Nineteen class A, 15 B and 10 C schools will compete. Coach Tommy Drynan's band, a capable clan in. an orthodox track and field session, was delivered telling blows during practices this week and will be far from full strength today. First, high-jump er Dick Gattke, the lettered lad who has been approaching the 6- foot mark this spring, received what was thought to be either a broken ankle or a bad sprain while jumping Thursday night; second, discus peddler-shot putter Art Gottfried undergoes an oper ation on his nose today, and will not participate in the meet; next, sprinter Myron Cavender wound ed a foot in practice the other day and may not be available for the Drynan splinting corps; and next, Manager Harold Koontz, a capa ble Drynan' lieutenant, but a pole vaulter at heart, fell and broke his arm while attempting a vault Thursday. Added to the wounded ankle already sported by all aroun man Lyle Williams, who will do only high-jumping today, and the fact that Drynan had a nightmare Thursday and fell out of bed well, Salem won't be fa vored to do other than make it interesting for the others today. While keeping his fingers crossed against further whammies Friday, Drynan predicted compe tition in the A division would be tougher than ever this year, since track marks all over the state have been on the good side. "A good many teams will be sharing the points," he furthers. "Grant's all-around strength and Jeffer son has power, too should make it a good day for Portland." wins kept Seattle atop the league standings.
