ON CENTRAL CARD
Coach Anderson Plans Big Spe-
cial Event for Annual In

HALF-MILE ESPECIAL" TOO

/
| be two special events at the annual
| indoor games of the local school to
be held at the First Regiment
| Armory. One event will bring to-
! gether at a mile two all-star relay
teams of this city and New York.
The Newark team would probably be
made up of Frank Lagay, Edward
| Pritchard, Hal Heiland and W. r.
| Granger. Just who will make up the
| New York all-star team is not
| known, but 1t is believed that the
| foremost runners will be grought to-
| gether. The other special event WILL
be at a half-mile and will bring to-
| gether Homer Baker, TED Meredith
and Abel Kiviat. These runners have
not signed as yet, but according to
| the Central High School officials the
chances are that they will be seen in
action
A race between this trio at the half
mile distance would undoubtedly
prove the banner attraction of the
season in this city. Kiviat, Meredith
and Baker are attracting the attention
| of the athletic world at the present
time. In the Irish-American games
| held recently in Madison Square Gar
| den, New Fork, Kiviat only managed
| to beat out Meredith by few inches.
At Boston last week Meredith defeat
ed Homer Baker.
/ Just as soon as a date is set for the
| Central games entry blanks will be
sent out to practically every high
and prep. school of note in this State
and New York. 1t is probable that
| the games will be held during the
month of February. Some time ago
it was announced that there would
| be no special events, but coach Ander-
son has taken q different view of the
games and will make efforts to have
some of the leading runners of the
country on hand.
