pete in FIVE different events.
Last year the Varsity Relay Team
was successful in winning the event
in which it was entered. This year
Howard has been entered in a faster
class by the authorities in charge of
the Penn Meet and will be compel
ing against such schools as the Uni
versity of Pittsburgh, Massachusetts,
Institute of Technology. Notre Dame.
Boston College. and a number of
other colleges in that class. The
coaches at Howard realize that they
must put forth every effort to have
the men in thorough condition for the
entrees. The Freshman Relay team
to be entered in the Meet is doing
exceptional work and the time being
made by the team compares favorably
with that of the Varsity Team.
Howard is also entering a man in
the Hammer throw, the Javelin and
Discus throw. This man has re-
markable ability in these three events
and it is expected that he viii win
at least one of his events and place
in each of them. His work with the
hammer is close to los feet at each
throw and 80 feet for the javelin and
l54 feet for the discus.
Much interest is being exhibited in
the coming meet and everyone is ex-
peeting Towards representatives to
make a good showing for the Uni
