and everything is in readiness for the
third annual indoor prep meet to be
given tonight under the auspices OF
the Eichmond Blues to the teams rep
rcsonting Bcncdictine College. Rich
: m"nd Academy and the John Marshall
High School.
The meet will be OF more than ordi-
nary interest TO followers OF track
athletics in this city. az il decides
whether or not the Marshallitcs are to
become permanent holders of the
handsome Smithdeal trophy. The Blue
and White lads have won two legs
ON the cup, and are determined to win
tho third. Equally determined are the
other schools that they shall not have
il. and the meet is destined TO be close,
( it appears.
In addition to the silver trophy Of
tered there VIII also he silver and
bronze medals for first and second
places, respectively. but no medals for
third place. The Winners OF the cham
! pionship relay will 10 given silver
medals. hut there are no medals Of
fcrcd foi the midget relay, however.
/ Surpriscs Looked for.
The first event on the program is the
fifty-yard dash. lnithis event the pub
! lie school lads are first choice for at
n
entered Brandt and Hancock. although
/ iinford and Turner, OF tho academy,
are likely TO give them surprise.
] i\leresahl and Roster, of Benedictine,
, arc two men who have shown up to
! advantage in practice.
| In the nfty-yard hurdles there Is
/ likely to be some surprises. John Core.
| of the Narshallites. has heretofore
shown clean pair of heels to all COM
| petitors in this event, but Kuyk, OF
| tho acadamE squad. IS likely to prove
a dark horse. ilcming and Roster. OF
Bcnedictine. are counted on TO give
a good account OF themselves.
! The 3o0yard dash is perhaps the
! hardest event in which to pick the
winner. Brandt and Walter Anderson,
of the public school team. are both
good men in thiss event, Brandt having
Won il last year. Spencer and Hill.
! OF tho academy, have also shown some
good running. and they are sure to
give tho other entries in this event a
hard contest. The Bencdictine boys
/ have some mighty good men entered
in SAVIOUR. kl"vcsahl and Brown.
! Thompson Looks Like Winner.
/ Tho premier event OF the evening is
( likely 10 he the half-milc run. Spencer,
| for the academy, and Curtis Thompson
! for tho Marshallitcs. are the tavorites
! in this event. Irving Thompson
! brother of Curtis has hccn showing
wonderful form in this event. and many
are of the opinion that he will be
tho winner In addition to these men
there arc entered Il number OF others.
some Of whom are likely TO spring
surprises.
| In tho high jump. pole vault and shot
| put il is absolutely impossible to pick
! the winners. All, or most OF the men,
arc new, and nothing is known Of their
-bility. In tho high jump. however.
I ~ -
/ White. have been showing UP to good
advantage. Spencer and kuyk. OF
the academy. and I[lcvesahl and Meyer.
