< BLUE DEVILS TO MEET
WOOD, JEFF TEAMS
AT BROAD RIPPLE
This afternoon at 4:00 o'clock
Roy Aberson's trackmen will
take on Wood High School and
then Lafayette Jefferson High
School on the Broad Ripple
track. The meet will be the second and third for the Satans,
who defeated Bloomington High
School earlier.
Terry Wiseman, the Satan
sprint star, will probably run up
against some of his toughest
competition of the season when
he meets Wood's Roy Thurman.
Thurman, a former Shortridge
junior-higher, has improved
greatly over last year when he
ran second to Dick Davis. ^
Others probably appearing
against the Woodchucks are Obie
McKenzie in the high jump and
Larry Hall, who broke the existing Shortridge indoor broad
jump record against Bloomington. The first 880-yard relay
team may also compete with the
other city school. Mr. Aberson's
distance runners will probably
see action against Jeff's Broncos.
The dual meet will help Coach
Aberson start picking boys who
will run In the city meet, which
has a limited number of entries.
Not too many records are expected to fall since this will be
the Blue Devil's first outdoor
meet of the season. The only
previous engagement was a
sound win over Bloomington in
an indoor meet. Wood, which is
2-0 so far this season, also
trounced the Bloomington team.
