in the annual interscholastic
track and field meet at the Uni

to compete this Spring on May 2.
Interest in the games is more
widespread and an exceptional
entry list is certain.

nearly four hundred athletes, competed

Der is pretty sure to be exceeded, ac-
cording to DR.. w. B. Kemp, chairman
of the committee managing the meet
The usual events are to be run Off
Besides the Is carded for the open in
terscholaStic meet, five are listed for
the county high schools of Maryland
in which only athletes represe nting
high schools from the % counties may
take part. Hagerstown High won the
county honors in 1880. The open inter-
scholastic events were won by Allen
town Prep, but that school is not being
invited to send entries to this years
meet, consequently will not take part.
In past seasons the big Virginia pre-
paratory schools have not been able to
take part because of their own cham
pionship meet in Virginia. 1t Is under
stood, though, that a change in dates
will enable them to compete in this
years games. All the Washington high
schools, and several Of the prep schools,
take part every year. And, incidentally,
the local schools often have furnished

1t will be about the fullest athletic
day Maryland ever has had.
THE only intercollegiate athletic con-
test scheduled here tomorrow is a
tennis match between Washington
and Lee and Georgetown. incidentally,
several such competitions before the

George Washington continues its trip
over Friday and Saturday, meeting
Hampsen-Sidney and Duke, respec-
lively.
American University plays st. Johns
at Annapolis on Friday and Maryland
goes to William and Mary Saturday,
which makes a total of nine matches
in which local colleges are to engage.
Georgetown's ball team has only one
game this week, that with Mt. st.
Mary's Tuesday afternoon on the HILL
top field. If the Blue and GRAY plays
as well then as it did last week, then
It should add another victory 10 its
list.

scheduled to play every day. The Old
Liners entertain the University of Vir-
GINA on Tuesday. Western Maryland

Maryland won from Washington and
Lee, but 1t has not yet met either of
the other two schools.
Catholic University and GEORGETOWN
will send men to the Penn relays. Both
universities are hoping for good results.
Catholic u. has the best track squad
that has ever worn its colors and Coach
Dorsey Griffith firmly believes his men
should make an exceptional showing.
Coach John OReilly had a strong
relay in the indoor meets last Winter
and his men should be no less effective
on the outdoor track. although they
have not had as good facilities and OPP
portunities for training as OReilly
would have liked.
For the first time in many years.
probably in IS or more seasons, the
University OF Maryland will not send
relay teams to the Penn games. There
are no quarter-milers at College Park
who would stand even a remote chance
