tario today, there to do battle
against % high schools from all
parts of the state in the famous
Chaffey track and field meet to-
morrow.
Berry, Kirkpatrick, Gillett and
Maiden compose the team, with
Bob Armstrong, coach, going along
to put the boys through their PAGES.
There will be a wild scramble for
honors with so many entries and
Coach Armstrong is figuring that
his boys will be lucky if they can
score 20 points against such stiff
opposition.
Gillett is practically assured of
first place in the 440 yard dash
but no first places aside from that
event will come easy.
The relay team has the best
chance of gaining another first if
it runs up to form.
Kirkpatrick is expected to break
into the point column but two first
places in the hurdles are hard to
get and it will be a miracle, Arm
strong feels, if Kirkpatrick can
produce as well as he did at Hunt
ington Beach.
Gillett will have four 10-second
hi IN, 1,n oy.Ic
dash and will be lucky to run eth
er first or second.
Leo Maiden, who has been scor-
ing on the stage in the class play,
as well as on the track and field
team, should be up in the money
in the broad jump. He will travel
to Ontario after the play tonight,
thereby entering under a consider
able handicap. Berry, on the re-
lay, is in splendid shape, ready to
do his share for honors

DRAW VERDICT

Kid Munoz, who meets Max Tar

event at the Imperial Valley Ath-
letic club, showed his wares at Yu-
ma last night when he went six
sizzling rounds with Johnnie Min
ella of San Diego, the verdict being
a draw, although the majority of
fans thought Munoz had a big
edge.
Minella has been seen in action
here and local fans know him as a
tough youngster. The fact that
Munoz gave him plenty of battle
indicates that farley ought to be
in for busy evening here.

Munoz can keep the coast boy going

do. We must go in and look them
straight in the eye.
This is Resurrection" he said,
slapping a nicely set up brown colt
on the flank. Hes the best of the
two. He started eight times last
year and finished second twice. The
other six times he was out of the
money. ST. Stephens over there
never has started, so really don't
know what he can do. Ill get a line

Sande was serious when he talk
ed about returning to the saddle.
He is down to l12 pounds, and
plenty strong, he said.
Asked who he thought was the
best two-year-old Of last year,
Sande said:
There can't be much argument
there. Ladysman had it all over the
field. If ne comes out of training
as sound as he was the middle part
of last season, he oughta be the
fayorite at Churchill But the Der
