Pole Vault.--It was in this event
that the state record was again
smashed and by our own little Hen
bricks, who vaulted feet inches.
This feat came unexpected to his
friends and was therefore all the
more pleasing, adding, as it did,
points to the Brookings score. Hen
bricks made the prettiest vault Of any
man on the job and his work was done
so easily and quickly as to claim the
admiration OF the crowd. He only
made four vaults to claim his victory
and was carried off on the shoulders Of
his colleagues with shouts Of joy and
delight. The second place was hotly
contested and then resulted In draw
after five trials apiece. The points
were divided between Yankton and
Mitchell.
Half Mile Run--This event added
i another 5 to the score of Brookings
finals and a gold medal to the breast
of Hayter. There were no prelim-
inaries and following, as it did, close
on the heels of several victories, the
loss of the mile bicycle race was for
/ gotten, and Brookings was in high
feather. Hayter won out easily in
2 minutes and seconds, Hoard Of
Yankton second and Turney Of
Mitchell third.

Brookings forged ahead s points by
taking first and second places and the
state record went to smash by a dis
tance Of nearly foot. Madden and
Mathews set hot pace for their op-
ponents right from the start and 1t
could be seen that they would come
of easy victors although there was no
idea of beating the state record. The
boys were In good form and IL soon
became quite an interesting contest
between the two Brookings athletes
for first place. When Mathews
reached Al feet 1-2 inches, beating
the state record, 1t was thought that
he had captured the gold medal, but
young Madden was not satisfied and
gathering himself together he as
tonished his friends by going ALL 1-2

ings carried of its champions amid
great enthusiasm. Mcleod of Yank-
ton took third place.

by Hayter In AL "a, the state record
