this alarmist statement by saving that

TRACK men ARE
SHOWING CLASS

Although they had to run on a
slippery pavement owing to the poor
condition of the field, Sullivan and
Gorham, high school track team can
didates, made 100 yards yesterday
in II 3-5 seconds. These athletes are
the most likely candidates for places
on the squad that probably will be
entered in big meet at Duluth this
spring. Others who are trying out
for the dashes and long runs are
Rooney, Pribnow, Flieher and Mat
tila. They all are making a good
showing, travelling the 100-yard
course, which really measures 100,
around the 12-second mark. The
squad is making 220 in 20 seconds.
Virginia will enter men in six
events this year, the 100, 220, 44O and
$50 yard runs, besides the mile and
two mile relay
Lewis Stein, captain of last years
'ootball team, and corking track
nan, is expected to don his running
suit and join the squad this week
With STEMS coming out, the team
will receive big boost, Coach Blair
believes.
The track men will run the 100, 22O
and 440 yard events tonight. The
prospects for winning relay time are
bright.
