Interscholastic Games.

Next Saturday on Holmes Field the 10th annual outdoor meet of the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Harvard University will take place. Twenty-one schools will be represented. This association was formed in 1884 by a number of Harvard graduates, but not until 1889 was the organization made a permanent one. Then a silver cup was offered to the school scoring the most points each year, and individual prizes to the winners of the various points.

The states of New Hampshire, Maine, Connecticut and New York all have interscholastic associations, but none of them have been able to equal the records made by the Harvard Association.

There are over two hundred entries for the meeting on Saturday, and there is good chance that some records will be beaten.

The following records are the ones which the boys will strive to break Saturday:

100 yards dash, 10 1/5s., F. H. Bigelow, Worcester H. S., June 9, 1894.
