if Xi El1f - - - wyafll Indoor Track Srrzrfrrens, Cafwiain L. L. XVARREN, Coach Indoor Track championships are getting to be a common thing at Northeast junior, and our speed merchants this year very capably upheld the precedent. As the Indoor Track season comes during basketball season and many of the boys are basket- ball men, systematic training is greatly handicapped. Nevertheless. our boys took all honors indoors, and came very near the relay record set by Northeast Junior in 1925. Etna Stephens, this year's track captain, tied the city junior high record in the 50 yard dash, in 5.8 seconds. Etna won the dash in both indoor meets, showing his heels to a fast field. Kubiak, Steve's running mate in the 50, pushed him hard to win. Our indoor relay team was pretty to watch. DeShaffon, our lead-off man, never failed to turn over a lead to Indian Jacobs, who would then proceed to double the distance between himself and his competitors. Then came Stan Kubiak, Coaclfs war-horse, whose six-foot stride enabled him to turn such a lead over to Steve, that Uncle Steve soon was becoming fat and lazy because he wasn't pushed hard enough in the relay.
