1t has been decided that Cony High
school will not have any track team
for this year. as was previously
planned. The chief difficulty seems
TO be the lack of a coach, for Coach
Wandtke is unable to coach the men
on account of his time being so well
occupied in attending to his duties at
the school and in coaching the base
ball team. A lack of interest in the
matter was also apparent among the
students of the school.
