HEAVY
TRACK FAVOR|TE

Coach Mike Kelley's Eastern
track team is a predominant
heavy f vorite to repeat its cham
pionship of last year when the
high school cinder path artists
gather tomorrow afternoon at
the Central Stadium for their an
nual meet. The first event is
scheduled to start at 3:45 O'Clock.
A number of fans figure thai
could Central and Tech combine
their teams they could then pro-
duce a team that could lick the
Lincoln Parkers. They concede
that neither of the two is strong
enough Independently to even
seriously menace the Light Blue
team and already are awarding
the title to the latter.
With little or no likelihood
of last years thrilling climax
when Eastern cOpped the
crown by scoring first and
second place in the javelin
throw. the last event. to nose
out Tech being repeated,
fans have turned their atten-
ton to the hope that several
new championship records
may be ests bliShed.
The dopesters have 1t that four
records probably will go by the
boards tomorrow, pointing out
that various competitors have al
ready bettered the standing
marks in the high hurdles, half
mile, javelin and mile relay.
Oddly enough, Tech, which is
rated as second choice, has the
men capable Of cracking three of
these records, while Eastern, the
favortie, has but one.
AL Reichmann, Techs captain,
and the prettiest half-miler seen
in local scholastic ranks since
Jim Kelly ran for Dewitt, is con-
ceded an excellent chance of
establishing new record in his
speciality if pushed hard enough.
chester Miles looms as his most
serious adversary in this race
and may push him on to a new
record, though Reichmann may
elect to save himself as much as
possible for the final leg on the
relay.
Both Russell Lampson, Of Cen
tral. and Allison, Of Eastern,
probably will eclipse the javelin
record, while Slye and Everett,
of Eastern, and Piggott, of Tech,
are held capable of breaking the
hurdle records. The Tech mile
relav team of Quinn, Wolfarth,
MacCartee and Reichman has
turned in the fastest mile relay
of the year locally and can bet
ter the old mark.
The present records follow:
