OF Winning First Place In

ment Next Month Are Best
They Have Been In Sever
al Years - Second Last
Year.

With the best prospects for win
ming first placeSin the annua! inter
scholastic track tournament which
will be held at the University of
North Dakota on May 10 and 20, they
have had in years. Central high school
aspirants for places on the track team
will begin their outdoor training Mon
day. Coach George a said yester-
day tina with the exception Of two or
three events, he will have men good
for from one place up.
The local team took second place in
the tournament last yea which was
won by Fargo with 81 points. Grand
Forks collected 20, Pembina 10, and
Hamilton 18 1-2. Bass men were
more or less green las season and he
IS of the opinion that every man he
has will be better than he was last
spring.
Should Win Relay. ,....
Grand Forks won FIST place in the
relay race with a team made UP of
Reed, Sandlie. Davies. and Munro.
Reed graduated last spring. but Bass
has three men to fill the place and it
is his opinion that it will be filled by
a faster man. McCracken, Woutat
and sWallen will be groomed to take
Reeds place. The race was run last
year in close to record time and Bass
says that the team that wins it from
Grand Forks this spring will have to
set up a new mark.
Central will be strong in the dash
es. Davies, Munro and Sandlie, all
point winners in the 100 and 220 can
be depended on to repeat, but the 44O
will probably bring out the weakest
entries in the team unless WOutat or
Jacob have developed more speed
than they had last ear Grand
Forks did not place in this event in
1921.
Strong in Distances.
Bass has plenty of good material
for both the mile and half mile. Trot-
ter is looked on as the best bet. He
has plenty of stamina and can sprint.
He will be in fine condition after put
ting in a long basketball season. Yo-
der is also expected to show up we'll
in the distances, while Jannings and
Horton will have to be counted OH.
Horton can run all day, hut last year
could not furnish any speed in the
finish.
McCracken will undoubtedly win
the high hurdles. He fell last year in
the event when he was leading the
field by a whole hurdle. He can also
be counted on in the low hrudles.
Woutat and Bernard will be groomed
for the low obstacles. while Hofto will
be used in both. Bass is confident OF
gathering in a large number of points
in these events. .
Grand Forks will not have very
strong entries in the broad jump,
ed on in a hope that one of them will
place. They are Wallen, Doe, Munroe
and Sandlie. However, In the high
jump the coach expects to mop up"
McCrackcn and Trotter, who tool
second and third last year, are being
figured on for the next two higher
places, as the man who won first is
now out of school. Sturtevant and
Boo are also good in this event.
Weak in Pole Vault.
Central will not be particularly
strong in the pole vault. although
Sturtevant may develop enough tt
place this year. Grand Forks did MOI
count in the pole vault last year. but
Sturtevant was green in the event
Hilligos and Gibson are also working
for a place.
HurSeth ought to win the shot put
Last year before the meet he wal
heaving the weight 40 feet, but wher
no met competition he went to pieces
and the best he could do was "a. TIL
experience should help and Bass is ex
pecting much of him. Ed Boo ant
Dan Smith can be counted on to hell
ont considerably here. ,
Smith placed in the discus last yea,
and is good for points this spring
while Trotter, Doe and Loughlin ar
also going good. Allen took secont
place in the javelin throw in 1921 ant
lie. will be entered again this year
Gibson and Doyle are competing will
him for honors in this event.
