around ability Of the schoolboy per-
formers it may be noted that in all but
two events the half mile and the broad
jump. better records were set BY the
youngsters.
The meet is a forerunner Of the high
school championships to be held May
q. and. judging from the performances
in the event yesterday, this years af-
fair will be closer than was at first
thought. Central was conceded a grand
chance to win yesterdays meet. and
had the sprinters come through as well
as Wingate and Buehl, the winners OF
the high and broad jumps. Central
would have won.
Techs strength consisted mainly in
the performances of Monroe Sheehan
Harold Supplee. and Mobley, and 1t
would not be surprise to see the
Manual Trainers push the Blue and
White runners in the coming meet with
their stregth in the distance and field
events.
