NORMAL WON
G. q. S. ATHLETES NOT IN IT
WITH HILL FELLOWS,
Superior Training by Competent
Instructor Won Dual Track
Meet.-Young Churchill
Seriously Injured.

The dual track meet of the Gree
ley High school and the Normal High
school teams was held on the athletic
grounds Of the latter institution last
Friday afternoon, and resulted in
complete victory for the Normal ath-
letes. Not first place was won by
the G. FL. S. The lack of training
by the Gree!eyites can be blamed en-
trey for the poor showing. The
Normal has in DR. Way an instructor
thoroughly competent, who devotes
practically his entire time to the
physical development OF the stu
dents, and the boys under his train
ing have shown themselves apt
pupils. They also had some advan-
tages In age, weight and facilities.
The Greeley boys have no athletic
grounds and no gymnasium, and
have never been given any training
except what little they do themselves.
Prof. Carter is something OF an en-
thusiast on athletics, but has had but
little or no tine to devote to the Toys
in this respect. Under the circum-
stances then, the defeat last Friday
was not 50 bad.

A rather serious accident occurred
on the field just after the regular
events we're finished. Harry Van
Churchill and few Others who had
taken no part in the regular events,
started out for bit OF Practice
sprint. They ran about three hun
dred yards when Churchill threw one
hip out Of joint and fell. He was
removed to his home in a buggy
| where DR.. Call was sent for. 1t was
necessary to cbloroform the patient to
put the hip back into joint. The
Young man has bad trouble of this
kind before but never so serious.
