TRACK, DIAMOND
TO DE LAID OUT
AT FAIR GROUNDS
The first call for track and
baseball squad candidates was is
sued today by Coach Robert
Crites of Palmer High School.
Both the track and diamond hope
fuls are to report to the fair
grounds athletic field, after school
next Monday.
Mr. Crites said he expected to
lay out a quarter-mile track on
the field this Saturday, barring
an unexpected snow fall. The
diamond also will be located on
the fair grounds.
The coach plans to concentrate
on track during the regular phys
ical education classes of the cur
riculum. Baseball practice will
be called for after-school hours,
he said.
No meets or games have been
scheduled yet, Mr. Crites said.
After a month of practice sessions,
he expects to meet schools of the
Railbelt area on both diamond
and track during the month of
May.
Meanwhile, while fellow squad
members are splashing liniment
with a lavish hand to reileve the
muscle aches of the amateur
trackmen, Johnny Alex and Ver
non Fridley will be chortling in
self-satisfaction. At 6 o’clock for
many a morning now, the two
have been racing a half dozen
conditioning laps around the fail
grounds racetrack.
