Polytechnic Strong
Los Angeles Polytechnic may possibly
win as Coach Thompson has been train
ing his men diligently for weeks past
in preparation for Saturdays events.
Poly has not as yet won q dual meet
with the local schools. but with the
experience gained should make brave
showing.
AS an instance of enthusiasm mani
tested relative to track events may be
cited an entertainment held yesterday
afternoon in the school auditorium by
Polytechnic talent for the purpose of
raising funds to send team north Tor
the Stanford contests to be held
March %.
Just what athletes may represent
Polytechnic has not been determined,
though results of Saturdays meet
should indicate the representative men.
There are several athletes, however,
who stand out prominently, judging
them by past season performances.
MacCready is the main stay of Poly
technio so far as the pole vault is
concerned. AS his clearance of ten feet
six inches has not been excelled by any
of the men entered against him, Poly
is hopeful of securing first place in
this event
I1OlllIeS is Oul lOI IllS lllllC I'll anu
the $50, though Lee of Harvard should
give him a strong argument.
Streeton and Robertson are expected
TO uphold Poly honor in the 220 and 440.
AS Goodwin, the Los Angeles High
school man, will not be out, the chances
of Polytechnic men in this event are
enhanced.
ticipate in the 100-yard dash, and if he
is barred Polytechnic will suffer ma
terially.
Lugo should get something in the 900
yard hurdles. Captain Robertson who
has not been defeated this year, is
asked to take the 120-yard hurdles and
any one heading him to the tape should
win over all.
Pomona High school will also make
a strong bid for the championship and
has several strong men who promise
to make things lively for the best of
their opponents.
Pomona Expectant
Floyd Lorbeer, team captain, and
brother of the we'll known Pomona col
lege mile runner, will undertake to win
the mile event for his school. AS he
is strong in the stretch and capable of
keeping a fast pace, there may be
trouble ahead for his competitors.
Buckles is husky fellow and will
loss the hammer. He threw the weight
$50 feet against Redlands, and the dis
tance is more than fair for a high
school performance.
Harvard Military, which has won the
relay race for the past three years, has
another strong team, and as the SOL
diers have always shown a disposition
to go the 440 route in spectacular style,
may take the laurels again.
