Talent has been chosen for the
fteld and track meet of the second
and third class districts again this
year. We have the best track and
other equipment for such meet and
are planning upon some very exten-
sive improvements. Some changes
have been made in the rules for the
meet, which will be of special inter-
est to the rural schools. The larger
schools of Rogue River, Gold Hill,
Central Point, Jacksonville, Phoenix
and Talent are TO be in league and
meet by themselves to compete for
the Olympic Society's cup. All the
schools not so listed are to compete
among themselves for an indoor base
ball outfit. This arrangement gives
the rural schools chance to feel
their strength with schools of their
size and to compare themselves with
the larger schools. Any school wish
ing further information is requested
to write to either Mr.. G W. Ager,
at Jacksonville. or to the
Olympic Society of Talent.
