waterloo entry Comprising as it. does
Rausch the sspninter, and Bob Miller.
The Ida Grove entry ALSO. has In its
roster one OF the exceptional athletes

placed in five events in some Of the
meets Of the year but it is doubtful II
he has good enough ability to land
high in any one event In the state
meet. aithot in; one meet he registered

flor the high hurdles, 20 45 for the
