners as individual
schools in the last two years. but 1t Is
probable that Grinnell will be IN the run
ming ip the half-mile and quarter-milo
events Yankton, Brookings and Knox
are certain TO be strong in the two-mile
as will Morningslde. while the Carleton
team is supposed to have a very good
class OF sprinters.
