upon she sent a practically green team
to compete with such men as Snow,
Hunt and Connors of Bangor, Senior of
Hebron, and Dunlap of Brunswick.
The events went off with snap and
precision, rejecting much credit on the
officials in charge.
In the sprints, Hunt of Bangor and
Furbish of Brunswick completely out
classed all other competitors, Cookson
finishing poor third in the 100 yards
dash and not being able to get place
of Bangor, as it did last year, with Chase
of Portland u good second.
The half mile and mile were most I'M
satisfactory from Portland standpoint,
as both were finished under protest. The
mile especially looked like sure thing,
but through some misunderstanding by
the officials, it was awarded to Bangor,
with Portland in second place.
Latter the officials held a meeting and
sustained the protest in the mile, giving
Portland first place and Bangor second
and third. No change was made in the
decision for the half mile.
Watson Of Portland made a lasting
name for himself by winning the high
hurdles In 16 80 seconds, clipping 1 TO
seconds off his old record. This was the
only record which was broken, and was
a most creditable performance on such a
heavy track.
In the bicycle race Senior of Hebron
was shocked and surprised to see his sure
thing carried off by Thompson of Port
land, while Turner, who seemed a safe
man. completely lost his sand and gave
in without a struggle, not even finishing
his race
The field events went off with very lit
tie friction, the most notable performance
being Murphy of Portland, who won first
place in the running high jump and run
ming broad jump, and second in the
standing high. Hunt of Bangor seemed
to be whole team in himself. To this
man Bangor owes IA 1-3 points.
The final score stood: Bangor, A 2-3
Portland, ~; Hebron, 49,; Brunswick,
II 1-3; Bath, 4; Lewiston, 4. This shows
that Portland had her usual hard luck,
in not winning quite enough to take the
cup. A little change of Judgment might
have won for Portland but it was not to
be. So with but two and two-third
points behind her old rival, Portland will
have to give up the long coveted cup for
good and all.
view was the most successful ever held
in the history of the association.
In the evening a very pleasing concert
was given by some BoWdoin students at
