Arthur c;oldstetn. OF Commercial High
School, Brooklyn. who failed 10 place in
-
ehipe. came into his own last week at the
Poly Prep meet and romped away TO an
easy victory In the Junior 2:o0' IN "a S-6
seconds This equalled the record estab-
iished by Engles. his schoolmate, and broke
the meet record held by Bill Mccartney,
OF Brooklyn Prep, by 16 seconds.
Miller is the champion hard luck runner
O, the ason. A srittier or gamer boy
never wore the spikes but he was beaten
for the gold medals. His rallies In the
Barnard and Poly meets tell Of his cour-
age, and he certainly carries the good
wishes Of those who have seen him run.
Kleinert, Of Poly Prep. who played on the
eleven last fall. is making good on the
track team this year. In the Barnard and
Poly meets Keinert won points in the shot
which leads experts on athletics to predict
q rosy future for him.
Considerable enthusiasm was aroused by

made the record five years ago. but it has
syfthstood the assault Of some Of the speed
sest runners in scholastic ranks.
The former mile record Of the Public
School Athletic League has been broken
four times within the last month. In the
Manual Training meet, held on January 7.
Fred Woodcock romped the distance in AZ.
William Van Tuyl OF Passaic High School.

IN 4:45 at the Barnard meet. Woodcock
won the mile at the Poly meet In <:45 10.
and the critics were satisfied that he could
run q little Van Tuyl however. was loath
