FIVE SEPARATE EVENTS FOR
COUNTY ATHLETES

University of Maryland's annual
Spring Field Day at College Park,
Saturday, May 2, offers the most pre-
tentious card Of the kind ever held in
the State. Including two track meets,
there will be six events as follows:
Track-Interscholastic meet, with IS
open events and five closed to county
high schools of the State, and a tran.
gular meet with Navy, Virginia and
Maryland as the competing teams.
The triangular meet will be run con-
currently with the high and prep
school games.
Baseball-West Virginia vs.. Mary.
land.
Lacrosse-Penn State VS.. Maryland:
Virginia Freshmen VS.. Maryland
Freshmen.
Tennis-William and Mary VS.. Mary
land.
The track meets will get under way
at 1 o'clock, the tennis match at 100,
the baseball game at 2 o'clock, and
the lacrosse contest, the final feature.
at AIS. The freshman lacrosse game
will be played at 10 O'Clock in the
morning.
The track meets and varsity Ia
crosse game will be staged in Byrd
Stadium and the ball game and tennis
match on the diamond and courts that
are adjacent. The baseball field, es-
pecially the diamond, is just as good
as any in the South and one of the
best In the country. 1t has a stand
that seats close to 1000.
The open events in the interschol
astic meet are: 100, 22O and 44O-yard
dashes, half-mile and mile runs, 12O-
yard high hurdles, 220-yard low hur-
dies. 12-pound shot put, discus and
1avelin throws, high and broad jumps
and pole vault.
Events closed to county high schools
in Maryland are: 100 and 44O-yard
dashes, half-mile run, 12-pound shot
put and broad jump.
All entries must reach the Univer-
sity Of Mar; land at College Park on
or before Monday, April ~, In order
that the program may be properly
compiled.
Entrants must be undergraduates
who are under 81 years of age and who
are competing for not more than their
fourth year for their school.
Keen competition is promised in
every one of the events on the pro-
gram, although the Maryland Var
sity track team, in the process of
rebuilding after losing most Of its
1880 stars by graduation, is not ex-
pected to cope with Navy and Vir-
ginia, those two teams thought should
stage battle royal for top honors.
Maryland has capable baseball and
lacrosse teams and the contests with
West Virginia and Penn State, both Of
which rank high, should provide fine
attractions.
The competition in the open schol-
astic events should be better than ever.
as there will be no rival meets as has
been the case in past years. Mary
land, Virginia and the District of Co
lumbia doubtless will send their best,
while competitors from North Caro-
lima, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
West Virginia are expected to take
part as they have done in other Field
Day carnivals.
A bigger entry list than ever before
10 expected for the interscholastic
meet, especially In the county high
school section in which Hagerstown
High was the victor last year.
Special invitations and arrange
ments are being made to take care Of
the principals Of the competing high
schools. They will be the guests of
the University for the day.
Specially designed gold medals will be
given the winners in each event, sill
yer ones will go to the runners-up and
bronze ones to those finishing third.
