This little group, standing in the middle
|of the grandstand, afterwards hurrahed
for every victor, without regard to his
home or high school affiliations. Their
voices were high-keyed and their shrill
notes could be heard above all the other
din. The young men, on the other side
of the race track all wondered who
these vivacious damsels were, until the
latter cried, "Rah, rhu, rah, rhu, rah,
ahu, rhe, who are, who are, who are, we;
we are, we are, we are, the--Redwood
people," 1t was understood that they
were of the normal.

10 in. This was just before the high
hurdle race in which he was hurt. Three
men tied for second place: Will Rasey
of st. James; Sidney Alvin of New
Ulm, and Ben Howard of Mankato. Be-
tween these men the credits for second
and third place were divided. In the
events of the entire meet each winner
of first place secured five points for
his school; each winner of second place
three; and each winner of third place
one. Thus four points were divided
second place, each getting point and a
third.
The succeeding events resulted as fol-

| In the pole vault, Kiel, the Marshal
man, who drove spike into his heel il
the high hurdle race, again appeared OF
the scene. His nerve and grit was re
markable. Though evidently suffering 9
great deal of pain from his wound, he
nerved himself to the task of carrying
off first place for Marshall, and he did it
To KiePs courage and fortitude may
be attributed the victory of Marshall

onds. In this race Moore of Mankato
could easily have taken the third place
but he wished to save himself for. the
other events, and seeing that Coughlan
was next behind him, he let Coughlan
go in and take the third place for Man

various schools is as follows: Marshall

Ulm a 2-3; Blue Earth 4; Fairmont l J;

Mankato certainly owes large per-
centage of its points to Albert Moore.
Some of the Marshall boys were saying
that Moore ought to be a representative
of their high school instead of Mankato,
inasmuch as he began his high school
course in the Marshall high school and
would have finished his course in that
school, had he not fled to Mankato to
escape small pox, on account of which
