FIELD AND TRACK.
A MEET THAT WILL suRPAsS
EVEN STATE CARNIVAL.

A track and field meet that Will
surpass even the state high school
athletic carnival was planned Satur-
day, by representatives of the South
ern Iowa High School Athletic Con-.
ference meeting at the Oskaloosa
High school building in annual bust
ness session. The most important
action taken at the meeting was the
division Of the conference into two
classes, Glass A, for all high schools
having an enrolment over $50 and
Glass b, for all high schools whose
registration is below $50. This
classification will now permit the
conference to invite larger schools to
participate in the events. and with
fairness to the smaller institutions,
excludes the star athletes OF the large
high schools.
Prof. j. +. Lukins, principal of the
Charlton High school, was chosen
president of the growing athletic
body, filling the Office made vacant
by the transfer OF President ]. A.
Steffey OF Knoxville to the head of
the Ames high school,
Two events will be run for each
contest of the meet, Glass A running
! first, and followed closely by Class
b, taking for example the 100 yard
dash. Winners of the Glass A pre-
liminaries win race, and their dash
viii be followed by the similar dash
of Glass b qualified runners.
In the same way, two programs in
the musical and oratorical contests
have. been provided. On the Friday
evening before the track meet, Class
B representatives will take part in
the humorous declamatory and dou-
BILE quartette contests. Saturday
evening, the Class A musical and
speaking programs will occur.
A tentative date for holding the
meet and scholastic contests was
named. May 18th was selected as
most suitable and may be final, at
