HELD AT RESERVOIR PARK
Roland Greve Throws Discus 40
Feet, but Is Observation-Disclosures
son Wins High Jump.

Coach G. d. Corneal OF the Rock
Island high school has unearthed a
number of track and field finds for the
local cinder path team, and it is eX-
pected that some of the new men will
cop first places at the Big Eight and
state meets. At the first preliminary
try-out track meet last evening at the
Reservoir park these new men made
some good records and took a num-
Der of first places. The work of the
old men, stars of the past seasons, was
relegated to the shade by the spectac-
ular records of the green men.
Roland Greve, a 16-year-old giant of
6 feet, was the biggest surprise to
those who have not been following
the track team in its preliminary
training Greve, who is a senior of
the high school, took first places in
the shot and discus throws, and set
records for the high school interclass
meets. His ability to heave the shot
easily wins for him place on the
regular squad, and his work with the,
discus practically assures him a place
/ in the Big Eight meet. He won first
place in the shot put, with a heave
/ of 81 feet > inches, and took the first
honors in the discus with a throw of
/ SO feet Z inches. Greve can do bet
/ ter than that He proved it at the
meet last night, when he threw the
discus a distance of 10 feet, only to
have his record-breaking throw dis
qualified for stepping a half inch out
side the circle. His performances
easily featured the meet.
Good in High Jumps.
Glen Hendrickson, the freshmen
star, easily took the high jump, with
a leap of feet. That is not the best
he has done, for last year he cleared
the bar at a height of feet 4 inches,
and he will undoubtedly win medal
at the Big Eight meet at Galesburg on
May 1. Hendrickson also took third
place in the broad jump.
Mccullough, Hoffman and c. Whis-
Ter were some of the other finds of
Coach Corneal. and they are stars of
the hurdles and weights. Mccullough |
took a hard race in the S0-yard low
hurdle run against stiff gale in the |
fact time of 10 As seconds. James, an
other find, took second, while Hoff- |
man placed third in a close heat. |
Whistler took second in the shot put |
by a put of over Sc feet.
Although their work was over |
Swallowed by that of the new men, the |
old men were out in force with the |
exception of Kipp. He was not in his
old place breaking the tape in the 440 |
yard dash or in the sprints. Chalk cas-
lily took first in the mile. although /
theosurprise of the cross country run,
Frank Miller. by plucky sprint, push
ed him in the last % yards. The mile
run was negotiated in very slow time
and at no time did the star distance
man exert himsef. Ulysses Clark was
again the star of the cinder path and
he made the so yards in the fast time
of 3-5 seconds. ingalls, pushed him
hard the entire 80 and is responsible
for the fast time made. He crossed
the line almost as soon as Clark broke
the tape. Hippler failed to come up
to expectations and took fourth place.
Captain Will Glass is superin-
tending the work with the weights
and he took second place in the dis
Gus and broad jump. and third in the
shot put on the side. Thomas was
seen only in the quarter mile dash last
evening and he pushed Chalk to the
fast time of 80. Thomas made sec
ond place.
