War Classic.
Never before in the history of the
Indiana Collegiate Athletic league
have so many athletes participated in
the annual track and field classic at
any college as will compete at Frank
I'm college Saturday afternoon for the
l. c. A. L. state championship
Each college has almost complete
list OF its best athletes entered in the
nrst big after-war track and field meet
neld Tor the last two years. Besides
the track meet baseball game will
DeSplayed, to decide the champion of
the |. c. A. L. Early this year ath-
letfc directors adopted a new play
tumble they always got into at the
close OF the season as to who was the
champion and who was not, but adop-
ton was all the farther it went
Only two colleges followed out the
new plan. Butler and Normal Frank
lin who claims the right to play the
final game has no such claim accord
Ing to that plan. as no game was
scheduled with Earlham as it should
have been. However. an announce
T
college intends to play Normal for
the 1. C. A. L. championship
Two weeks ago when Franklin was
on the Showdown there was sent
broadcast mighty kick that colleges
were not living up to the original
plans OF the'I. c. A. L., but Franklin
commenced to win and now is salts
fed to let we'll enough alone. AS
Of ho
of Normal and Butler lived up to the
contract, they should play for the
title but as that will not be fair the
only method left Is to decide the title
by comparative doping Neither plan
will effect Earlham as that team is
in the cellar position whichever way
It goes.
EarIham .Doped for First
Franklin track critics are doping
Earlham to win about 25 points at the
meet but intend for the Quakers to
stop there. They also admit that both
Wabash and Rose Poly will have some
chance on the track where Earlham
is weak. In fact, according to the
dope on which the Franklinites base
their strongest claims for Franklin
winning the meet, Earlham will step
to the front Earlham has the strong
est field aggregation that ever com
peted in the l. c. A. L. classic and
with the other colleges dividing the
firsts on the track and allowing the
Quakers to annex some seconds and
thirds, Earlham should emerge from
the battle a victor.
