Events.

The triangular contests, between the
Seniors, Freshmen and Lower Glass
men of the Wausau High School, was
held Saturday afternoon at the Fair
Grounds The attendance was not at all
what it should have been. The winners
will compete with Grand Rapids and
Merrill in the interscholastic meet at
Merrill next Saturday and later on at
the state meet in Madison
The Seniors and Freshmen had ex
pected to walk off with all the honors
but the Lower Classmen turned up with
a few clark horses and distanced the
Freshmen and but for an ''if or two"
might have beaten the Seniors. As it
was the Seniors won by the narrow
margin of five points. The Lower
Classmen losing on the field events
after winning six firsts on the track
events.
The surprise of the day was the de-
feat of r. McCrossen by Will Scholfield
in the three short dashes, winning 10
points for the Lower Classmen, after
the closest contests of the day The
prettiest sight was Ralph McCrossen's
hurdling, he winning both of these
races, taking two firats for the Seniors.
Another very promising athlete is
Breitkreutz, who took three firsts for
Juniors on the track, winning the mile
and half runs and the half mile walk in
hollow style. Joe Fleming won the
two bicycle races for the Classmen.
The results in detail are as follows:
