fore il becomes the property of n
team.
The Western Slope coaches have
eliminated the 40 yard run, maintain
ing that il is too strenuous for high
school boys. They have substituted a
so yard dash in its stead. Coach
krauso is not in favor of the elimina-
ton or substitution. He takes the view
that il is merely a local agitation
against the event, which is sanctioned
by both the A. A. U. and the All-West
High School association. II is the
most brilliant event of a track meet,
and is not nearly as strenuous as the
mile run. II requires q better brand
Of training and coaching A so yard
dash is not test of ability at all, as
in the short runs the real test comes
after the first so yards.

held April s, week from tomorrow.
I his viii be the first real test of abili-
Is for this years track men. Five
