r COKOUT m'way, lemme run,
will you?"

IT COKOUT m'way, lemme run,
A kid with eyes as wild as
the storm clouds that swirled
overhead was yelling at the starter as
the runners on the first leg Of the relay,
the final event in the high school cham
pionship track meet, came streaking
down the stretch yesterday in Central
High School Stadium. He caught a
vision of an Eastern runner, Lewis, rae
ing away after grabbing the baton from
Mostow.
Then Just as a fash Of lightning zig
Jagged down from the sky and seemed
to blaze the way for him, the kid,
Jimmy Condit of Tech, who had never
before run a quarter mile in competl-
ton, seized the stick and was away
after Lewis, now full 20 yards ahead
as if in pursuit of the lightning itself
With Hap Hardell, Mckinley coach,
gesticulating wildly, chewing gum as
only Hap can chew gum and almost
running the race with him, how that
kid did burn up the track! Not only
did he catch Lewis, but he handed
Emmerich, the third Tech runner, a
lead of several yards. Emmerich man.
aged to hold the advantage over Keegin.
and then Joe Hartman proceeded once
more 20 demonstrate that good big
man is better than good little man
by fighting off desperate challenge by
Joe Mahoney and leading home the
little fastener by few yards.
THE victory in the relay boosted
i Techs point total to So 2-3 and
gave it its first track championship
since 1928 Eastern was only l-3
points behind Tech with 40 l-3. Cen
tral. last years champion, counted only
Is and Western scored only 8. Roose-
velt did not score.
That stirring dash by Condit was the
crucial point of meet that fairly
teemed with drama. 1t was not until
the last minute that Hardell decided to
use the kid. The coach was afraid
Jimmy's inexperience would be too
much of handicap. He also was
somewhat wary of Hartman, fine run
ner that he is. Joe has not been in
good shape lately.
Had Eastern instead of Tech won the
relay Coach Mike Kelley's proteges out
Lincoln Park way would have won the
meet by two-thirds of point, 81 1-3 to
so 2-3
Techs marked superiority in the fiat
races told. Eastern scored not a sin
gle point in this department. save in
the hurdles Vic Caron of the Indians
won both the l20-yard high and 300
yard low hurdles. Eastern was strong
in the field tests. but Frank Kocsis,
powerfully built Central boy, cut in on
Kelley'S lads in these events. K0cSis
fought it out with Dave Sprinkle for
high point honors. Sprinkle won the
first In the high jump for total OF l3
points. KocsiS captured the shotput
and javelin, and placed third in the
discus and broad jump to account for
II or all except 4 of his teams points.
Runt Pearson, blond little Techite,
turned in the days most notable per-
formance when he flew over the 100
yard course in 10 seconds to score an
upset win over Ryan of Central and
Began of Tech by the narrowest
margin. The time equaled the meet
record There were no marks broken.
Steve Gray of Western surprised by
winning the 440-yard dash. He sprinted
in the last 100 yards to beat to the
wire Condit and Mahoney, who were
second and third.
