We're far and few between Ca chs school
has quite a few entries in each event
this season, and for this reason the
competitions should be close and inter

by many who follow the track game be-
cause the O street lads are noted FOR
their track performances and give the
sport more attention and consideration

surprises might come off. Business has
been working hard all this season to turn
out a strong combination on the track.
but il is generally known that a we'll
balanced track team cannot be formed in
one season. The Stenographers are pre-
dicted TO give good account of them
selves, however. and at the same time
will get a line the material for next
season. when a better squad can be de-
veloped.
Technical will enter the spring games
this year under the leadership OF Walter
Thrall, who is one of the fastest men in
the short distances in the school. He
can also cover the quarter at a good clip.
The MachinistS have been handicapped
all season. having no place in which To
train. The school has many promising
track athletes enrolled but nothing can
be done toward training and developing
them. as no suitable indoor ualters can
be obtained around town during the win

which to train. Western is in the same
boat with Tech. These two schools should
club together next winter and land some
place in which to- develop the green ma
