ricuitural and Mechanical college.
Crowds OF singing or shouting stu
dents. some OF whom leave their
alma mater within n few days. are
making merry. The orange and
black OF Kendall college vies with
the orange and black OF the Aggies.

fident partisans. And the bronze
ana blue OF Central normal and the
blue and white of Southwestern
normal wave In tho breeze. A mes
sage OF confidence and warning to
the larger schools comes from tho
two normal entrants. both OF which
have been important factors In
track meets OF the past.
Tho Aggies. Kendall college, Phil
lips university and Central and
Southwestern normals are entered

athletes are always feared and they
are figured as formidable contend
ers.

Laforce. former Blackwell high
school stars. Ia looked on az a team
which may spring a surprise on It's
rivals. Rumors of n star distance
runner for tho bronze and blue have
been heard, which adds to the un-
certainty Of the meet.
Southwestern, like Central, has
not tried its strength with the Ag-
gios and the two UNCONVENTIONAL
schools, and Is therefore an uncer-
tain entrant.
