.CINDER SCORCHERS
OF QUAKER SQUAD TO
FACE STIFF CARD

Coach Ray B. Movie. of Earlhanl,
has announced that he has some real
treats in store this spring for the
local followers OF the cinder path
and turf. Although his track schedule
is still subject of some changes, there
is little doubt that this springs squad
faces one of the stiffest list of en-
counters that Quaker track team
has faced for years.
Aside from the usual number of l.
c. A. L. meets, Move has booked
some teams that will test the calibre
of the quakers to the utmost.
Perhaps heading the list in import
ance is the pending clash with Indi-
ana university here on April 16.
While the contracts for the date have
not been signed it is an open date for
both schools, and Move is trying hard
to close the deal.
Indiana Strong.
The l. U. team never fails to make
a name for itself in track circles, and
should prove a good drawing card
for the opening encounter A victory
over the Crimson would give the To-
Gals a flying start on what promises
to be a successful season.

The teamwork of the Detroit pro-

their shots being taken from the cen

led in the scoring with six points each.
