in the Track Events.

Weather indications point TO clear skies
for the inter-high school games which,
nostponed from Friday last, are sched-
uled for tomorrow afternoon The inter
est in high school athletic circles centres
in the meet which, now that the baseball
championship is settled, will probably be
the last interscholastic sporting event OF
the season. Western and Central High
School rooters express confidence that
victory will perch on the banners OF their
respective schools The delay on account
of the rain last week has been turned 10
good account by the track and held men,
An have fnduIged in enough light work
to keen their muscles in good shape.
With a fast track assured, it is probable
that several records in the track events
will be clipped. II is conceded that the
meet will go either to Central or West
ern. Central has proven the victor 1or
two consecutive years, ana WIN inns
time places the Blue and White IN per
manent possession of the handsome tro-
ply.

Central High School, it is conceded py
nearly everyone the dashes will fan. His
showing in meets held in Washington al
ready this year points him a sure winner
Ol
also entere 4 in the quarter-mile run, but
NAV not show so well in that event, in
which several fast sprinters from West

! as good as won appears to be the high
lump. which, it is expected, Guy, OF
/ eastern. will capture with little effort.
