This victory was a fine demonstration against the Class NCB State Champions. The next victims of the Central thin clads were the Davis Tech trackmen, who were defeated 65-39. Captain Dykehouse of the Green and White. equalled the city record for the century. He also took high point honors with 161A points, while Kroeze took first in the high hurdles, second in the lows, and tied for second in the high jump for a total of 10 points. May 7 Central edged out the Cougars of Catholic by a margin of 59 to 45. It was a nip and tuck affair until Central scored a slam in the broad jump and Hugh Browne tied for first place in the high jump to put the meet on ice. Two newecomers, Phelps and Benton, helped Clow and Sproul enough to turn in the fine time of 1:36 Hat in the 880-yard relay. Un the following week Central defeated its traditional foe, Union, by the score of 63-41. Although Central was a pre-meet favorite, only a few expected so large a margin of victory. Unexpected gains were made when Buck tied Vanderlinde of Union in the 100-yard dash with the time of 10.6. an dwhen Sproul ran a nice race to win the 220 in 23.5 seconds. Excellent times were turned in by Pickett in the mile, who, although he did not win first. ran the distance slightly under 4 minutes and fifty seconds, and by Phillips. who made the 880 in 2:08.4. Buys also surprised by winning the shot-put and at the same time setting a new modern school record of 41 feet, 7 inches. Central cinched its victory by scoring a slam in the high jump with Browne and Kroeze tied for first with the height of 5 feet, eight inches and Laba- nowski third. Union forfeited the relay, but Central ran against Creston which was holding a meet at the same Held. A new relay team composed of Buck, Clow, Phelps, and Sproul, won this race in the excellent time of 1 minute. 35 seconds. The remaining meets on the schedule card are a sfollows: the Regional Champion- ships, the State Championship Meet, and the Indian Relays in June. Coach Harold Steele, who has produced such stars as Emery. Pantlind, Drueke. and Van Houten. must be commended on establishing his record of losing only one dual meet in three years of competition, and that meet was lost by but two points. This year he has developed a fine, loyal-spirited bunch of boys. 5-i B sms ii- One Hundred Seventeen

Pickett. and Fitch in the distances. As usual the fourth annual session room meet, which was originated by Coach Steele, provided him with an excellent opportunity to look over his proteges in real action. Phelps of 136 was high point man of the meet. scoring 1523 points and Farrell of 112 also gave an all-,round performance. Session room 136 won the Steele trophy. but 112 captured the relay and the cup that goes with it. The first scheduled meet found the highly touted Creston bunch cavorting around Houseman Feld, Unfortunately Russell Kroeze had become ill two days before the meet. His almost certain points might have made the 53 to 51 score in Central's favor instead of the Polar Bears.
