Rensselaer High School to Contest in Track Meets.

Track work is to be revived in the Rensselaer high school, one meet already having been scheduled and another being held under consideration. For many years Rensselaer has been without a - track team. In days gone by this city was represented by some of .the best track men in the state. Dobbins, Morgan, Hauter, Yeoman, McGregor, Gwin and McFarland ranked with the best in the state. If we remember correctly Dobbins’ record in the low hurdles still stands while Morgan in the pole vault set a record that has never been equaled in a high school meet. The local track squad is hard at work for the meet scheduled at Monticello, when Rensselaer clashes with Delphi and Monticello. It is hoped to make this triangular meet a permanent affair. A contest is also under consideration between Brook, St. Joe and Rensselaer ,to be' held here. The meet at Monticello is scheduled for May Ist and the second encounter will probably be held the middle of the month. A state meet will be held | the last of May and it is hoped to enter a few local men in this. Hemphill, Curnick, Eigelsbach, Lakin, Simons, Swaim, Babcock, English and several others will probably all be entered in these contests. Oratorical * contests will be held in the evening at Monticello, two contestants being entered from each school. 1
