For two years the muscular Representatives
of Central High School have outscored their
opponents from Eastern, Western and Bust
ness. and are making every effort to retain
their hard-earned honors. That they will
be compelled to struggle for the permanent
possession is acknowledged, for after two
years of inactivity the Eastern Western
and Business boys have been training faith
fully and doing all in their power to enable
them to wrest the trophy from victorious
Central Therefore the experts are predict
ing some very close and exciting finishes
at this years games. With favorable
weather, ten records out of thirteen will
be broken.

special attractions for the enjoyment of

exhibition unpaced mile bicycle race by
Fred Schade, champion of the south, for
the track record; an exhibition drill by the
Central High Fancy Drill Squad. and a
four-mile bicycle relay race for the High

most interesting features of the afternoon.

Representatives of the schools.
FROM the above list it will be seen that
Oil the SCHOOLS except Business are rep
iesehteo IN every event. This will make
some very interesting contests, especially
III the case OF the hundred" in which are
some or the fastest schoolboy sprinters N
lhe east Central people expect Young 10
win, as he has the best record Western
pin their faith Charles Taussie wao
mas Deen doing some fast work in training.
Norsiey is the hope of the Eastern root
ers, and the Capitol Hill boys confidently
expect him to secure first honors. Bruncr
Oh business must also be included in the
winning calculations. The fight for first
place in this race will be one of the pref
test finishes of the day, and just now it
Is toss up between the above named four
men for the honors. The same men will
come together in the furlong and again
the result is doubtful However, at this
distance Young seems to be the favorite
for first.
The finish of the quarter is also furnish
ing the pickers of winners considerable
trouble, as there are five men entered who
can go in less than 50 seconds. Three Of
the men, Young, Wilson and Stuart, are
members of CentraPs relay team, but they
will be hard pushed by Taussig and Hilder.
In all three of these shorter runs records
will be broken. In the $50 yards run there
Will be another interesting conclusion be-
tween Stuart and Wilson of Central, Smith
of Western and Lee of Eastern. Stuart and
Wilson will undoubtedly have it out fast
and close for first, with the chances even
for either to win out Wilson is a new
man, but has done some very fast work
in training. Smith and Lee are both in
good condition and promise to assist ma
terially in the record breaking in. this
event.
Ten-Mile Run.
Anotner event, iii WHICH the present
figures will be lowered RS the mile run. in
which Stuart is conceded first place. The
fight for second and third will be quite
warm between MerWin Moore, Hendricks
and Lee. These men,are all fast and good
for five minutes fatcet the distance.
The 1920" hurdle ,isIAnother event in
which the chief Interest will be in the
place men. us Chftiss is conceded the
winner. Rfttenhouse, Underwood. Kelly,
Zurhorst and Worsfey Will have It hot
for second and third with the chances In
favor of Zurhorst ahd Kelly. II Curtiss is
pushed he win lowerfh figures.
Curtiss is also conceded first in the high
jump, but the fight fof tiie other places will
be stubborn with 3adfol1s and Sacgemiller
as favorites. In the'0ump and pole vault
Curtiss win very HkelHE put the figures
where they will not he 5ouched for some
time. His closest cosnpaAtors In the vault
will be Zurhorst of Business and Duryea OF
Central The contest between these two
will be very close, and either is likely to get
the place. The broad jump is one of the
most uncertain events on the program. 1t
is improbable that Farrow's record of twen-
ty-one fec and one-half inch will be brok-
en- WI .er, Curtiss, Young. Trow and
RittenhoGse are all equal to nineteen feet
and either is likely to win.
The weight events have brought out
