Great Concern at. Fari-
bault School.

Special to The Journal.
Faribault, Mimi, Feb. 10.-Track
talk already is heard at Shattuck and
Coach j. A. Foster and his cadets are
looking with longing eyes at the honors
to be won in the Minnesota Athletic
and at the big spring meet
at Chicago.
Brain is the man upon whom Foster
pins his hopes and Brain s ankle is the
all.absorbing topic of conversation
among the followers of the track game.
If Brain can get in shape, Foster is
confident that he will be able to carry
off the honors at the western interschol-
astic meet to be held in Chicago in
June, as he already holds the Shattuck
and state records in both high and low
hurdles. Coach Foster is confident that
Brain is not near his limit at that, but
is capable of great improvement. All
now depends on whether or not his in
iured ankle, which has kept him off
the basketball team, will recover suf-
fciently to permit him to get out for
track work this spring.
The athletes who are certain of being
on the team are Kipp,y who holds the
school and state conference records in
the 100 and 4oO-yard dashes; Capron,
who holds the school and state confer
ence records in the shot put; Morris
and Blanding, who hold the Shattuck
records in the half and mile runs; Full
lerton, who ran in the winning relay
team in last years conference meet;
and Hippee, who made a good showing
| last year in the half mile. . ...
