DHS Looms Big In District Meet When Donegal’s trackless trackmen step out Saturday at McCaskey high school field in the 1972 District champion- ships, they will be going for something new. Of the five Indian school- boy athletes who will parti- cipate, four will team togeth- er to make a fry for the mile relay crown. Ccach Charles Portser said this week that present plans are to put CIiff Betty, John Helmstaedter, Pat Henry and Larry Priester into Donegal’s fastest combination and shoot for as near a 3:30. race as possible. It might not be quite that good but a 3:33 would be mighty satisfactory and might just surprise someone. In what order he would run the four men Portser was not certain early this week but it would be a good bet that his ace sprinter Cliff Betty—will run anchor. The fifth man to take part in the District will be Martin Heisey, who will try in all three jump events — a tough assignment for anyone, con- sidering that he must be jumping continually in the high jump. And, when a boy who stands about 5-11 or 6 ft. tall is going three inches and more over his own head there is a tremendous effort in- volved. The Donegal lineup will be 220-yard dash, Betty; 440-yd. dash, Betty; mile relay; high hurdles, Priester, low hurdles, Priester, and the high, long, and triple jumps, Heisey.
