Comparison of Sectional
Marks Shows Gary Squad
Superior.
BY ARCH EDDY

Some high school other than
Froebel Of Gary, national interscho-
lastic champion, may win the twen-
ty-seventh annual state track and
field meet at Butler Saturday, but
followers of the cinder sport today
were doubtful.
A comparison of the records Of
thirteen sectionals last Saturday
showed that marks set up by the
defending champs generally we're
superior to those of any one other
group.
Several Threats
Whether any new records are
hung on the blackboard Saturday
depends largely on weather and
track conditions. Several high
school men have demonstrated dur
ing the season their ability to give
record-breaking performances when
crowded, but these performances
have not been consistent.
Two state records were broken
during the sectional meets. Abrams
of Froebel Travelled over the high
hurdle route in 15.5 seconds, better
ing the old record which has stood
at 1862 since 1909. Sandeach, Emer-
son Gary, made a leap of % feet
ss-inch in the broad jump event.
The old record was % feet 4-inch,
set in 1922.
Glimpse of Stars
A summary of the section events,
dealing mainly with first place win
ners, discloses the outstanding men
in each event throughout the state.
