Boys AID High School met in the
much-talked-of TRACK meet. and al
though the eyents were rather one
sided, the different races were well
contested and eths visitors never
gave up trying. although they knew
at the start that they had no possi-
BILE chance Of defeating Rice & Co.
There was big crowd Of specta-
tors on the ground and as the
weather was ideal. a pleasant after
noon was spent watching the young
athletes at work.
The Columbia Boys were aware
that Rice, McCandlsss and Norton
could about win everything In sight.
but still they were satisfied to 60
along and do their best under the
circumstances. Raphael. although
not runner or jumper, was around
among the aads keeping up their
spirits and telling them to do their
best anyhow. And there is no de-
nying that the mainlanders did that,
for, In every event their men perse-
vered till the very end. z
The track is q heavy one. and the
wonderful figures---under the cir
cumstances-put up by Bill Rice In
the nifty and hundred-yard dashes
only go to convince everybody that
that young sprinter would make
some OF the worlds best runners sit
