Ray Batten, who leads the Bates
barriers this year is an experienced
man in the hill and dale game. Dur
ing his three years at college he has
been a dependable member of the
team. He is also a fast man, in the
40 and was member of the victor
ious relay teams at the B. A. a.
games and at the Pennsylvania car
nival last year. His record proves
him to be will fitted to pilot the Gar
ret to victory.
Frank f. (Cyk) Mckinley, is one
OF the Garncts strongest men. His
college track career began with his
making last years cross country

was mctoric. In the dual meet with
New Hampshire he easily captured

435. His greatest achievement how
ever was his sensational fight in the
mile at the New Englands. Coming
from behind he finished second to
Sanborn of Tech in 4.31.25 His
record places him second only to the
Bukcr boys among the Bates distance
men.
