RICHMOND MEDAL
AGAIN IN SNARL

Owing to an accident in the 220-yard
hurdles at yesterdays S intermountain
scholastic track meet the Fred c..
Richmond medal for the best all-around
athlete at the local high school may
again come into tho 'limclight. The
medal, which is of solid gold. is the
most valuable adorDment offered in the
state, and curious enough its award has
always been contested.
Five years ago when the Richmond
medal was presented for the first timey
George Atkins, the classy Red and
Black trackman, was the lucky reelp-
| track work was claimed by Frank
Wheeling whose remarkable all-roupd
record stamped him as the best husky
| on the west side campus.
The next year no medal was award
ed, for some unknown reason, but
| wheeling was again the strongest con-
tender, Three years ago Roy Mcintyre
and Harvey Ward were the chief con-
tenders. That year Ward made every
hrst team in school athletics and was
accredited the best all-rouud performer
Mcintyre was favored by the awarding
committee, however. because Of his
scholastic standing, the committee hold
ing that this entered into consideration
Mcintyre had played on every team but
did not make any count on the track
squad. while Ward made points in the
22Q-yard hurdles.
Last year the prize was given tc
Carl Olson, Ward q teammate. and cap
tain elect OF the football eleven. Ward
mad been barred from track partioipa
tion on alleged ineligbility, but had
played on the basketball Ave, football
and baseball teams. Olson had played
on the football. baseball and track
squads but took no part In basketball
