TRl-CITY MEET
Respective High Schools are Ready
for Annual Outdoor Events To-
morrow Afternoon.

Os rye
Everything is all ready for the
tri-city high school outdoor meet to
be held tomorrow afternoon at two
O'Clock at Browning field, Moline.
The Islanders have improved great
ly since the indoor meet held at
Augustana and will give Davenport
a hard fight for first place. The
local squad has had hard practice
every night for the lasttwo weeks
and the men are in the best shape of
the year.
The Davenport team that won the
indoor meet will all be up to the
contest at Browning field. The
Iowans have some good men but
they will have to do far better work
tomorrow than they did at the IN
door meet some weeks ago if they
want to bring home the bacon.
Although the Islanders lost the
indoor tournament the crimson and
gold team is determined to be re-
venged for the previous defeat.
There are large number of candi-
dates out this year and Coach KIM
rel will find no difficulty in finding
enough men for all the events
Two weeks from Saturday the Big
Eight track meet will be held at
Knox college, Galesburg. The team
that will represent Rock Island in
this contest will be picked after to-
morrow's contest.
