Handicap Attracts Interest.
Considerable interest is being mani-
tested over the outcome of the 440-
yard handicap A. A. u. race to be
held at the New Jersey State High
and Preparatory School indoor State
championships. under the auspices of
the Central High School Athletic As
ISOLATION at the First Regiment ARM
DRY, January 81. Frank Lagay, the
former Central High School quarter
miller who is now attending Dart
mouth College; William Kelly who
finished second to Mel Sheppard In
the I. A B. s. athletic games and
Hal Holland, the local boy who
nnrfc he ed Of he
of Manhattan, are expected to be
among the starters.
Many are of the opinion that Kelly
could have beaten Lagay when the
latter ran for the local school, Kelly
has been looked after by Harry
Coates, who is very enthusiastic over
Kelly's chances. The way Kelly ran
in the r. A. B. S. meet would indi-
cate that Lagay would have to go
some in order to accomplish a win.
With Kelly, Lagay and Holland in
the quarter distance the trio, who
practically make their home in this
city. will undoubtedly command the
attention of local followers.
Bsrringer Five VS.. Central.
