TRAINING HIGH SCHOOL.
Animal Field Day at Newby Oval, Pre-
Iiminary To the State In
tersehOIastic Meet.

Tie fourth annual field day of the Man
uaI Training High School was held at New
by Oval yesterday afternoon. Thirty-two
young athletes participated in the contests.
which were the final preliminaries TO the
Indiana State interschoIastic meet which
will take place on the same field May rs.
There was a large attendance of scholars,
decorated with %colors. who exercised their
lungs with school yells. while the contest
ants on the field were straining their
muscles In hopping. jumping. running and
other manly sports. The girls of the school
are loyal and patriotic, for their bright
faces and encouraging class yeIls were a
feature of the meet. NJ. T. III. s. has over
1000 pupils. and a large proportion was at
the oval yesterday. !
The day was IDEAL for outdoor sports. and
the young athletes were favOrably in
fuenced by 1t. Nine Of the schools records
were broken. and seven of the State inter
scholastic marks were knocked into obliv-
ion. A. Vonnegut. as usual. won the al
around honors, obtaining 25lz points, while
Willis Coval won second with IA points to
his credit. John Hotz obtained Is points
and Manola Pickett Y. John Hotz showed
ND well in the long runs. He is the first
young man this season that has been able
TO keep pace with Jack Shideler in the mile
event. When Shideler crossed the tape
Hotz was but a few feet behind him. Shide-
Ter, although he smashed the interscholas-
tic record Of SIS, failed to come up with
his own record of 4:56. which he made in
practice this spring. Mark Dennis, who
won both the hundred-yard dash and the
MISUNDERSTANDING, Is coming up to
expectations. Manola Pickett promises to
become a record-breakiag Jumper.
In the bicycle races, Willis Coval, who Is
one of the best amateurs in the State,
usually has things his own way, but to-day
John Kittle stole one of the frsts from
him. Great things were expected from
Joel Barlow, but he broke his wheel in the
half-mile bicycle event. which Handicapped
him I'm both that race and the one-mile.
