ton. there is plenty of class lined up
for the other tests.
1t may be that Bill Guckeyson,
Marylands great field events perform
~r. will win three events, something
which, it is believed, has never been
achieved in an important meet here.
He Is entered In the javelin, discus
and shotput. but it is not certain
he will compete in all of them. 1t is
figured he likely will break the C. U
Stadium record of 200 feet 10 inches

expected to win easily. Guckeyson
holds the present D. c. A. A. U.
record of 179 feet I inch. He is re-
being rated one of the Ave best javelin
tossers in the country.

Eddie Miller, crack Eastern High

probable winner in the high jump,
though he likely will get real oppo-
sition from Cabell Chapman of
Georgetown. who won the title in
the 1898 meet Navin. last years
champ, is not defending his honors
willard Beers of Maryland is given
the best chance of winning the broad
jump. Chapman also is capable in
this event.
Both the l10-yard high and 220 low
hurdles loom as interesting events,
with the leading contenders Mike
Norton, c. u: Bob Slye, Maryland,
and Dick Wallace. Wake Forest.
Earl Widmyer, Maryland flyer. is
the standout in the 100 meters. other
entries including Howard Walker,
