OF tn0 henson OOYSs
The Denson High School athletes
were defeated in a very hotly contested
track meet with the Harlan high school,
last Saturday. While the score stood
IS to Al most of the events were won by
the closest margins. The Harlan boys
have the cordial support of the com.
munity in all athletic contests. In fact
Harlan's example in encouraging and
supporting such events is splendid and
worthy of emulation. Physical con
tests, while not as important as orator
lcal contests and debates, deserve recog
milton and are gaining in popularity
we believe in Denison. The Harlan
boys also enjoy the advantages of fine
half mile track convenient to the town.
Their victory was fairly won and de
cisive, Following is 4 brief account OF
the events:
The 100 yard dash was won by Byers
of Harlan, Cassaday OF Denison a close
second and Burcham of Harlan 3D. II
was a pretty race with Cassaday lead
ing the first fifty yards.
Allen of Harlan unexpectedly won LIST
in the IL lbs shot put with record of
IS tt. 2 in. Ranniger of Denison who
had a home record of 40 TT. 4 in. was
only able to secure n 2nd place with IS
TT. in, Rurcham of Harlan Sd. Traf
fer Walker also failed to equal his home
record and failed to qualify.
Cassaday of benson won the 100
yard hurdle race handily from Burcham
of Harlan, Ti'tou of Harlan 3D.
The half mile proved an easy thing
for Mayne, Harlan's crack long distance
runner. Moore of Harlan was pad,
Potter of Denison 3rd. Time 2:Oo.
In the so yard dash Byers, Burcham
and Cassaday we're close competitors for
first place, but were gwen places ac
cording to the above order, although
the opinion was practically unanimous
that Cassaday won 2nd place.
In the Hammer Throw Ranniger of
Denison again failed to win although
he had been throwing so feet at home.
James Walker, however, secured LIST
place. for Denison with throw of SO
tt. 10 ln., Burcham 2nd with so TT, in,
Allen of Harlan 3rd.
Byers won the 220 from Ray Randall
of Denison after the hardest kind of a
fight. James Walker won 3rd easily.
In the running .high jump Burcham
of Harlan won with a fiue record OF )
tt. in, Cassaday and Allen tying for
End place at 5 feet.
Allen of Harlan won the mile bicycle
race from Frank Young in very ex-
citing contest. Willie Lehfeldt passed
Campbell, winning Bird place.
The pole vault Was the prettiest event
of the day and the Denison boys made
Burcham of Harlan do more than he
thought he possibly could do and more
than he had ever done before. Frank
Young won 3rd place falling out at 81
feet. Cassaday made the excellent
record of 8 feet but failed at feet 4
inches which Burcham cleared.
Randall again showed up strong in
the 440 yard dash giving Byers merry
chase for LIST place and beating the "ln
vincible" Mayne by three feet.
The running brold jump resulted in
some fine records, Burcham winning
first place with a jump of is feet IL:
inches, Tilton Of Harlan End at Is feet
81 inches and Chester Potter of Deniso1
3rd at Is feet inches.
In the half mile bicycle race Frank
Young would undoubtedly have wo1
End place had he not lost his toe clip:
and pedals in the last quarter. AS il
was he fell, bravely escaping beins
struck by Lehfeldt who finished 3rd
Allen and Campbell OF Harlan won Isl
and End.
Mayne again showed his superiority
in the mile run, finishing first. George
Morris ran plucky race, however, fin
ishing End, Chas. Gable 3rd.
Although beaten, the Denison boy
were happy for they made magnificen
fight and defeat under such circum
stances, is no disgrace Every one en-
joyed the trip hugely and looks forward
to next years meet when an opportun
ity will be given to retrieve this defeat
