20 ISLANDERS
WIN SPURS IN
TRACK TRYOUT
Annual Meet OF High Schools Sehed-
uled for Saturday Night In
Augie Gym.
BY ART WILLIAMS.

Twenty representatives of the
Rock Island high school, for par
ticipation in the quad-city indoor
track meet. to be held Saturday
night at 1880 in the Augustana gym,
were selected last night in the try
outs held on the college oval. The
crimson and gold, as well as Dav-
export, Moline and East Moline VIII
enter two men in each event.
The battle for honors this year
between Rock Island, Davenport
and Moline will be a hot one as
each OF the schools is developing
squad of green men. Good mater
ial is plentiful despite this fact.
Tho Islanders seem to be pretty
well fixed in the sprint end of the
game. The track men have been
handicapped considerably by not
being able to get outside because
of the bad weather. Only Few
practices have been held at Reser-
voir field and the remainder have
been on the "Y" and the Augustana
track. Recently the local speeders
have been spending a great deal OF
their time on the Augustana oval
and Coach Kimmel feels satisfied
that his boys viii give Davenport
and Moline a good run for honors.
Relay Team Picked.
Captain Taxman, Van Tuyl, Hous-
ton and Whitfield will make up
Rock Islands kalf-mile relay team

The locals hopes in the sprint
ing events are pinned on Captain
Taxman and Whitfield. Searle is
expected to set a good pace for the
mile event. Letter men from Aug
ustana will be the judges.
Davenport Confident.
Davenport is also confident OF
taking home the bacon. At first il
was doubtful whether the red and
blue would enter the event at all
but Coach McGinnis has recently
announced that the school across
the river will be represented in
every event Approximately 25 are
expected to represent the Daven-
portrs.
The hottest competition is eX-
pected TO lie between Rock Island
and Davenport this year, but Mo-
line has been working hard in
preparation for the event Daven-
port is led to believe that it will
show great speed in the relay events
because of the winning of second
place in the meet at Iowa City
some time ago.
Davenport hopes seem to hinge
around Captain Simon, rated as one
/ of their best distance performers
\ Sprint material is divided between
VPhelps. Brookhart, Herd Hanson
and Fedderson. Clayton, claimed
to be fast hurdle man, is expected
to rank high IN the hurdle events.
Representatives for the weight
team will be picked from Krasuski
Wareham and Lund. Krasuski, who
attained fame as the giant center
in basketball and well remembered
by Rock Island and Moline high
school athletes. will probably have
little trouble in taking the shot put
