POLY AND [. A. HIGH
MAY NOT COMPETE
Friction Arises Between Schools by
Reason of Splinter Leaving One
Institution and Joining
the Other

There is a possibility the track team Of Los
Angeles high school may not meet the Poly
technic team this year. Considerable fric-
ton is manifested between these two schools
at the present time because Robertson, the
22O-yard man who formerly was connected
with the Washington street school, has left
Poly to join the ranks of the hilltop institu-
ton.
A conference of the two rival captains was
held Yesterday and from the information OBJ
tanned it seems improbable the students of
these two schools will hold their annual track
contest.
Captain Chamberlain of Poly and Mcknight,
manager of L. A. highs track team, had a
heart-to-heart talk for several hours, trying
to bury the Ratchet, but nothing definite was
accomplished. Polytechnic objects to taking
part in a meet in which Robertson is to par
ticipate, while Mcknight says Robertson vol
UNFAIRLY went to the hilltop school and there
was no wire pulling whatever to secure him.
The meet is scheduled for February p, at
y. S. C.'s field.

Putting in Winning
Aggregations

CHAUFFEUR COMES INTO CAMP
UTTERLY EXHAUSTED
TWO OTHER MEMBERS OF LOST
PARTY FIND SHELTER
Large and Well Equipped Searching
Party Is on Track of Missing
Man and Full of
Hope
Especial to The Herald.1

JOHANNESBURG, Jan. 13.-R. r.
BashaW, the chauffeur Of the Williams
party that was lost in the mountains.
Was brought into johannesburg late
TINS afternoon. He was greatly ex-
hausted by his Wanderings and was not
able OF give a clear account of what
mad happened, but it is believed he will
recover.
rave fears are entertained as to the
fate of d. Y. A. Williams, who had not
been found at last accounts. The
weather, although cold, has been wet
and windy, and unless he has succeeded
IN hnd1ng shelter it will have gone hard
with him, apart from the question of
food and water supply.
BashaW's account is that if was
agreed that he should go for help, and
that he left Williams all the food and
water. Bashaw succeeded in reaching
a camp In the Slate range, where he
met an old prOspector named Dusty
Roads. They set out to look for Will
hams, but could not find him. He evil
IDENTIFY had grown weary Of waiting, as
they discovered a note by him in which
he stated he was going eastward Such
a course would take him into desert
country where the chance of his meet
ing any one or procuring shelter would
be extremely slight.
DIR. Sabichi returned to Randsburg
last night and said the party that left
the night previous had found Williams
tracks, and he evidently had been wan
dering about vaguely. He stated, how
ever, that there was a large party in
the immediate neighborhood well equip
ped with wagons, horses and all the
needed supplies, and that they expected
shortly to find the missing man.
1t now appears that there were i've in
the prty when it left Daggett, two
others whose names have not been
learned being reported as having wan
dered into Ballarat in pitiful csndi-
ton as the result of their wandelings
in search of water.
