work on the program for his outfit
: this week. What he saw at Fessender
was both cheering and depressing te
, the silent mentor.
Il Green's defeat in tho 440 was bott
sudden and unexpected. It can bt
!. blamed to a prime fault of the Demor
. specdstcr. From the scratch, Greer
took the lead closely pressed BY
Thornton Of Fessenden. During th'
last 220 yards, Green continual!
looked back to measure the few yard
that separated him from the fast
coming Fesscnden lad. Out of tn
J masScd pack some IS yards in th'
! rear, came Horner Of Mohall. Greer
intent on watching Thornton faile,
: to see the Mohall giant who spe,
past the leaders like an express trail
i to finish three yards in front.

it slowed the state champion up an
