Sports
Soon Eddie" Digger will be the
proud recipient of the IC4A medal for
outstanding track achievements last
indoor season. This lanky phenom. of
the cinders holds the records for the
hurdles and dash events of the IC4A.
EditOrially Speaking by r. c. S.
AS the Spring draws nigh so does
the ever prevailing question of the
Digger Playground. Last September
this plot of land was dedicated to the
honor of man who in himself was
character of nobility and courage. At
the present time there, situated at the
entrance of this alleged playground,
is an emblem in the form of rock on
which is inscribed the history of this
man whom we all admired In all
sense of honor and reverence this play
ground should live up to the ideals of
him to whom it was dedicated. Citi-
zens of this Ward should not allow
such a condition to exist. True, the
City Fathers have promised to correct
this eyesore every time they have been
approached but the question is, have
they done so. No answer need be
