Dr. Allen has invited all coaches and athletes here for the Interscholastic Track and Field meet tomorrow to be guests at the game, which will start at 7:30, in Robinson gymnasium.
After the contest all guests have been invited by the coaching staff of the University to journey to the Eldridge hotel for a program of entertainment, including movies of the Kansas-Missouri football game.

Topeka has a sure point - getter
In the Class A field, Wichita East will be a favorite to repeat as winners in their division. Under Ray Kanehl last year, now Kansas varsity track coach, the Wichita Aces won first place. Wichita North edged out East last week at the Anthony Relays, but the Aces were without their star performer, Linwood Sexton, so will be expected to be a strong opponent if the colored flash is ready to go.
and a possible record-breaker in Don Price, pole vaulter. In an opening performance two weeks ago, Price soared to 12 feet, 4 inches, and he may be able to best Don Bird's Kansas Relays record of 12 feet, $6\frac{3}{4}$ inches made in 1934.
The Topeka Trojans, as a team will be a strong contender for the Class A title as they have showed power in several dual meets already this season.
The Class B champion of last year, Bentley, will not be present for this year's affair. Clearwater, Haven,

Mr. Thompson's bass tones were produced freely and easily both in the bass solo and in the recitative, featuring a bass solo with the chorus but unaccompanied by the orchestra. In this number, the male section of the choir took the lead to be answered by the women's chorus.
Substituting at the last minute for Miss Peabody, who has been ill with a heavy cold, Miss Moncreiff again took over the role of second soprano in the quartet arrangement which composed the sixth division of the program.
Cavatina, a mezzo-soprano solo, was ably sung by Miss Peabody whose strong high notes rose sure and clear above the accompaniment of brass, woodwinds, and strings.
