Bill" Brier Capt.
Colby Relay Team

Watervile, Me. Feb. 13-At a
meeting of the Colby relay team held
at the Delta Kappa Epsilon club in
New York just before starting for
Madison Square Garden tt compete
in the Millrose games, George Will
lard Bill" Brier 2 of Oakland. Me,
was elected captain of the Colby re-
lay team for the past two years and
is a very reliable and depe ndable
man and ought to make a good
leader.
Brier, who is n product OF Mike
Ryan's. was taken out of a physical
training class two years ago and put
to work with the track men. He had
never taken part in any kind of ath-
letics before that. He proved to be
an apt scholar and showed improve
ment almost from the start. Last
year he qualified for the finals in the
cc0-yard dash in the State meet and
he ran very creditably in all of the
relay races in which the Colby team
took part and this year his work in
the Millrose and B. A. A. meets was
very impressive. He is ideally built
for a quarter miller and Coach Ryan
will undoubtedly use him in that
event in the State meet at Waterville
next spring.
