Show WAT KINS (Broad Jump) PEMBROKE (Captain and Quarter Mile) ment in his specialty, and at the Drake Relays, held recently at Des Moines, Iowa, the Ute javelin ace got out around 190 feet. Baker also is a javelin thrower. In the pole vault, Burnett Bagley, ace of the Ute vaulters, is going great guns, and although Ralph Goodwin and Alton Cleveland may force Bagley somewhat, still it seems probable that Bagley will bear the principal hopes of Utah in the various meets in his event. Bagley is capable of going up near 12 feet at any time. A new weight event has been added to the collegiate program for 1927, the hammer throw. LeRoy Walker, 46-year old daddy of the Crimson campus, and Ralph Bodin, middle western star, are the Ute entrants in this event. In the high jump, Laurence, Lyons and Jensen are to bear the brunt of the competition. Howard Egan, star of former years, severely injured his ankle early in the year, and as a jumper's ankles are his stock in trade, Egan may or may not prove of much use to the Armstrong clan this year. The veteran Watkins will be assisted in the broad jump by two promising freshmen, Jensen and Lunnen, both formerly of Jordan high. All of these men have been hitting the turf at a considerable distance from the take off in recent workouts, and Armstrong is expectant of great things from the trio. Although Utah's strength in the field events is somewhat problematical, prospects for the track contests are brighter.
