LAST TRACK WORK
Local High Cinder Artists in
Trim for Big Meet To-
morrow at N. D.

Local high athletes took their
last workout on Cartier field
az Notre Dame university, be-
fore their appearance in the
the northern Indiana meet. which is
scheduled for the same field tomor-
row afternoon, beginning at 1890
o'clock About 1000 or more Wis
itors are expected in the city.
This years meet is the 18th an
nual one and from the records left
behind, South Bend has had it's
share of victories, shields. cups and
other trophies For the past two
occasions. South Bend has COPIED
the meet, barely winning out over
Gary and Elkhart last season, while
the relay team copied the shield
the year before. when they estab-
lished the present record.
Over $50 Eentered.
In tomorrow's meet over 80
youths will perform and the en-
tries show the cream Of this district
TO be in action. Foremost among
these TO receive attention from the
experts present will be the local
captain and star distance runner,
"Hic" Sweeney. He has appeared
several times this year. but has not
done much in the mile as yet, OWNS
to a severe cold, which has been
bothering him for some time. AS
"Hic" now holds the northern In
diana record in the mile. and 1t is
sure to stand for some time, he
plans to go out for the half mile
mark of 2:O5, now held by Hake OF
Gary, and made in 1911.
Probably outside of Sweeney no
other athlete will receive as much
attention. unless il should be An
drus, another local star. Andy"
will appear for the first time this
year and he is expected TO cop off
the high hurdles. do something in
the shot and pole vault, and also
the high jump. He is expected to
be individual point winner of the
meet. Jaycox of Plymouth, in the
weights, and Cook in the half mile,
are Plymouth's most formidable rep
resentatives.
The Dark Horses.
Gary high, along with Hammond,
are expected TO be the dark horses
of the meet, as their material is all
of unknown quantity, they only hav-
ing engaged in dual meets this sea-
son. Sold Of Gary, is expected TO
show up big in the 100 and 800
yard dashes. Kreuzberger of the To-
Gals should be right on his heels in
the hundred. with Armstrong Of
Laporte coming in for his share of
the honors.
In MagnusOn, Hampson and Wea-
YER, Laporte is assured Of 2 number
of points which should make her a
dangerous rival of the locals. Wee
yer. for a high school athlete. Is
a phenomenal performer, as he has
leaped a height which many college
jumpers have not reached. He is
claimed by his LapOrte hackers to
be able TO make feet, 10 inches
on Saturday. He won the jump last
season and should cop it easily
again.
Look for Close Relay.
The relay is expected to be a close
event with South Bend, Gary and
Plymouth fighting It out for first
place. The holding OF the meet will
enable the Notre Dame officials TO
look the best athletes over and
possibly induce then to hang their
spikes" at the local university
