CHICAGO, June 13.-Ft. Collins,
Colo, Oak Park, H., Salem, O., and
Roosevelt High of Dayton, O., were
the favorites as the twenty-seventh
annual national interscholastic track
and field championships reached the
finals today at Stagg field.
TT. Collins, national champions
in 1925, 1926 and 1923; Oak Park,
third last year, and Salem, never
before a contender, led in qualif1ers
in the preliminaries Friday, each
with six.
One hundred and twenty-five ath-
letes out of field of more than 500
survived the preliminaries in four
track events and six field events.
Finals were on today's program.
Amsden Oliver, a lanky Negro
with long stride that eats up
ground, carried the hopes of the
Dayton team. Oliver became a
favorite to win both the high and
low sticks by his easy victories in
the preliminaries. He won his heat
in the 12G highs in 1876 and in the
22O lows in 248, coasting all the
way.
At least one new national high
school record was promised by l..
Schrimscher, Main Avenue High.

Minneapolis rallied for five runs and
victory, 6 to 5.
1t was hard blow to the Hide

downfall by forgetting to cover first
base when CcCann made a great
play on Harris. first at bat in the
last round. Furthermore, in the
same inning, Hildebrand permitted
runner on second to walk to third.
The MillerS sensed that the young
man was cracking and their artil-
lery wheeled into action with the
speed Of motorized outfit.
Hildebrand finally was removed,
Beryl Horne relieving, but it was
too late, and the Indians. out in

Koenecke doubled in the Tribe half

Voigt's brilliant putting with both
balls was the outstanding feature
of the match, while Perkins treated

yards with the old ball and 233 with
the new. Voight had eight one-putt
greens, five of them with the new
ball and three with the old.
MEASURING all drives with the

erages for drives were obtained:
Perkins, driving the new ball on

Mehlhorn averaged 241 yards with
the new ball and 239 with the Old
Cox drove the new ball for an av-
