GARY H. s.
HAS So MEN
ON THE JOB

Gary high school has taken time by
the forelock and has 35 men working
hard for the coming county contest.
Since Hammond's ten star track men
have gone to war the chances are that
Gary will cop the bacon this year.
Sold is the captain of this years
team and will be the best point getter
Sold is a man who will be classed with
Hake John Wicks and such, in the eth-
Ietic history of Gary. He is an all
around athlete in the truest sense or
the word. track and football having
been his specialties-
Track men out this year at Emerson
who look best are these. Captain Sold
in the half mile, the quarter and the
broad and high jumps, John Kyle in
the weights. Dewey johnson in the high
and low hurles. Marvin Taylor in the
half mile. BowIby in distances. Harold
Cogley in sprints and broad jumps. and
John CoyIe in the sprints
There were thirty-fve, men out the
first night of practice. Coach Gilroy
thinks that there is a large amount OF
good material in this bunch.
II the ability is there. Coach GiIroy
is the man to make it appear. The ex-
cellent track work done by all Gary
teams heretofore was due in a large
measure to Coach Gilroy's ability as a
coach of track men.

full in the history of roller skating in
the state of Indiana and brought to-
gether the greatest aggregation of anna
teur skaters in the state At the gun
Kuse took the lead and set wonderful
pace. with Andy Spisak a close second.
This lasted for several laps but John
Spisak who got away in fourth position
was working both head and legs. He
gradually worked his way to second po-
sition and by a wonderful sprint he
forged his way to the front. four laps
from home and. held 1t, finishing 8
scant two feet in front of the second
man.
The race was so close that the first
four men were in the stretch together
at the finish. Daley who has been look
ed mas dangerous man in this meet
played in hard luck. as he fell early III
the race and couldn't get going again
quick enough to get back into the field.
Frank Palo who took fifth prize made
his first appearance in fast company
and will bear watching.
The management is glad to have this
opportunity to thank their friends for
the interest displayed and also wish To
thank the Lake County Times for the
general support given the meet
A further treat is in store for the
fans as a five mile team race with five
teams competing is slated for next Sat
