Tomorrow night in Baltimore the
South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic
Association will hold it's annual meet
ing in Baltimore. prior to the annual
track and field games scheduled Sat-
urday.. Not much of particular mo-
ment is likely to come up at the gath
ering, other than the natural discus
sion as to what will be done in hold
ing the meets in the future and in re-
gard to general athletics during the
war. Election of officers also will take
place.
Track events on Saturday are not
likely to develop very strong compe-
tition. Only three institutions have
good squads entered. and they do not
measure up to the standards of pre-
vious years. Several very competent
performers, though, are to take part,
and good marks may be set by in
>/dividuals.
