Falls Chances Bright
Great Falls chances for Friday are
brighter than ever, according to Opin
ions voiced by coaches and trackmer
from all parts of the state. However
there are sc many men from small anl
large towns who are showing up this
| year as dark horses that accurate pre-.
| dictions actually amount to nothing but
guesswork.
About 1900 university students
MissOulians and roOters from all parts
of the state attended the first session
of the meet Thursday afternoon. The
track is in perfect condition, but q
chilly wind from the south tended to
slow up times in many races. Taking
into consideration such conditions, rec
ords established are nothing to sneer
at.

was a feature of the days program,
having captured 10 points, the total
made by the two-man team from that
school. His record and possibilities
place him in high line for individual

watch is to be given.
