to be the favorite for the all-around
championship, there may be an upset.

most points in the senior division as
there are several first-class perform

marked ability on the indoor tracks
during the winter months. In junior
circles, however, Central will prob
ably meet with stiff opposition. and
the points scored by the junior ath-
letes of other schools will likely weigh
heavily in the final result.
