All of the DeKalb county high schools have been invited to send representatives. Auburn. Waterloo, Spencerville and Ashley have already i signified their intentions of sending teams, while there is a possibility ot ttams coming from other towns. All of the schools especially Auburn, have strong track sounds and an in- teresting meet is assured. Considering the showing made by Garrett at Kendallville last Saturday, the local track and field team holds a slight advantage in the county meet and is expected to win.

The program consists ot tne reuma events of the Indiana High M'lllltll Athletic Association, namely: the high jump, broad jump, pole vault, shot put. 100-yard dash. 220-yard dash, 440-yard dash, 100-yard hurdles. 220-yard hurdles, mile run, and half-mile run.

The winning school will be award ed a banner, the winning teams of the mile relay and the half-mile relay will receive pennants, and the indi- viduals winning or placing in the other events will receive ribbons. This contest will be the first of its kind ever to be held here as Gar rett has been without a track until this ear. The finishing touches arc being given the track to get it into the best possible shape by Saturday, it is being scraped and rolled and is now fit for running. Hurdles are also being built.
