SCHOLASTIC MEET
AT CHESTERTOWN
Third Annual! Eastern Shore
Track-And-Field Event To
Be Held May IL.

Washington College is holding its
third annual Eastern Shore Inter.
scholastic Championship Athleti,
Meet" at Washington Field on Satur
day, May II, 1924. The Meet will
begin promptly at II o'clock. All fielc
events will be in the morning.
The entry list is open, not only to
the winners at the county meets but
also to any and all bona fide students
who can meet the age and weight con.
ditions. We are using the same age
and weight classes as the Public
Athletic League, so that any boy
competing in his county meet should
be eligible to the same class in the
Eastern Shore Meet.
The Meet is given with the appro-
val of the Pubic Athletic League,
and is in no way intended as substi-
tute for the State Meet at Homewood
in June. The entries are confined to
the Eastern Shore of Maryland and
Virginia-an attempt to bdild up ath-
letics among home boys.
Suitable medals will be awarded to
the winners-gold for first place, sill
YER for second place and bronze for
third place. These medals will be
distinctly emblematic of the champ
ionship of the Eastern Shore.
Lunch will be served at noon to all
those taking part. In case of the
three lower counties of Maryland
Worcester, Wicomico and Somerset,
and the two counties of Virginia
Accomac and Northampton, entertain
ment and lodging will be furnished
over Friday and Saturday nights pro-
vided the college is notified at least
a week in advance as to the number
desiring this accommodation.
1t is expected that a much larger
list Of entries than last year will be
made. Properly to register and to
program this list requires quite lit
tie time. Hence the college is asking
that the entries be returned with entry
blank properly filled out as soon as
possible. Since in many cases the
names are unfamiliar it would be bet
ter if the entries were typewriter.
Feeling that the success of the
Meet depends largely upon your in
terest we wish to thank you for your
cooperation and enthusiasm in the
past, and to invite you to be with us
this year. Come out, and put your
school and county at the top of the
list of winners.
