HI SCHOOL, COLLEGE THINCLADS
PREPARE FOR CAMPAIGN OPENER
2 Graheks Make Jaysees
Potentially Strong in
Track EUentS.

Memorial high and junior college
track men have but a little more than
a week left to practice before TAX
ing on the first competition of the
season.
Saturday April Is, the college will
enter the Hibbing relays, while the
high school may stop off at Virginia
for a triangular meet with the Queen

competition cannot be arranged, the
props will travel on to Hibbing for
the relays.
A squad of five college thinclads is
working out under the direction of
Coach Ed Buckley, who also has
Memorial high runners in hand.
The jaysees have some talented ma
terial on deck, but the red and white
squad is woefully lacking in exper-
fenced men.
Sparkling the college performers are
two freshmen, Ed and Ted Grahek,
both of whom competed at the high
school state finals in Minneapolis last
spring.
Ed Grahek captured the low hurdles,
the 100-yard dash and the broad
Jump, and Ted Grahek the high
hurdles at the district meet. Ted
came through with a first in his
event at the regional, and qualified to
compete in the state finals. Ed ran
up against some stiff competition in
the regional and won second in the
century, going on to the state but did
not qualify.
These two will continue competition
in their special fields in college.
Other squad members include a
third Grahek, Tony, who will run the
low hurdles, and with the other two
and Paul Prola will compose the $50
relay team. Prola will be entered in
both hurdle events. Fifth member is
George Perkovich, distance man, who
will run the $50.
Six men turned out for the initial
high school practice sessions They
were Stanley Mestnik. Louis Senta
