tries, and that the competition should
be excellent, because there are much
better men booked to take part than

South Atlantic champion in the high

men the high schools produced during
the past year are to take part. Said
Prof Beckett yesterday:
Il feel quite sure that We will have the
most successful meet run off since events
July were instituted as a part Of the Gel
ebration of that day. Anyway. the results
of the preliminary arrangements and the
general outlook seem TO indicate almost
certain success. The number of entries
is much greater and the capabilities of
those entered are well recognized as
being above the average of those who ha We
| taken part in previous meets. The meet
will be held rain or shine, the weather
conditions being more or less immaterial
as far as the actual holding of the games
is concerned. We are laying off a track
on the turf just back of the bathing
beach. and all accommodations possible
are to be afforded the competitors"
