Lafayette Gazette April 19, 1902 Boys Practicing Their Field-day Sports. The boys are practicing daily their field-day sports for a great athletic contest some time in the month of May, when medals will be given them; one for the boy performing the best all-round athletic feats; the other to the most successful contestant in some single feat. Enthusiasm is now running high, and the boys are determined to give the public an exhibition that will be worth the price of admission to see.
