up that worn remark of Same
Old Hap" today in regard to the
thirty-ninth annual interhigh track
Of yesterday at the Central Sta
dunn.
For Hap. Hardell, Tech High
coach, a team on the field
which swept everything aside in
it's path to win hands down. Alto
gether the Trainers amassed "a
points. &.
This exceeded Hardell's expecta-
tions no end. But Same Old"
was smiling happily when it was
all over. saying his boys surprised
him and that he didn't feel he had
a thing when the season started.
The point is Hardell didn't have
any great chuckS of a track team
when he inaugurated practice
drills in the Tech corridors last
January. His lineup was COM
pletely exhausted of star material,
due to the graduationS of most of
last years talented roster.
But today, Same Old Hap" has
another championship to enter in
the record books, Notwithstanding.
This title is Techs ninth in the
last 10 years. The boys were
stopped only in 1882 in this span.
Eastern triumphing in 1882. Now,
how are you going to tie that?
March. Wall Star
Harry March and Leo Wall were
Hardells beginners yesterday. The
former captured the 100 high
hurdles. placed second in the high
jump and was tied for second in
the broad jump. Wall won the
900 low hurdles, finished second
in the 100 high hurdles and tied
for third in the high jump, be-
sides running anchor on the mile
relay team which finished third.
John Williamson was another
winning Techite. John came
home with colors flying in the
one mile run, beating out Tru-
man Lancastey. Roosevelt Highs
crack distance man. Then there
were the youngsters Holbrook,
Belote, Wells and Baulsis, who
contributed nightly by their eff
forts in the field events.
Hardell should see his team
win again next season by virtue
of yesterdays showing. Only
March and Wall will be missing
but this will be enough to make
the mentor imply his chances
are slim. Good old Same old

and Miller, the mile relay.
CentralS star, as expected, was
Bill Thompson. The lanky young
ster stepped down aplenty to win
the 220-yard dash while his ef-
forts to capture the relay for
Central will be talked about for
a long time to come. He ran a
beautiful race in this latter, pull
ing his Central team from a
poor fourth to a gratifying Sec

Big Will equalled a record in
the 220-yard dash. He ran the
distance in 22:4, tying the mark
established by Dick Dear, of
Central, way back in 1902. Next
year he's liable to break it.
