meet between West Virginia Univer-
silly and West Virginia Wesleyan Col
lege will be staged at Morgantown on
Monday, May -. Everything is point
Ing to q rather successful meet, and
high hopes are being entertained by
each OF the contestants. West Virginia
seems to have the edge as the time
draws near, probably because of con-
tinued successes, and the presence Of
veteran team. The additions to the
squad from the 1919 class has given 1t
the appearance OF sure championship
caliber. Wesleyan is going with a
strong team. and there will be some
close struggles in all events. Wesleyan
made Its best showing last year in the
shorter running events. and nearly
won the meet through that work. West

work OF the weight men has not d.
unfinished. either in quality of work, or
number OF strong men competing.
