discus over 40 feet.
Showing exceptional promise this
spring after being the outstanding
high school track man In the state for
the past two years, Hill will be one
of the few freshmen in the United
States to try out for the Olympics. He
will enter the 400 meter hurdle event
and should stand good chance Of
qualifying, West said. He holds the
state record in the 220 yard low
hurdles and runs the highs in time
that is equally good. He has run the
half mile in minutes flat, one sec
ond behind the conference record, and
is capable of doing the 40 dash in so
seconds. With his stamina and excel

lieves Hill will have good chance in
