TRACK SQUAD
IN THIN CARB
STARTS TRIALS
SPORTS AND ATHLETICS

The 1916 track and field season of
the Richmond high school opened aus
piciously last night, when large
squad of the thinly-clads took to the
cinders and field for the initial work
out of the season
Despite the fact that many prom
Using track men were with the basket
contingent and could not appear for
the first workout, Coach Nohr was
well pleased with the turnout and with
the material on hand, and can see
nothing whatever but a winning track
crew for the r. H, S.
Every member of the large squad on
deck last night displayed an abund-
ance of pep, and ''thusm" was the
watchword.
Nohr Plans Campaign.
Coach Nohr has decided on a sys-
tematic track and field campaign for
his athletes this spring, and with the
added incentive of the state sectional
meet proposition. has the backing OF
every athlete in school.
The team this year will be veter-
an one. Davis, Mcguire, Long, Dol
Inns. Wilson. Letter, Brumley, Krich,
Smith. Morel, Morris, Shelton, Brown,
Meranda, Pitts, White and Tomlinson
are a few of the old reliables.
Material for the dashes and middle
distance events is plentiful. Johnny
Meranda, H. Brown, Pitts, Letter and
Gardner are short distance possibili-
ties In the middle distance events.
Harold Norris and Lester Letter seem
good bets. Norris, who acquired a
track reputation in the recent 'Y'' in
door meet, will prove valuable man
if eligibility rules do not keep him off
the squad.
The weight events will be well taken

MODOC SUFFERS
FIRST DEFEAT:
LAN|NC STARS
Richmond, IS; Modoe, is.

Cap Brown and his crew of rejuvi-
mated r. II. s. all-sar basketball war
riors made a Ford march into the
camp of Modoc high. just over the
boundary into Randolph county last
night, and, after pitched battle dur
ing which a large quantity of real
basketball was on tap, routed the op-
posing forces.
1t was the first game Modoc high
has lost this season. The Randolph
county five, which is rated the peer of
anything in this section of the state,
had won eight consecutive games. 1t
had intended to finish up the season
auspiciousIy by defeating Richmond
Lanng Fills Hole.
The high team that represented
Richmond last night was shy two
varsity members. AL Laning, veteran
r. II. s. pivoteer, was at center in
place of Rus Parker, who taking no
chances on his eligibility for next year.
w. Meranda, local high school let
ter man, played Porter's position.
At start of play it was evident that
Richmond was to have trouble. The
first half was close from start to fin
ish and while the Quakers led from the

down the floor and located one, It was
the hardest kind OF task to keep
lead. The half closed, 81, Richmond.
Richmond Comeback" in the final.
The size OF the floor and the style of
play used by the enemy was such that
one scoring system worked for Rich
mond. With AL Laning and his ex-
cessive length encamped under the
Modoc goal and with the rest Of the
team feeding the ball, it was case of
goodnight Modoc. Laning scored
nine field baskets by this system in
the final round.
It is probable that NJ. Fl. s. will be
brought to Richmond for a return
game.

That many school children are be-

stipated through parents oversight, is
startling fact. brought to light by
recent investigation by school authori-
ties. Hastily snatched meals so that
there will be more time to play, the
use of ready-to-eat cereals. and the
general neglect of the call of nature
are given as principal causes.
1t is the duty of mothers to see that

NEW YORK. March 25.-Jess Will
ard and Frank Moran today eagerly
await the bang of the gong that will
send them into their ten round bat
tie tonight in Madison Square Garden
before a crowd beyond 10000.
Before the bells toll the midnight
hour new chapter will be written in
the history of pugilism; one that may
tell how a new champion was made. or
how the present one clearly establish
ed his right to be called the king of
ring warriors.
Or will it be a chapter that tells of
a fiasco, that recounts how two men
staged a burlesque on a padded mitt
contest and collected for their efforts
the biggest purses ever doled out for
n ten round exhibition.
Who can tell?
Both men are trained to the minute.
Neither can alibi a defeat with lack
of condition" Approximately four
weeks of training for both have hard
ened their bodies until they seem able

each man confidently predicts that he
will score a knock out victory over
the other.
