meet against Pomona college at Clare
mont Saturday. The showing made by
the hilltop track squad in recent track
meets gives them great encouragement

year.
Robertson, the fast hurdler, quarter
miller and relay man, may not compete
in tomorrow's meet. as he sustained a
painfully sprained leg while in the in
terclass meet at Occidental college.
The loss of Robertson will be keenly
felt by the hilltop team, as it was ex-
pected he would be one of the point
winners for his school.

to be one of the fastest men in the
county high school league, will hold his
own in this event. Giessler and Cad

athletes will enter in the 220-yard dash.
