The Debating Declamation and Athletic League, fostered by Professor E D Shorter at the University of Texas, enters its fourth annual meeting in Austin on May 1 and 2. About six hundred participants will compete in outdoor events such as running, hammer throwing, shot put, and pole vault. County meets have preceded the final in over one hundred counties across Texas.
