dash, 75-ysrd high and low hurdles,
3oo-yard dash, 1,0oo-yard run, 1900
meter run, broad Jump, high Jump, pole
vault and shotput.
One Of the most attractive events
will be the all-around championship
largely because Pennsylvania great
Barney Berlinger will attempt to win
it for the third straight year.
Set Record Last Year.
Berlinger last year set a record of
SOTO points and with competition Is
figured capable Of establishing a mark
that will stand for long time. Seven

hurdles, shotput, pole vault, high Jump.
broad jump and sso-yard runs-a
thorough test.

represent the Irish in the event.
The university medley relay title will
be defended by Marquette, and Pitts
burg. Kans., State TeSchers will strive
to repeat in the college mile and 2-mile
relays. Michigan State Normal, Ypsi-
lanti, Mich, will be back for the med
ley race.
Big Ten Leader In.
All the point winners in the Western

State sophomore, will meet in the IS
yard high hurdles for the third time of
the season to settle their dispute. Each

and Seminar In the Big Ten indoor
meet.
Verne McDermont Of Illinois, who
has done Is feet ga inches in the pole
vault, will try to reach IA feet inches,
for a new world indoor record, and

ENHANCES being made In the lay
out of the Princess Anne Coun-
~ try Club, where the champion
ship tourney of the Middle At
lantic Golf Association will be played
June 4, and 6, will stiffen up that
course considerably and in the opinion
of the chairman of the Greens Com
mittee will make it a stroke or two
harder for the goling gents Of Wash
ington and surrounding territory who
go there early next Summer to COM
pete for the premier sectional title about
the Capital.
The course at present Is e,2o8 yards
long, without great many traps to
catch a ball of the line. In the future,
as in the past, the main hazard at
Princess Anne will be the columns of
tall pine trees which flank the fair
ways on almost every hole of the course.
But to this hazard, which Is almost
into the woods, will be added during
the coming Spring something like Is
new traps, placed around the putting
green's to make the approaches far more
difficult and add stroke or two to the
scoring. Details of the trapping plan
for the course on which the cham
pionship will be played were revealed
today by S. Y. Priddy, chairman of the
Princess Ann Greens Committee.
THE first hole-a par affair of
l. 487 yards-will be considerably
Stiffened by traps at the right and
left of the green. The green can be
reached with two spanking wooden
club shots, but it takes two real wal
lop3 to get home. Heretofore the put
ting green has been wide open, but
Priddy explains that it will be trapped
on beth sides. Into the face Of the
green at the fourth hole other traps
are to be built, while the sixth hole
will be stiffened by the construction Of
a trap at the right side of the green.
The seventh hole, where Walter Hagen
took a 9 " an open tourney. viii not
be changed. It is a difficult par 8. But
the long eighth will be trapped at the
green to make the approach harder
No changes are TO be made in the ninth
and tenth, but into the face of the
green at the eleventh will be built a
pair OF traps laid out like steps to make
necessary pitch shot across the road
way to the putting surface. The thir-
tenth hole, one Of the best drive and
pitch holes on the layout, also will be
trapped at the green. No further
changes are to be made until the six
tenth, which Is par affair of ats
yards and can be reached with two we'll
hit wooden shots. A big trap is to go
in at the right side of the green. similar
to the one on the left. The last two
holes will remain as they are, consti-
tuting two strong finishing holes The
seventeenth Is a drive and pitch and
the eighteenth drive and q medium
