CHILLICOTHE, O., June 10.--Ed-
ward Cook, the phenomenal 16-year-
old high school Junior who took sec
ond place in the Michigan interscho-
lastic meet, has returned home, re-
ceiving from his fellows an ovation
for his wonderful performance at Ann
Arbor.
CCook won the high jump, pole
vault and broad jump, establishing a
worlds prep school record in the lat
ter event. His jump was % feet u
inches.
Cook is a country boy, his father
being a well-to-do farmer. Quiet, I'M
assuming, the young athletic wonder
is popular. The family, of which he
is so strenuous a member, is noted
for its athletic prowess, but this
youngest member can eclipse the eff
forts of any of his relatives.
1t has been a family tradition that
the members should matriculate at
the Ohio State university, and Isaac
Cook, an elder brother, is now a
member of the track of the Q. S. L.
Which university the new star in
the athletic armament will attend is
in doubt, for ii is universally con-
ceded that he will be sought after by
some of the larger schools. Already

says he was reasonably sure of sue
cess in the jumps and 220-yard dash,
having beaten the then existing rec
ords many times. with ease.
He was unable to compete in the
220, as the preliminaries were held
while the pole vault was in prog
ress. The time was 90 1-5, and after
it was over Cook offered to do the
distance in less. but this was refused
him. He has done the distance in
:Q2 2-5 here in practice.
For a boy who expects to be an ac-
complished all-round athlete, Cook
advises a set system of exercise and
training and the best care of the
body. He detests tobacco and liquor
of any kind. Enjoyment of the train
ing, he believes, has much to do with
his success. The preparatory work
is to him as pleasant as the thrill of
competition, and this he believes does
much to round him into condition,
both mentally and physically.
Cooks Ann Arbor records, which
will probably stand for some time in
interscholastic circles, are:
High jump, feet 10 inches.
Pole vault, 10 feet inches.
broad jump, % feet 7la inches.
110-yard dash, 10 1-5 seconds.
