in the near future, will in all proba-
bility be pulled off next Saturday at the

Track athletics at all the high schools
are relaxed at present as most Of the in
door meets in which the high schools
enter annually are over, but as soon as

taken up with interest. Judging from
the excellent track material in all the
high schools this season. the most in
teresting race for first honors that has
been known to take place in this branch
of athletics for several years is easily
predicted.

played regular on short unless he shows
reversal of form. This shifts Kelly

out for the position at the third corner
Lee Martin, the erstwhie athlete of
Eastern High. has practically decided to
enter the University of Georgia in the
