New Trier Track ~ Stars to Enter Olympic Tryouts ~ ew Trier trackmen . placed in the half-mile relay at the University of Chicago's National Interscholastic last year and they hope to win points in at least three events this vear. The meet, which has been des~gnated ·as an Olympic tryout by the pre sident of the Olympic committee, Gen. Douglas ~IacArthur, will be held at Stagg Field, June 1 and 2. It affords the largest track and field competition in the country, with more than a thousa nd prep athletes entered. It is open to the public free of charge and there will be free reserved seats for those X ew Trier fans who wish to attend. Dave Wanger, who won the broad jump at Marquette and took first in the Lake S hore division trials for the state meet, is New Trier's best bet for several points. Carl Hall may be able to place in th e high jump if he gets going as good as h e. was the first part of the year. The mile relay team, which was tied for second at Marquette, is sure to lnake a good showing. Coach Nay will also enter a two mile team if his half miters can get going a little faster. Ted Burgess, who switch ed from the mile to the half at the start of the outdoor season, has never been beaten in th e longer eve nt . He ought to be able to place in the Stagg meet, although there is always a very formidable field entered in the mile, because he ran a very fast mile in the state trials and is improving all the time. New Trier captured fourth place in the Lake Shore division tryouts for the State meet. held at Oak Park last Saturday, although only a small part ~f the team was entered. Oak Park was victorious in a close fight with Evanston for first place. Provi so was third . Ted Burgess nosed out Hammond of Deerfield to win the mile in the fast time of 4 minutes 45 9-10 seconds. Marty Cassell and Simp son. an Evanston man, led the rest of the field 111 the quarter mile. l\f arty kept the pole atl the way and although Simpson sometimes came abreast of him he couldn't quite pass him and the New Trier man hit the tape just a few ya rd s ahead. Dave Wanger. whose springy legs are bringing much honor to th e Gray and Green, won the broad jump easily. Kershaw nlaced fifth in the javelin throw and tied with \Vin eberd of E\'anston in the pole vault. Travelers Checks and Letters of Credit are issued by us for your Vacation Needs ...
