% SPORTS. BIG GAMES LISTED TOBE HELDNEXT JUNE IN CHICAGD BY H. C. BYRD. HE intercollegiate track and field meet, fostered by thf: National Collegiate Athlcfxc Association, and national in its scope, to be held at Chicago in June, should, if present plans follow to their logical conclusion, do much for college athletics generally and be of great specific value to track and field sports; at least, this seems to be the judgment of those in charge, as evidenced by the final decision of the committee pppcmted at the meeting oi-the National Col- legiate Association at Chicago in December, to investigate the feasi- i and desirability of holding such a meet, to stage it. This decision evidently was reached but recently, because it was only yes- terday that a questionnaire was re- ceived by colleges and universities in I THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

And in all probability there will be present at the meet not only the best athletes from each of the nine dis- tricts into which the N. C. A. A. is divided, but nearly every state is likely to be represented. Such a set of games after being run three or four years should develop into the greatest thing of its kind, and possibly the greatest thing in track and fleld athletics, short of the Olympics. College athletics generally should be much benefited through the closer touch which the meet would bring about between different sections of the country; and certainly such an event is goi to prove of inestimable value to track and field sports because of the accentuation of values thereby placed on the sport. A thing which worth developing on such a scale cer- tainly is worth building up in each institution. That naturally should be the reaction of the executive authori- ties of most institutions, and the con- sequent result ought to be seen in greater support for this branch of athletics. The meet will be held in Chicago, that being considered the most central point. And in all likelihood the ma- Jority of the colleges will favor either ihe first or second Saturday in June, shortly after most of the other big meets are held. Big Relay for Penn Games.
