INTERCOLLEGIATE MEET TO RETURN AGAIN TO STADIUM

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The intercollegiate spring track meet will return to the Stadium again this June, instead of remaining at Franklin Field, Philadelphia, S. deJ. Osborne '26, the manager, has just returned from New York, where negotiations were completed.

The intercollegiate games have alternated in the past few seasons between Franklin Field and the Stadium, but Pennsylvania made a special petition to obtain the event in connection with the sesquicentennial anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, which is being celebrated in Philadelphia this year.

City officials have made an effort to secure as many athletic attractions as possible for the exposition. The National Amateur Union meet is to be held there, with the traditional Penn relays. It was the opinion of the New York meeting of the intercollegiate body, however, that the regular alternation should not be broken and the Philadelphia petition was rejected.
