Grace of Business certainly made good
on the track In the closed meet Business
held. Saturday. He finished second on
the list of point winners. proving him

nographers appear to have picked up a
good man In Grace, as he is also very
familiar with the basket ball game. Judg-
ing from the interest Business showed
in this closed meet. II would not be al
all surprising to see the Stenographers
experience this year the best season or
the track known to the Rhode Islam,
avenue school.
Technical High will be coached on the
diamond again this season by Charlie
King. He turned out a worthy aggrega

Western is scheduled TO line up on the
basket ball floor with Business High this
afternoon for the first time this season
The Stenographers are the favorlte team

the Business track men in this event.
Business Is out working in track ath-
