Few Athletes Out
For Western Track

Displaying the same determined spirit
that they did when preparing for the
1911 football season, Western High
School athletes are making the best OF
what little material there Is at that
institution. Coach Curly Byrd is In
charge of the athletes across the creek
and Is now holding daily practice after
school hours. Although the training has
barely begun, the youngsters are al
ready showing much form and they can
tant in the events which they enter a
hard struggle for supremacy.
Manager Eiker has not yet made any
decision regarding entries in the George
Washington meet, but is thought that
representation from Western will be
seen in the dashes and sprints.
Meyers and Rock have displayed mutt
ability in the +0yard dash and un'
doubtedly they will represent the Rec
and White in the scholastic events o.
the Federal meet. Fuller and Wylit
are Westerns long distance, these ath
letes being able to do the mile to the
entire satisfaction of Coach Byrd anC
Captain Burrows.
Loomis and Captain Burrows are
showing great speed as short-distanc'
athletes, the 220-yard dash being cas-!
for these athletes. 1t Is thought tina
before the indoor track season is ia
advanced, more material Will come Ou
at Western for the various events. Few
of the football boys are out and wha
baseball material there is, is playing
basketball.
