As usual the high schools of Mary- land and District of Columbia make up the bulk of the entry list.

John Holtz and Joe Kelley com- prise the “team” and if their coach is serious about the matter, the former will compete in six events and the latter in four. Holtz is slated to show his skill in the 100, 220 and 440 yard dashes, shot put, discus throw and broad jump, while Kelley is slated to toil in the shot, discus, pole vault and high jump. As the scholastic meet, totaling 21. open and county evenis, a triangular affair among Washing- ton and Lee, Virginia Tech and Maryland and a dual battle be- tween Gallaudet and the Old Line freshmen will be run concurrently. The events will be spread over such time as to make it possible for Holtz and Kelley to meet most of the assignments provided they at- tempt to go through with the schedule, WESTERN NET VICTOR Gets Fine Start in Series With 4-3 Win Over Central.
