A. F. Duffy of Worcester academy is

record of 30 seconds for that distance
4
ton College games, winning the handi-
cap from scratch and the invitation
dash. which was also scratch. In each
race there were several heats, and he
ran every one in record time. JOurdan

his sChoolmates rely on him to win sec
ond place Scheuber of Worcester
academy won first in the novice 40 at
the recent b. A. A. meet, and

into championship form. b. G. Laney
Of BrOoNline high is the best man with

scholastic relay team which raced the
New York interscholastic at the 3. A.

sidered. The sprint should go to Duff

/ Jourdan of Worcester high is consid-
cred the best thing in the 300. But
that position is not as certain SIS Duff

Hersey Of Exeter is a man who can't
/ be left out of calculation at any time
IN that distance, and he will probably

on whom Worcester academy relies is

the first time, and while he is doing
well, his schoOlmates can't blame him
