HOEYOkE HIGH SPRiNTER
X RUNS IN NATIONAL MEET

Virgil Albers, Holyoke Highs ten
second sprinter, failed to place in
the 100 yard dash at the National
Scholastic meet at Stagg Field, Chic
ag2, Friday afternoon, but it was not
BECAUSE he did not do his best, and
he should not feel ashamed of his
attempt, He was apparently in the
hest of condition and none of the
sprinters that he was matched against
had any better record, but an excess
of Nervousness and tenseneness which
are natural to any person befor an
ordeal which is to take their greatest
possible effort. and upon which so
much depends, Is sure to decrease
their efficiency. In an event of this
nature where the smallest fraction of
a second means defeat, anything that
tends to decrease the efficiency of
psg4icipant is sufficient to bring de
fss.t. ana it is the opinion Of Coach
10. l.. Wikoff, who accompanied Nirgik
that this was the chief reason for the
latters defeat. Many other athletes
with ten seond records did not make
as good showing as the IIolyoke
sprinter and the event was won by
boy from Sommerville, Tenn. in 1914
seconds.
over two hundred schoolr were
represented in this meet, the partici
pants numbering over eight hundred
ahteletes. In the hundred yard dash
alone, eighty four runners took part.
The Fort Collins lad who was easily
defeated by Albers in the state meet
won over the latter at Chicago in the
qualification trials. lie was easily
defeated In the finals. so II was
throughout the meet. Nervousness
and the change in surroundings had
much TO do in eliminating may OF
the fastest men. However, Holyoke
High and Phillips County is proud
of Virgil Albers and his defeat at
Chicago will in no way detract from
his popularity here.
