TITE OREGON STATESMAN: FRIDAY, MAY 2. 1010 G1ASSIG MAY IS ANNOUNCED Run from Salem to Portland by "Y" Teams of Cities to Be Made This Year The Porlland-Salem relay which was. a classic In Willamette Valley foprts tome years ago has been re vived -and will be run this year, the Salem Y. M. C. A. having callenged the Portland association and the challenge having been accepted. The announcement was made yesterday by Secretary Louia H. Compton of the "Y" In this city. The date of the race has not been fixed but it probably will be run dur ing the Rose festiva.1. In the event that it is not held then it will be ar ranged, if possible, that the starting point will be Portland in order that Salem may see the finish. Hereto fore the run has started in this city. The matter of having the teams composed of 20 men instead of 10 as In the old days Is being taken up by Secretary Compton with Captain Dow Walker, superintendent of the Mult nomah Athletic club who is in charge of the Portland en"d of the contest. Captain Walker has recently re turned from France where h,e served 'with the motor transport corps at the front for several monthV. - The object in increasing the num ber of men Is to avoid the long runs which, it is felt, have been too stren uous. Under the 20-man team plan, the run of each vfill approximate two and a half miles. . For the Salem contestants, R. H. Matthews of Willamette .university will be coach, Dr. F. L. Utter, one of the . runners in the former races, will be. assistant coach, and secre tary Compton will -serve as manager.
