AT MADISON.

Well, anyhow, our boys had compan-
ions in their retreat from Camp Ran
dali without laurels: Oshkosh who has
always been candidate for a good
place at these meets kept company with
the far away" city, along with many
others; the Milwaukee West Division
High School, twice winner of the cup,
and looked upon as a strong adversary
in this years contest, returned to the
city of the brew with just exactly three
points to her credit. Since Misery
Loves Company" we may console our
selves with the thought that the com
pany" includes many schools with
greater athletic pretentions than ours.
Three pieces of bad luck we certainly
had: Silverthorn fell in the 100 yard
dash, Sehofield had the worst piece of
track in the 220, and in the mile run
Goetsch was just behind runner who
fell so our man went headlong over
him. There was some exceedingly fast
work done in the field and on the track
and several of the schools that had been
counting themselves in for a place at
least left the field without it. Much
credit is due the boys and those who
have coached and encouraged them for
the hard work done even though it
brought no results in the form of hon
ors at Madison.
You can imagine how the Wausau
contingent felt when news came from
the great Conference meet held at Chi-7I
eago, while the Interscholastic was on
at Madison, that our "Bre'tv" had won
the $50 yd. run. Breitkre, has been
winning points for the U. w. right
along at various places; he was one of
the men sent to Philadelphia on the
four mile relay team, and while there
made an excellent showing
