! Madison, June 2.
Before a crowd of $500, Milwaukee
academy won the interscholastic meet
at Camp Randall yesterday afternoon,
with the west division high school of
that city a close second and Madison
but one point behind the second and
| four behind the winners.
All in all, it was wonderful meet,
with close races, record-smashing
! finishes, and an immense crowd-the
| largest ever at Camp Randall to see
| high schools compete-which grew
wild with excitement over every race.
Blue and red pennants brushed
against yellow and purple with utter
disregard of harmony and at times
| the great mass of people in the grand
stand and bleacheTs resembled a NOV
ing field of multi-colored flowers.
| Yells of the various schools discorded
with enthusiastic but horrible results
and save when the varsity yell broke
forth the din was terrible. The man
| agement was not as satisfactory as in
former years, and the crowd surged
over the field almost without re-
straint.
In the course Of the afternoon four
interscholastic records were broken
and the times set forth in the year
book will be changed before another
meet is held. Daniels, the Madison
high man, went into the quarter and
led the bunch around the track break
ing his record of last year and plac-
ing the new time at So fiat In the
discus Schneider surpassed his prac-
tice throws and incidentally the inter-
scholastic record by throw of 100
feet and inches. A second and
four-fifths was clipped off the 220-
yard hurdles by Morrill, of Kaukauna
and eleven seconds off the mile run
| by Breitkruetz of Wausau.
Madison won 10 points in all, and
with Daniels in the half mile and Full
Ter in the weight contests the result
would have been an easy victory for
the school that faunts a yellow
streak" as a color pennant. AS it was
Madison did some excellent work.
| Daniels won first in the 440-yard run,
Schneider captured the winning place
in the discus, Regain won second in
both the 100-yard dash and the broad
jump and third in the 220-yard run.
The 440-yard run was particularly
exciting. The Madison high support
ers knew that Daniels had been de-
! clared out of condition, but their con-
/ fidence was unlimited and when he
came in an easy winner they cheered
for a number of minutes
| The 100-yard dash was also hotly
contested In four of the trial heats
the time was 10 2-5 and it was easy to
see that the winner must beat that in
the final. Richardson of Evansville
ran it in 10 Is, with Regain close be-
hind. In the broad jump Regain
cleared 20 feet, 9 inches near the first
and then let all other competitors
take their trials to equal the distance.
But one man managed to pass it and
feet, 27a inches.
Although the meet was highly sue
cessful the usual number of kicks
were circulated on the streets last
evening.
East side, Milwaukee, had a griev-
ance about the shot put and declared
that the tape broke, was mended and
measurements afterward taken with
out allowing for the knot. Madison
protested Richardson unofficially.
Some said ne was beyond the age
limit and others that he was a pro-
officials held a meeting. to consider
the points, but Prof. R. B. Dudgeon
stated last night that nothing
had been done and that it
was probable the matter would
be dropped Should he be de-
clared ineligible Madison would be
tied with Milwaukee Academy for
first place.
