GOING STRONG.

nual hVe mile relay race In winch
forty boys participated the Crafts
man Club won over the B. A. c.
Ag. Club by easily one hundred
, yards. The first two miles of the
race were decidedly interesting,
first one club and then the other TAX
ing the lead. In the third mile,
however, the Craftsman's Club got
a nice lead, on one of the Aggies
taking sick, and they held that lead
throughout the race. This race is
to be an annual affair between the
two clubs.
The track and field meet which
is to be held between the two clubs
will be pulled off just as soon as
weather permits. 1t has been post
poned now for a week due to wind
snow and cold weather in general.
The Aggies in this meet are very
much the favorites.
Coach Christensen Of the B. A. G.
has been trying for the past three
or four weeks TO arrange for several
dual track and field meets in which
his boys could get real experience
in inter-school competition, and too,
such meets would tend materially
in keeping alive track and field in
terests. But it seems our neighbor-
ing schools, north and south of us
lack the life, courage, experience,
interest and other things which go
to develop the best kind of sports
manship. Parowan High is not do
ing anything in spring sports, not
even going to enter any men in the
Division track and field meet. The
fact that they were thrown out Of
! basket ball competition due to play
, ing ineligible men seems to have
knocked them dead. Murdoch A
rademy failed to take even one
first place in last years Division
, meet and took but one second, and
it seems they have no courage for
. further competition in track and
field events. AT least there is no
l response to any offer or challenge
the B. A. c. has made. Dixie
E Academy has no reasonable reason
for not meeting the B. A. c. either
there or here, or in both places, on
ly they do not want to. And we
!, have right good idea as to why
; they do not want to. And we think
Y it shows lack of experience and
3 craftsmanship.
: The weather the past month has
not been conducive to the best kind
e of track and field training, but out
d of the large number of boys who are
y trying for a place on the team are
: quite a number who are performing
admirably. Henry Webster, cap
tain of the team and high point
{ winner in last years State meet
i is doing better than eleven feet ir
> the pole vault, 5 feet 8 inches in the
: high jump, over 20 feet in the
, broad jump, and over los feet in
:, the discus. Grant Hunter is do.
, ing the hurdles with speed and
style, over l35 feet with the javelin
over 20 feet in the broad Jump, and
is throwing the discus around l0C
feet. Otto Fife is performing very
nicely on the pole vault and 440 yd.
r run. Leo Palmer is showing bush
/ els of speed and form on the 220 &
40 yd. runs. Lee Esplin, until he
t injured his left leg in broad jump,
. was showing a bit of the smooth
, est, incest, fastest form and move
= ment seen on the b. A. G. track in
: the past number of years. Lees
specialties are the 100 and 220 yd.
: daShes, Andrew Cory, Art Car
= Penter and Cecil Adams are some
: more new men doing we'll in the 100
= and 220 yd. runs. Orion DALEY
= and Anthem Lunt are doing won
derfully well in the high jump and
moderately well in the broad jump,
r javelin and hurdles. Douglas
Clark, Rulon Esp1in, VIM. Wood,
r. Ence. Thiel Durham and 9th
ers are very promising runners in
1 the one-half and one mile runs and
will make a right good showing for
their school. Karl Knell is the big
hope in the shot put and 440 yd
D run. Cleo Williams and Clement
e Pollock are two more new men do
