In last Sundays issue. it was stated that
Mercersburg had won permanent pos
session of the trophy given at the
Princeton interscholastic track and
field games last Saturday, owing to it's
third consecutive victory. This was a
mistake, as the trophy goes to the
school which wins it five times. The
cup has been competed for three times.
and Mercersburg has been the victor
on each occasion. Two more wins will
give Mercersburg permanent posses
sion.
