THE BEST FIELD ."AND TRACK ARTISTS IN THE STATE WILL BE PRESENT EARLHAM PICKED A3 THE WINNER.' v

The Indiana College"; Athletic league meet will be held on:Rejd field Satur day, on which the eye of all the athletic interests , of the Estate will be turned. This U .one-oi tUe most lm portant meets held each year lit "Indiana, and is one of:'tfce largest. . That the meet is to be held on Reid Field this year means no little-undertaking for Earlham." There' will be six of the big Indiana' colleges represented and the team scoring h4 largest number of points -will be. considered ,the state outdoor, champion in track and field athletics. :; The league is composed of Wabash. Rose Polytechnic. Hanover, State' Normal ; Franklin college and Earlham. - ' , Earlham Is Favorite. ' ' Up to the present the probable winner appears to be either Earlham or Wabash, the former having the best chance, considering the result of the De Pauw meet, held last Saturday. Coach Vail and Prof. Graves, however, will not let up on the training of the men as they , recognize the representatives of the yellow and white will not have as easy time Saturday" as they did in the dual meet with the Methodists. It can be depended on that Earlham Is to be reckoned ' with throughout the meet. ' . The Wabash college team has for the past two years been able to capture the meet. In 1907 they won without much difficulty, but last year Earlham gave them a run for their money and it was only after the hardest, kind of a fight that the Little Giants landed In first place. It is known that they have lost several of, their ( best point winners this ya?,' while Earlham, her nearest 'opponent has all the old me ij back; so that the dope artists have to give the Quakers recognition, s Rose Poly is hot to be forgotten and is regarded as: being a factor in the race. Hanover and the state normal are not looked Upon to break into the tfutnt winning v'ery strong' - white Franklin is expected to make a good showing.
