An effort IL heing made To bring about
so.callcd Olympic relay race hntN cen
teams from Roys High school and Manual
| Training. The idea OF the race Is to have
the distance increased In each relay and thus
to have distance men as we'll "a sprinters
on the team. The first man ruus o?O Yards
the second, 40 Yards; the third man. a
hali mile, and the fourth man, a mile.
such a race between the two schools
mentioned should he very close and IN
teresting. since there are good men
In each distance ia both institutions. For
the 2,0 yards Manual has sanford the
p. s, A. 1. champion NJ that distance, and
against ErH Roys' High would nj Taylor,
who il also n fast man in the sprints Cor
2ens, the quarter mile p. =, A. L. champion.
would represent Manual for the second
! relay, and raul O'I.eary Of Boys Hilh
would run agains' him. O'Ieary's best
work is in the hurdles, but he is good
quarter miller SNYDER would be Manual =
best man for the half mile and Van Riper
OF Boys High is his equal II not HE gu.
perior at that distance. HussinR IL Manu-
ais fastest miller, and Ma or OF Boys High
Is the best man among the high schools
In the distance runs.
Manual undoubtedly would have the
better OF the race In the sprlnts. but It Is a
question as to whether she could gain q
sufficiently long lead in these relays to
prevent Boys High from catching her in
the longer distances. The race probably
will be held as feature at one OF the indoor
school games.
