Speaking of Sports The track meet between New Brit- ain and Crosby High schools, sched- uled for this afternoon at Willow Brook park, has becn cancelled on account of the weather, according to an announcement by Coach Leonel Depot. The coach stated that it probably would be good enough to conduct the mect this afternoon but his first consideration was the health ©of the members of his team. I | Because of the prevalence of sick- ness in the city, this attitude of the | track coach is especially comforting | to the parents of the members of | the track team hecause it shows that | consideration of the athletes is the first 10 be taken by the athletic authorities at the High school.

Final practice sessions in prepara- tion for the opening of the season tomorrow were scheduled for both the Falcons and the All-Kensington teams but it appears that there will be no workouts Neither was settled on the start- ing lineup in tomorrow’s games and it will be just a case of guess when it comes to selecting players for the various positions on the team. The Cardinals baseball team will | practice tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at Willow Brook park. All| members of last year's team and all candidates for places on the squad arc asked to report. Jack Delaney and Jack arkey will battle Monday night in an elim- ination bout of the climinated.

Barely a week ago it was Joie Ray the old miler, suddenly blossoming forth at Boston as a marathon run- ner of the first class under difficul- ties and now picked by veteran | coaches as a likely winner of the Olympic laurel wreath, Today the sensation is blonde and youthful Harold Keith, sturdy Uni- versity of Oklahoma foot-racer, who ran the first steeplechase of his life on the opening day of the Pennsyl- vania relay carnival on a few m utes notice and won it—all hec of a mistake. A little matter for five minutes lost time converted Keith from the anchor runner on a medley relay | |tram to a steeplechase victor in so | | sp ular a performance that Law- | I son Roberison, Olympic head track and ficld coach, immediately placed | his stamp of approval on the Olkla- | | homan as an American candidate for | 13,000 meter steeplechase honors. | Keith and his teammates came 11,500 miles to take part in the dis- |tance medley relay against “he pick | |of the cast and middle western col- | |leges. Tt was a cold, rainy day und | the Oklahomans hugged the warmth {of the clubhousc. A mistake on the | scorchoard misled them as to the }linm of their race. They came out to find to their dismay the distance | medley already had been under way five minut | Here was an athletic tragedy for | these schoolboys. They appealed to the meet officials, who sympatheti- cally offered to let the Oklahomans ,Tun an extra heat hy themselves to get their performance on record. But this did not satisfy their compotitive spirit. They looked at the steeple chase course, with its flock of ob- stacles to hurdle, including a big | water jump. No pink tea party there, but they were game. Keith and two of his teammates, Carson and Heald, asked permission to en- 1|~-r the gruclling race and received {it. The fourth, Taylor, only a qua | ter-miler, decided the distance of [ nearly two miles was too much for him, | “I've never tried this before. What do you suggest?” Keith asked one |of the referces, Gustavus T. Kirby. “Stay up with the leaders; let | some other fellow set the pace and | then if you have enough stuff left beat them on the last lap,” Kirby advised, | Keith followed instructions to the I etter, He let Mel Dalton, little Seton Hall star, stay out in front most of the route over alippery turf, hurdles and that cold shower-bath they called a water-jump, then gal- | loped out in front on the final lap to win by fifty yards. Carson fin- | ished fourth and Heald fifth. We'll build oursclves a steeple- chase course like this and practice up,” said Keith afte rd. “This is the kind of stuff I like. In Lawaon Robertson's opinion, Keith is a real Olympic “find.” H¢ has a mile in 4:18 to his credit and has done five miles in around 24 minutes, Today these Oklahomans were booked as added starters in another race, the four-mile relay, by special dispensation.
