Hopes to Lower Her Own Record
Men Not Barred Girls
Excused from Classes
Tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock
sharp one of the most interesting
events of the year will take place
when the girls will battle for honors
iii field and track events. Although in
years past this meet has called forth
a large and enthusiastic audience,
this year it promises to exceed all
others in elaborate preparation and
enthusiastic interest The girls have
been practicing for many weeks and
are in fine condition. All girls are
excused from classes providing they
attend the meet, a recorder taking
their names as" they enter.
About fifty girls are contending for
honors, among them Miss Florence
Simmons, woman's world-champion in
hurdling. Although it is urged and
expected that all girls attend, men
are by no means barred, and for their
benefit it might be well to say that
the Freshman-Sophomore baseball
game is played according to indoor
' rules, and plays which seem like
"boneheads" by outdoor rules are cor
rect All are urged to attend this original
event, the admission being only 10
cents.

follows:
