The award will consist of a trophy, to be rotated from year to year amopg the winning schools, and a plaque which will become the permanent property of the winning school. Representatives from each of the ing the Southwest Conference track 1 meet in Houston next! month. 1 It is hoped to present the. trophy each spring, preferably around the early part of May.
