THE HIGH SCHOOL FIELD MEET.
CrescO and DecOrah Have Close Contest
at fayette. Luther Wins Second
Game From u. |. U.

The inrer.high school field meet was
pulled off as advertised at Fayette last
Friday afternoon. The Day was an
ideal one and there was large crowd
present. The field meet proved to'be
a close contest between Decorah and
Cresco, the latter winning in an ag-
gregate score of 40 points to 46 SO for
Decorah. The fact that some of the
other schools won events which de-
tracted from Decorah score without
iniuring that of Cresco is responsible
for the defeat of the home team.
These schools will not compete in the
regular northeastern Iowa high schuol
meet
