that this strong young schoolboy will
set marks from 220 up to 1000 yards

1t was not until 1910, az q student
at the Williamson Trade School, near
Philadelphia, that James Edward
(Tsd'') Meredith discovered he could
run when he entered the interscholastics
and won the quarter and the bali, and
be ran the quarter in 81 is, which is

injured in football game and had to
forego athletics for year After his
discovery of himself through winning the
mtersohoiastic quarter and half in 1910
he was again injured in football game
and contracted water on the knee, which
kept him out OF athletics in 1911.
In 1872, the same year in which his
Olympic triumphs made him known
throughout the whole sporting world,
Meredith entered Mercersburg Academy,
where bis real development began. He
got his first record soon after entering
Mereersburg, establishing a new inter
