mg” Bennet out for first place in this event.
Baugh failed to place in the high jump, but after re-
ceiving words of inspiration from the trainer, proceeded
to do 18 feet 10 inches on his second big try at the
board jump pit, which mark was not equaled by another
contestant.
That brought up the mile relay. It was a stirring race
with “Georgia Boy” Widemon as third man for the
“Sophs,” piling up a lead of some twenty yards before
relinquishing his position to the anchor man. Prior to
this the Senior and Sophomore contestants were only two
strides apart when the batons were transferred. Baugh
took over the stick about 20' yards ahead of his “Crab”
competitor. He hit an easy pace in the first hundred
yards and on the last eight with a fifteen yard advantage
he settled down and coasted home. He finished breath-
ing moderately.
The Seniors proved their superiority in the dash and
two other relays. U. Robinson won the individual 880
with Widemon and Tabb at his heels.

100-Yard Dash—L. C. Archer (Seniors), L. Curry
(Seniors), E. Scott (Soph). Time, 10 seconds.

COACH FORBES PREPARES CHARGES FOR
TUSKEGEE RELAYS
Between the hours of four and six every afternoon on
the Morehouse athletic field, many youthful cinderpath
aspirants are sent through their preliminaries in order
that the “Red Hill" may send a representative group of
finished products to the annual Tuskegee Relays. Coach
Forbes is working ardently to surpass the record of last
year when four Morehouse men captured third place in
the mile relay and insured the "Tiger” a place in one
event.
Only one or ttvo men have been lost from last year’s
crop, while several valuable additions have been made.
This fact insures us at least as good a showing as we made
in the past year, even better, in fact. Hopes for a place
in the 100 meter tests again rest on the veteran soldiers
of the elongated “Josh” Archer—the fleet-footed one His
record time in the 100 meter event is about 11 seconds
flat. Other speed demons who will be given every oppor
tunity to prove their worth as tracksters are Dendy, Green,
Chenault, Scott, Curry, and Lamar. The men just men
tioned are likely to form the nucleus of the 440 and 880
relay teams.
The men who are out for the longer distances are led
by Ulysses Robinson, a boy with much stamina and re
serve. He has outclassed all competition in the 880 and
bids fair to be in the running when the starter fires the
gun that will commence activities at the Relays on May
10. Widemon, Tabb, Baugh, Adams, and several others
are also getting in trim, and are due to figure prominently
in the mile and two-mile relays. Widemon, especially,
has proven his ability as an exceptional anchor man.
Form all indications, the “Tiger” is weakest in the field
events. Boswell and P. Bennett are the only contenders
at hurling the discus and putting the shot. Watley, who
showed up nicely last year, has so far failed to put in his
appearance. Baugh, Martin Graham, and McFall (in
case he should show up for practice) are the best candi
dates for the high and low hurdles, high jump, and broad
jump. At the best they can produce only average results
in these events.
It might be said with confidence, however, that should
the mentor's plans materialize, track enthusiasts are in for
a real surprise when the officials tabulate their results on
the 1934 Tuskegee Relays.
At the University of Florida exactly thirty-nine fresh
men were promised the freshman class presidency during
the active campaigning of “rush week.”
