has the speed by his excellent work
In the Class relay race run last fall.
DarroW has a rep" longer than his
frame and he is expected to get into
point winning condition.
In the two mile last year Armitage
ran the. gamest race seen on the Var
sity field in years With good condi-
ton he ought to win five points for
the Varsity with ease.
Low Hurdles.
If promising material is any critic
rion the nan who won this event last
year in 81 As seconds will have to
travel much faster in order to even
place. Dowd, Lansing, H. Molchior
STREET., Roman and Brown are hurdlers
of ability. DoWd ran third in last
years in~terscholastic and critics say
he has the making of a good hurdler.
Lansing showed well for the. local high
school in the same meet and would
probably have placed in the finals but
hit a hurdle in his preliminary. He
has the best form Of any of the
youngsters. Fol pretty hurdling Roman
is in a class by himself. Through the
efficient tutoring of Bob" Cary Roman
has overcome the hardest part of
%hurdling, that of taking the hurdle
on the run" which many hurdlers fail
to do. Last season he was unable to
get up speed between the jumps but
it is thought that with this years prac-
tice. along with former experience this
difficulty will be overcome. Herbert
Molchior, STREET and Brown are three
more Freshmen looking for honors in
ers Of the ~interscholastic record in
this event.
Hurdles.
Prospects in high hurdling are at pres
ent no so bright as in other events.
The only veteran is Roman who took a
second in last years meet with the
Aggies. Denhert, Tabor, Humphrey
and DoWd are training for the event.
Denhert beat the best that Fergus high
schoo could show in this event. Dowd
is a good low hurdler' and will he. de-
veloped for the high ones also. Tabor
has the height and reach and if he
has speed should be the class in this
event. Montana was annihilated in
this event last year, and it is the in
tention of Coach MUSTANG to apply the
proper stuff" to this sore spot.
High Jump.
From the outlook Montana must de-
pen upon Wolfe, Clements, Sewell,
Smead and Denhert to win the high
jump. Wolfe was ineligible to COM
pete last year SO little is known of his
ability. but his high school record
shows that it takes a jump Of five feet
six inches to beat him. AS to the rest
you must toss a coin for the best.
Weights.
The Varsity has always been practi-
cally unbeatable in the weights. In
fact Emmett Ryan's records in the
weight events are. mighty apt to fall.
Baron D~ornblaser, last years winner
in the shot-put will be in line again.
He is bigger, better and braWnier than
ever this year and is always ready to
give the best that he has. He will
have a dangerous rival in Ed. Craig
head. the Louisianan who gained his
form in tossing watermelons over a
15-foot fence. Craighead has already
been practicing with the discus which
he hurls with excellent form. big
Cliff Day is the star with the ham
mer. He also was ineligible to COM
pete last year On account of studies
is up at the present time. He
should win the hammer this season.
and STREET, freshmen, are also
juggling the weights.
Relay Team.
The meet with the University Of
Idaho calls for a mile relay to be run
by four men, each running a quarter
mile. Therefore Montana must de-
velop a strong team if they expect to
the honors from Idaho. The re-
is the prettiest and hardest race in
the category of athletic events. It is
the cream of all athletic events. There
Is more. real enthusiasm DISPLAYED. and
more honor attached to a relay race
any other event. The prospec-
tive material of the Varsity is prac-
tically unlimited, although most of it
is green, for the reason tina it is the
first time a relay has been scheduled.
