MUCH ENTHUSIASM FOR COMING INTER-
CLASS meet AT WINS WOULD LIKE
TO MAKE CINDER GAME MAJOR SPORT
Especial to Kennebec JournaD

Natcrville, March 2S-Consider-
able interest is being manifested in
the coming Waterville High school
inter-class track meet. Just as soon
as the members of the various classes
can get out and get lmbered up it is
expected that the meet will be held.
All the students in the High school
favor this plan and it is understood
that there is very much material to
be had. Waterville was never very
strong on the cinder path but the
students are all agreeing that this
spring will mark change at the
Purple and White institution. The
meet ought TO be a success as the
three classes are all well represented
in the events.
track arises the old question comes
to light. Should the Waterville High
school support a track team? The
school has always been we'll repre-
sented in the line of athletics and
many are of the belief that this
sport should be installed as a ma jor
one. One set back that comfronts
the idea of organizing a track team
is the fact that tn elocal school has
no track upon which to practice and
to hold a meet. This could be re-
duced as the sprinters could work
out on the football team while the
distance men could run around the
school building. which affords an ex-
cellent opportunity to work out.
1t should be remembered that the
Skowhegan High school has no track
but that they support a track team
every spring. TIL, same is true of
the NJ. c. | team and of numerous
other schools in Maine. 1t is not too
late for the local high school to
have such a team this spring. A
meet that would arouse much friend
ly competition between the big four
OF Central Maine, Watcrville, Show
hogan, Cony and Gardiner The stu
dents of the local school are willing
to give their time and effort for such
team and it seems as if the school
ought to try to support one.
Many of the students have COM
piete outfits which would tend to
lower the cost of running the team.
1t is the opinion of the students that
if track and uniforms are the only
reasons why the high school will
not support a track team. that the
students would be willing to buy
their own equipment.
