Granite teams will meet, Ind Manager
Cain has not completed arrangement.
for the following Saturday, Callahan
has been on the campus twice week
but during the remainder of the time he
VIII be with the squad. Although every
thing favors the school, hard work is
the only thing that VIII win out in the
end, aud practice each afternoon VIII
not slack up in the lcnst. The train
ing rules that were installed at the
opening OF the season by Capt, KarriclS
arc StlIl in force. and it viii be neces-
sary for the boys to keep in the best
OF trim.
The Olympic meet, at which time
the best all-rouud athletes in the school
will be selected and presented with
the Fred c. Richmond medal. is without
doubt, the big factor in ,hc success OF
the track squad. The boys have seen IA
design of the medal. and have worked
hard TO make try for it, Al the first
of the season the probable winner of
had q chance, but lately the work Of
George Atkins has been superior to
has tcam-matcs. There is considerable
talk among the heads OF the asso-
clat.on that II silver medal will be
given to the second best athlete. and
If this is carried out. the fight for su.
premacy will strengthen the competi-
tion.
Boys Make Fast Time.
For a time only few OF the events
looked pleasing, but now the majority
will more than likely be captured by
the school The sprints were doubtful.
doomed In both the century spring and
the 220-yard DASH IN the class meet
aud the dual meet with Ogden, Atkins
broke both of the state records His
time IN the 100 was 10 10. which is
the fastest time for the distance since /
the time of Judscn. Moore has held the !
220 record for almost ten years at
- nat, but 10 of second was clipped !
off by Atkins last Saturday. AS a
sprlnter he is a wonder, but he does not
stop here, for he has lowered the high |
jump record. and has surpassed the |
mark made last year in the shot put. |
he has cleared the bar at feet 6 |
inches. and has tossed the twelve pound |
lead 391a feet. His high mark in the
broad jump IS over 10 feet.
The quarter-milc is being left to Dee
Stone, and Gordan Kirby. who are 90.
ing the distance in record time. The
two long runs will be handled by Frank
Wheeling and McCabe. who are
booked to take first aud second places
IN both efcntS. McCabc is strong in
The half and Wheeling in the mile.
The pole vault is still doubtful, but Cal.
ahan states that he has a man who
yill clear 10 feet in the state meet.
3casley is doing good work, and is
closely followed by II. Romncy and
Roderic!S Korns. The hurdles are doubt
'ul, and considers bic time will be spent
IN this event III order to develop a
itrong man. Rcve Richardson. George
sadler, Lon Romney and Wartman are
WORKING for the event. The hammer
vlll be left TO Capt. Lewis Karrick
md Rodrlck korps. who are throwing
t over l20 feet. The relay will be the
'est the school has ever had, and with
nut doubt the fastest team that has
yer represented school in the state
