nearly 100 in the District A. A. U.
section of the meet, including most
ly athletes from Maryland, George

candidates for the 1910 United
States Olympic team, notably AL

er, both freshmen, and Bob Beatty.
Bulls School javelinist. Blozis,
however. won't be eligible for

schoolboy athletes of the country
in Wally Legg, sprinter, hurdler and
broad jumper, Washington-Lee of
