has made arrangements for a dual
meet with Lawrence High of Fair

meet to have occurred at Capital

and not hearing until nearly 1 o'clock
he made plans to be in Fairfield on
Tuesday and not in Augusta.
Conservatively speaking, the track
team Of Cony has this year had a
very successful season, for which no
small amount of credit is due to the
earnest and efficient efforts of Coach
Merrill. A track man himself, he
has been the able moulder of the
Crimson squad into a product which
has brought laurels to Cony, and
though he does not see it, reflects
great credit to himself. A gentleman.
he has instilled. in addition to SIM
pie athletic development, fine sense
of fair play and clean sport which
has been as great an asset to the
team as it's mere prowess. Ask about
it and the response is that Ibis heart
is in his work as well as his body.">
