ROxDury SCHOOL lnulcaCeS.
 The entire proposition is self Explanatory from a letter sent pos sibIe participants by Mir. Cranston, chairman of the committee in charge. It follows: December 18th, in the Ray Tompxins House at Yale, repre- gentatives of the Boarding Schools of Connecticut met to discuss the feasibility of holding an annual track meet in which all such schools might participate. Dcle- gates, consisting of the athletic di- rector and one other athletic rep resentative, were present from each of he following schools: Chaote, Milford, Roxbury, Suffielj, Taft and Wooster (Danbury).
 ARfter prolonged discussion 1t was decided that in order to make such a track meet eminently suc- ing schools should be increased to include an invited list from outside the state. It was decided to invite Berkshire, Paving, Deerlield, Will braham, Wiluston, St. Georges. Moses Brown, and Portsmouth Priory to send teams to the meet, and to call the meet the Southern New England Invitation Interscho- 1astic Relay Carnival. The date set for the carnival is Saturday, June 1st. It was decided to include the following relays: 440 yards leach man running 110.)
 SS0 yards leach man running 22O).
 One mile (each man running 44O).
 Medley Relay-1st man 440, 2d man and Sd men, 220 each, and 4th man 880.
 220 yards for boys under 15 years leach boy running 55 yardsl. It was also decided to include all. the field events with entries re stricted to boys who have qualified by equalling or bettering the fol- lowing marks:
 Broad jump-206"
 High jump-5'S"
 Pole vault-11'
 Shot put-45'
 Javelin-160'
 Hammer throw-150'
 Discus-115'
 run off unless there are entries
 
 particular event.
 s- The signed statement of the track coach that the boy has equal led or bettered the mark, under his observation, to be accepted as suf- fciant to qualify him. The purpose of these rather rigid requirements 1s to keep the number of entries small so that the entire meet can be run off conveniently during the afternoon, starting probably at l:30.
 The Yale Athletic Association was asked to foster and supervise the meet and has signified its will 1ingnness to do so through Mr. Malcolm Farmer, its athletic d. rector.
 All entries for the relays or other events are to be in the hands of the committee not later than MsZ 22d.
 Tho following committee was appointed to complctet the neces. sary arrangements:
 H. Vigor Cranston, Roxbury school winning relay event. No Massie, Chaote School; k. c. Ad- amg, Jr., Taft School.
 Bronze medals are to be given to each winning competitor and banner or cup is to go the each cshool winning a relay event. No idea of a school championship Is to be involved in the meet, but the winner of each event Is to be re- garded as the champion in that event among the schools partici- pating.
 A fee,. probably not in excess of $10, will be required of each school entering to cover the cost of med als, trophies and incidentals.
 You are invited to give this mat ter your thoughtful considera- tion and are urgently requested 10 enter relay teams or individual performs so as to help establish this event as an outstanding one among preparatory schools of Southern New England.
 Entry blanks will be sent you at a later date but an expression of your interest at this time would be greatly appreciated.
 Sincerely yours,
 Fl. Vigor Cranston,
 Chairman.
