Casey 600" to Feature
Big Meet Next Saturday
in 18th Regiment Armory
By Jack Masters

The Casey" family is scheduled to
"step out" next Saturday night. The
occasion is the annual games of the
local chapter of the Knights of Colum-
bus and the place is the 18th Regiment
Armory, in Harlem. Athletic stars
entered and it is believed that the meet
will be the most successful ever held
by the Knights. The entry record of
last year has been surpassed and the
cahber of the competitions is unusually
good.
There are nine open events, but the
feature is the Casey 600" in which a
fine field of runners will toe the mark.
Here is the list: Jack Sellers. 66o-yard
metropolitan champions; Frank Murrey,
600yard national champions Jake Dris-
coll, worlds record holder for 500
yards; Tom King, the New England
600-yard title holder; Joe Higgins, New
York A. c., and Tom O'Rrien, Of Yale.
With this sextet in action there
should be no lack of thrills, for any
one of the lot iss capable of winning.
Murrey the former Princeton football
star, should have a slight edge on the
balance of the field if he is in top form,
but the result will depend largely upon
the tactics used by the individual
starters.
Sellers Hard to Beat
If Sellers gets away fast he will be a
hard man to overhaul, and the same
goes for Joe Higgins O'Brien and
Driscoll, particularly the latter, are
crafty boys on the boards, and they are
always full of running, no matter how
far back they may be on the bell lap.
King is not so we'll known in metro
politan circles but if he was good
rionship he should be able to make
things interesting sor the local boys.
Next in Importance to the 1000" is the
Catholic College relay race, In which
teams from Georgetown, Fordham
Brooklyn, Boston and other colleges are
expected to compete. Pat Mcdonald,
the Olympic shot-put champion; Wal
! ter Whelan, former national high jump
title holder; Eddie Garvey, twomilc
! "met" champion, and host Of other
| stars will start in their favorite events
The five-mle road race held a week
ago to-day by St Marys Catholic
Union, the Bronx. was one Of the great

Coach Bruce Lauds Higgins
Coach Harold Bruce Of the Lafayette
I College track team is another expert
who believes that Walter Higgins, the
| sensation of the present indoor season
will smash the one-mic record at the
games of the intercollegiate A. A.
"After watching Higgins in the recent
rational championships said Bruce
the other day. 81 an convinced that he
will do 1916 in the college champion
ships next summer"
Higgins has all TIE carmarks of the
greatest miller ever developed IN this
country.
