ticipants is concerned, the Wil
lamette relaya ranks as one of
the largest athletic shows In
the United States.- ,

over 1S00 prep and college ath
letes will take part in the mam
moth show, which opens at 1
p.m. sharp Saturday.
A total of 18 heats are sched
uled in the high school divi
sion of the high hurdles as com
pared with nine of a year ago.
