TRACK TEAM MAY

The track team which will repre-
sent the Grand Junction high school

next Saturday has been selected and
consists of Rhone, Murray. Craun,
Sills and Peck. This will be the
classiest bunch that ever have rep

over the outcome and stated this

The men at this time are in bet

before and have established some

state time. In connection with the
western slope track meet, II is only
fair to say that The Sentinel is mis-
informed when the blame for the nom
arrival of invitations was laid at the
door of the Montrose high school.
The Montrose school did ask the local
team to be present but it takes a ma
iority of the western slope schools
to admit a team. Four have replied
in the affirmative. Gunnison. Hotch-
kiss, Montrose and Ouray. while Del
ia and Olathe have replied in the
negative and Telluride and Paonia
remain to be heard from. In case
either of the two latter reply favor
ably Grand Junction will be admit
ted. Twenty-eight schools have al
