Westbrook Seminary In
Second Place.
Good Showing of Skowhegan
And Edward Little.
ESPECIAL TO THE rREss.l

place in Brunswick this afternoon, was
great success from all points of view.
The meet aroused great interest all over
the state, and drew a large crowd to
Brunswick-both contestants and root
ers.''
The following schools were represented:
Bangor, Brunswick, Deering, Auburn,
Freeport, Fryeburg, Pennington, Good
viii Farm, Kent's Hill, Maine Central
Institute, Portland, Skowhegan, Thorn
ton, Westbrook High and Westbrook Sem
mary.
Kent's Hill was an easy winner gain
ing 46 points. Her two best men were
Denning and Allen. These two men also
won the meet for Kent's Hill last year.
Denning's individual record this year
was 10 points and Aliens was 10
points. The other men from Kent's Hill
adj id good work.
Westbrook Seminary created quite a
surprise by winning second place. The
work Of her team was exceptionally good.
Leighton and Sennett were especially
good, while Snyder showed great pluck
and ability by winning the bicycle race,
Skowhegan came in second and made
on the whole great showing. Parker
was her best man. Next came Auburn
High. Clement won several points for
her Body of Deering made run in
the quarter mile.
Our Portland team won two points.
This looks like a meagre record for such
a large school to make, but it really does
not represent the work done by the Port
land boys They seemed to play in hard
luck during all the events. Chapman
got second in his trial heat in the high
hurdle race and in the final heat the
judges gave him third place, but in the
opinion of many who were standing
near the finish, he should have been
awarded second place. Emery, although
somewhat small in appearance, showed
that he was big in running ability, by
qualifying for the final heatgin the quar-
ter mile run. One of Portland's best
men, Worcester, came to the meet with
broken Tendon in his leg. He was SO
lame that it was hard for him even to
walk. He entered the half mile run,
but was unable to finish. This was a
great loss to Portland, for judging by
Worcester's past records, it is safe TO
say that if he had been in good trim, he
would have won several points for
Portland. Rowe, the captain of the
Portland: team, would have won the 29o
hurdle race easily if he had not fallen
on the next to last hurdle. AS it was
he got third place Rowe also had the
= ill-luck to draw Allen, the Kent's Hin
champion, in his trial heats, thereby
shutting him out of points which he
could have won. The officials seemed
inclined to sit on Rowe, too. They dis
qualified him from the final heat of the
220 dash since he had run in the wrong
trial heat, which was no fault of his.
So we see that, although Portland did
not win much, she deserved great deal.
