Butte and Helena Ask That
Spring Meeting at Uni
versity Be Held.
NO OTHER ANSWERS
Schools More Distant Have
Not Yet Had Time to
Reply to Letter

Favorable replies to the letters of
inquiry that were sent out Monday
are being received by ]. P. Rowe,
chairmaQ of the university interscho-
lastic track meet committee, and from
present indications it is likely that the
meet will be staged as scheduled. The
letters were sent to 80 high schools in
the state. asking whether or not, in
the opinion Of the principals and the
coaches of those Institutions, the track
meet this year should be called off or
postponed. This action was taken be-
cause it was reported that a number
OF star athletes had enlisted, and that
some of the larger schools would be
unable to send teams to the meet.
Yesterday Dl. Rowe received
answers from Butte and Helena, both
urging that the interscholastic track
meet be held as usual. AS the track
teams of those two schools were ru-
mored to have been hard hit through
members of the squad enlisting in the
service of Uncle Sam, local officials
consider the favorable answers as
very encouraging.
