ATHLETIC NOTES
East Saturday afternoon a-half dozen of our track
men took part in the Annual Relay Carnival held at
Vancouver, Washington, where a host of athletes
from twenty-eight high schools of the two states, Ore
gon and'Washington, competed.’ William Wall,
James Oliver, George Little Light and John Frenier
attended the carnival for one purpose and that was to
do something in the medley relay event and they did
it. They won and incidentally set a brand new record
for the future contestants in the Vancouver relays to
beat, Any team that can clip sixteen seconds off a
long standing record has got to get up and move
pretty fast and that is just what our quartet of runners
did. . Jim Oliver and George Little Light held their
own with the field in the 2:20-yard dashes and Wil
liam Wall ‘followed with the 440-yard dash and John
Frenier, our cross-country runner who has repeatedly
done real business in that event this spring, finished
that spectacular event, with a burst of speed and in a
blaze of glory,'so to speak. John’s burst of speed
was the talk of the carnival. John started his 880-
yard run with a sprint, so it seems, and the crowd in
attendance as well as the mass of contestants, expect
ed to see him'collapse after the first quarter-mile, but
John carried on and really opened up on the final
hundred yards with a sprint that amazed all. In
addition to the individual medals the boys brought
home a beautiful silver loving cup to be added to tour
large collection of trophies.
In a most proper and fitting way Superintendent
Lipps presented'the medals to our runners before the
entire assembly last Sunday evening. And as he
pinned the medal on each one he shook his hand and
complimented him heartily on the splendid effort he
made and congratulated the team on a really fine
achievement. Before he allowed them to return to
their seats he implored them to put that same enthu
siasm and energy in their life work, and success would
surely be theirs. The big audience heartily approved
the tribute he paid each of these athletes and applaud
ed and cheered each one loudly and long. And all
drank in that portion of encouragment and advice
that was meant for. them as he told in short of the
Battle of Marathon and the Trophies of Miltiades, In
short, it was a most memorable event and will linger
long in the minds of those present.
The bringing home of this cup reminds us of an
interesting incident that took place at one of our ath
letic banquets a few years ago. When called upon
for a few remarks in keeping with the affair, Coach
Sanders rose and pointing to a large collection of tro
phies, said: “ There they are, boys, go and get some
more.” The boys have been collecting, and now that
it is a privilege to compete with those of our own
calibre and class we know that more will get out and
make records that will stand and be recognized as
official just as these four have done.
The rain and mud robbed us of another baseball
game and a track meet last week. Anyhow, the boys
have not been marking time and the work-outs have
revealed the possibilities in a few changes. Alonzo
Hoover, who has been chasing fly balls in the outfield
all season, has been placed on first base where it
appears he rightfully belongs. Hoover looks perfectly
at ease around the first sack and seems to do every
thing naturally. Just'fiow it would seem that he has
definitely replaced joe Alexander, whdhas been drafted
into our pitching department, where we are just a
little weak. Joe -not only looks and acts like a pitcher,
but he has something on the ball, and more than that,
something on his shoulders which he uses. Marcus
Simmons has been doing unusually well at short con
sidering this is his first attempt, but he has,been shifted
to center field to take the place left by Alonzo. El
dred George will do our short stopping when he is not
in the box. So with Alexander, Goudy and Eldred
George to do our twirling we should be able to hold
the opposing batters in check. -
The many practice games held has enabled our
stickers to get their eye on the hall under “ game ’ ’..
conditions and during the past week they, have done
some effective hitting. Not only have a few improved,
but the entire squad is coming along rapidly.
George and Clifford Meachem were entered in the
Vancouver relays in the discus and javelin respectively,
Although they did not place, both did well even if
they; experienced some ill luck in their best attempts.
