Coach Says Institution Cannot
Handle Meet.

The South Atlantic intercollegiate
A. A. outdoor championship meet will
go to Johns Hopkins, Georgetown
University. or tho University of Vir-
gInia, following today's communics-
ton from Charles A. Bcrnier, coach
at V. p. l.. where the meet was to
have been staged.
Bernier has written President II. c.
Byrd. Of Maryland State College, that
owing to crowded conditions of the
dormitories and the fact that hotel
accommodations are inadequate In
the town IL will be impossible for the
Blacksburg men to stage the meet set
for May 8.
Byrd will put the matter up to
Georgetown, Johns Hopkins. and Vir-
glnia- As Georgetown has scheduled
the meet for 1921 II may be that the
Billtoppers will ask for the games.
Hopkins is known to be in favor of
conducting the meet there.
IL Is not improbable that the S. A.
authorities will ask to hold the meet
IN conjunction with the Wilson Me-
mortal schoolboy meet, to be held here
in the Central High stadium on the
same date.
