and the honors went to D. McLen-
nan of Marshall, Donaldson OF
Tracy, and Jacobson Of Luverne.
Time, III seconds.
The running broad jump went to
Kennedy: Marshall's favorite ath-
lete. with D. McLennan of the same
team second and Treadwell third.
Distance, 10 feet, 10 inches.
In the 22O yard dash, the Red
wood champion again took first
honors, with D. McLennan and
Sharett of Marshall second and
third, Time, "a 3-5 seconds.
Young Gibson and Neuenschwan-
der of Redwood were the most
graceful actors in the pole vaulting.
but their muscle and skill we're no
match for the big fellows. D. Nc
Lehman took first at feet and six
inches, Hood of Marshall second,
and Donaldson of Tracy third. None
of the events of the afternoon we're
better worth looking at than the
half-mile walking match, in which
Alexander of Redwood, took the
lead from the first, only to be ruled
out when near the home stretch for
breaking Fortunately for Red
wood, Harry Ward saved our colors
from defeat and was an easy first,
with Ellery and Dresser Of Mar
shall second and third. Time, 4
minutes, 40 seconds.
The running high Jump was cas-
ilv taken by the McLennon brothers
of Marshall.
Marshall captured the 40 yard
foot race by scarcely a hand S
breadth. Had Treadwell been in
condition the story would have
been different, but half a dozen
events had tired the Redwood
champion: and he came in second
completely exhausted. Time, 55 1-5
seconds.
The running hop, skip and jump
was also won by the Marshall cham
pion, Kennedy, with record of 42
feet, II inches. McCarty of Lu-
verne was second, Weisner of Tracy
third.
The bicvcle races, the relay race
and the 22O yard hurdle race were
run off Saturday morning, on a half
mile track near Marshall. First
and second honors in the two BIZ
cycle races went to Marshall, al
though all four teams had entries.
Redwood was represented by Bald
win and Lankard, the former win
ming third in the quarter mile and
the latter the same position in the
mile race. The time for the quar-
ter mile was 36 seconds, and for the
mile minutes and 43 seconds.
Case the younger and Wallace Mead
the latter a nephew of our C. W.
Mead-were the swift flyers of
Marshall
The relay race was a novelty to
some of the spectators, and will be
made more plain to the uninitiated,
by brief description. Each COM
peting team chooses five runners
and the course is divided into as
many stations. At the start the
representative of each team is given
his school colors and is required
to pass them along to the next run
ner, and this is repeated at each of
the other stations as the runners
relieve each other. Marshall, Lu-
verne aud Tracy won this event in
the order named. Time, l minute
and 40 seconds for the half mile.
The last event of the series was
the 22O yard hurdle race Trcadwell
was really worthy Of first honors
in this event, but an accident sent
him to third place. In jumping one
of the first hurdles on the course
Treadwell tripped and fell heavily,
allowing the entire field to pass
him. Gathering himself together
quickly, the unlucky runner gave a
splendid exhibition Of clear grit by
overtaking and passing all but the
two foremost in the field, coming in
third in spite of his tumble and a
bruised shin.
