Invitations Out to $50 Colleges
for Relay Carnival.
Fifth Annual Indoor Meet at
Urbana March 6.

Crbana. Ill, Dec. APPROPRIATIONS
for the fifth annual University of Hi
nois Relay Carnival, to be held in the
huge armcry March 4, are rapidly
getting under way and invitations
have been sent to $50 colleges and
universities in the country.
The meet is one of the greatest in
door events in the nation for col
leges, for it brings together all of the
best track athletes from all sections.
schools competed, and some excellent
marks were established
Southern colleges and universities
are taking to the track more than
ever before. and it is expected that
many of the Texas teams and other
good aggregations will send crack re-
lay teams to the Illinois avent- Let
tiers have been received from many
sections asking for the list of events
on the program.
Coach Harry Gill, who originated
this carnival six years ago, has writ
ten to the forty-one coaches who were
here with their teams last season ask
ing them for suggestions concerning
changes for the betterment of the
meet, such as the addition of more
special races. All of the relay races
will be again staged and many more
special races are being considered.
The profits of the meet, as is the
custom at the Illini indoor event, will
be pEo-rated among the competing
teams in proportion to the number of
men actually competing and the dis
lance travelled by the teams. This
plan worked very successfully at the
fourth annual carnival and the visit
ing coaches were pleased with the
large sums they received, for in many
cases it paid most of the travelling ex-
penses of the athletes.
The contest will again be held in
the armory, which is a huge structure
and amply large for a meet of this
type. 1t has a cinder path s q laps
to the mile, ten feet wide and inside of
this a straightway rs yards long. It
has an area of 10000 square feet
of floor space.

general assembly in 1906, official fig
ures show that in 155 days of racing
in 1905, $4205350 was paid in purses
and stakes The highest stake was
$3.50, and the smallest was $500.
In 1909, the purses and stakes
dropped TO $249.90o. and since then
have increased steadily, with the ex-
ception of 1918, when they were
s1.100 lower than 1917, altho there
were five racing days less that year
than in 1917. The million dollar
mark was barely missed in 1919, the
year the kentucky Jockey club was
organized, when s997,190 was paid to
racers. The next year it jumped to
s1.200,S0O.

tributed to turfmen s3.479. 665, the Of

years purses and stakes have reached
the grand total of s7,375,375.

may be noticed the higher prices being
paid for racing horses. Horsemen

Retail trade throughout this terri
