Something In Regard TO Munici-
pal Lighting.
The first annual field day OF the Han
cock high school was held Saturday
morning and afternoon at the driving
park. Compared with the more recent
field days ofthe Y. NJ. q. A.. there is much
chance Tor Improvement, not In the earn
estness OF competition among the boys,
but in the hustlng OF one event after an
other, giving the whole that snap and go
80 ESSENTIAL to success. The trouble was
in too many OF the boysenterng for near
ly every event. This necessltated consid-
cradle delay, but will be remedied when
each young athlete finds what he is best
adapted to, and sticks to and trains for
those particular events. The morning
program was unavoidably delayed be-
cause OF the non arrival OF more than half
OF the contestants. the Calumet coming
emit, until nearly IL o'clock. This left
three events on the morning program
until afternoon, into which the manage
ment had proposed to crowd nineteen
events.
Outside Of these delays, the Hancock
high school boys may be proud OF the re-
suit OF their first field day and from
among them will come athletes who will
make the older and better known hustle
in very few years. Goldsworthy will
certainly be heard from in the inter-asso-
citation field day next September the
event in Houghton county athletics that
is the standard. He won every event in
which he entered and made some fine
sprints, although riding a T6gear wheel
for the first time. So will Ben Wieder
cut figure for points on Labor day in
the hurdle race. He ran the cleanest 100
yard hurdle ever seen on that track in
81 1-5 without knocking down single
hurdle. He has acquired sudden motor
iety by his good showing which was to-
tally unexpected.
The Calumet boys had little the best
OF the morning program, but the Han
cock boys in the end had trife the best
in the matter OF firsts. Huss, OF Hough'
| ton, made fine showing in the running
high lump.
The flvem mile bicycle race brought only
Fitzpatrick and Goldsworthy to the tape
They could not agree as to taking turns
setting the pace and the start very much
resembled slow race. Goldsw orthy ID
unequalled at that. but finally he decided
to 90 ahead, and he paced the first hall
after which the two alternated until thu
beginning OF the last hall, when thu
jockeying began again, and around TIT
track the two almost crept. The rac'
had been called off on account OF the tim'
limit, 16 minutes, being exceeded. At tn
quarter the two by common consent i
seemed started the squirt. Again, as a
iockeying for position. Goldsworthy wa
the superior.
