500 TRACK men
COMPETE TODAY
IN SECTIONAL
Richmond High Represented
by Strong Team at District
Meet at Connersville.

V4OOl at NOllllOI , VIC
Seyenty-nine High schools with over
500 track athletes entered the compe-
tition in the sixteenth annual section
al meets at nine points in the state,
Saturday. Richmond High school,
Rushville. Connersville, Newcastle,
Liberty, Martinsville, Shelbyville,
Cambridge City and Greenwood were
the schools to compete at Corners
vile.
The other district centers are An
derson, Bloomington, Charlottesville,
Indianapolis, Danville. Kendallville,
Logansport and South Bend. A total
Of 70 teams are entered at the various
centers.
Sectional meets must necessarily be
slightly different from basketball tour
neys as larger number of boys COM
pete and more schools enter in one
event. Instead of having the school
winning the district track meet with
the largest number of points parti-
cipate in the state meet which will be
held at Reid field, Earlham College,
the following Saturday, it is possible
for every one of the seventy-nine
schools to be represented at the state
meet. Winners of firsts and seconds
in the sectionals will be eligible to go
to the final meet This means that
there should be eighteen men in each
event at the state classic held here
next Saturday and WHY cause an elm
nation process to be adopted before
the finals can be run off.
Former Records May. Stand
Records made at district meets to-
day will not take the place OF any
state record as none will be counted
for that purpose until next Saturday.
The records are now SO good that
they will be hard to beat. However.
some man in high school has managed
to beat previous state track record
for the last three years. In 1918,
Trotter, of New Salem, broke the mile
record, establishing time for that dis
lance of MINUTES, 80 is seconds In
1917, four new records were made

Allison of Richmond High school,
established two records in the state
meet in 1909 which have held for ten
years. There are only five state re-
cords older than those of Allison. He
won the 120 yard hurdles in Is Is

IS 4-5 seconds
Predicting the winners of the dis
trict meets is almost impossible. Rich

state meet will be strong next week
after the sectional meets are over and
some comparative doping can be done
