SENIORS ONLY 4 POINTS BEHIND

When the smoke of battle cleared
from track and field at the oval yes
terday afternoon, the class of 100
doomed through the haze a clean win
ner of the high school class games,
with a total of So points.
The seniors were a close second with
81 points and 'O1 scored a total of %.
The freshmen staked false hope On
two men for a point in the final score,
but neither landed, and the first year
class Joined in the enthusiasm of 90.
Uncertainty hung about the result
of the games until the last event on
the card. Before the announcement Of
the winners in the pole vault the score
stood 81 for &c. against AZ for the jn-
niors. In this event Harrington and
Carroll landed first and second placeu,
respectively, for the juniors and car-
Tied 100 across the tape handy win
ner.
The south section of the grandstand
was aglow with the orange and white
streamers Of 90 carried on canes,
waved in flags or Haunted in yards Of
satin ribbon. The royal purple ard
white of the seniors was worn in but
tonholes, in huge rosettes, and even in
immense neck scarfs worn by the
young lady adherents Of '99. Crimson
caps were the distinguishing mark Of
'01, and blazed in a hundred ribbon
streamers. The nile green of the fresh
men made them a conspicuous figure
in the stand. and what her represent
atives lacked in prominence in the
events a host Of adherents made up
for on the seats
Captain Moran of the high school
team was the star performer of the
day. He was a winner Of the half
mile run, covering the distance in 2
minutes, 2 3-5 seconds, establishing
new school record and one that is apt
to keep his name on the roll of honor
for some years to come. The previous
best school record was 2 minutes, 5 10
seconds, established by Albertson, '95
In the long runs Clifford proved him
self coming candidate for champion
ship honors. He ran in excellent form
and finished strong in both events,
winning both the mile and two-mile
runs. Smalley, the midget rider of the
Century club, had things all his own
way, and was a winner of both tie
long and short bicycle events.
The day was ideal and the track
never faster. The games were run off
quickly and smoothly without hitch or
delay, and from the crack of the pistol
in the first trial heat of the 100 yards
dash until the last men had cleared
the bar in the pole vault, there was
none of the distressing waits that fire.
quently mark field events Moran was
never even pushed to the limit in the
100 yards dash. In the 440 yards dash
Perry ran in grand form, and was
never headed from start to finish. He
breasted the tape strong and with
three yards lead over McCauley.
The mile bicycle race emphasized the
well known fact that the oval track Is
not suited for riding. Dixon went in
a heap on the second turn, and gen
eral smash was avoided only by quick
work on the part of Smalley trailing.
The two-mile bicycle developed imme-
diately after the pistol into loaf OF
the most pronounced type. After two
turns Of the track at turtle speed.
SmaIley pulled out, and by a clever
shift of pace. he and Kingsbury held
the lead until the stretch. Bieberbach
pulled out by the latter, but Smalley
held his advantage and won by
wheel.
