Whether he will again represent the

HIS services viii undoubtedly be missed

OF the team IN the short distance events.
and was a consistent point winner IN the

He concluded the season with an excel

developed in a preparatory school For
three years he was the premier short
distance runner on the Central track
team, which at that time had a national
reputation. He probably won more medals
in competition during his course at the
Washington high school than any other
athlete OF his time. His most notable
feat was that OF equRling the worlds rec

complished at the indoor games Of the
