Afternoon Before a Large Crowd
Grand Rapids Second. and Stevens
The hoodoo that has so long disturbed
the Wausau field meets failed to
manifest itself last Saturday afternoon
and beautiful day with almost ideal
temperature for field and track events,
greeted the young athletes from the
Grand Rapias, Stevens Point and Wau-
sau high schools, as they gathered on the
| held and clnder track TO contest for
honors in running, hurdling, vaulting,
jumping and throwing weights.
1t was evident soon after the start
that Wausau would have little difficulty
in winning first place, and this took
away to some extent the interest usually
felt by both attendents and contestants
1t would have been better for all con-
cerned had the meet been more closely
contested. Our visitors were at some
disadvantage in not being here IN full
force, some members of their teaTas
having been disqualified on account of
poor scholarship. As result there was
not the supreme effort made that is
usually put forth, and SO not many ex-
cellent records were made. The mile
run needed some ginger very much.
George Silverthorn was the star of
the afternoon. He won first place in
the 100 yd. dash, the shot put, the broad
jump, the 220 yd dash and tied Natwick,
OF Grand Rapids, for first place in the
high jump. Oscar Bromberg and
Stanislaw Burek were also favorites,
the former winning first in the dis
cuss throw and the half mile run,
the latter winning first in the high
hurdle and the mile run. Don Wilson
won first place in the 440 yd. dash, and
carried off number of second and
third places in other events. Elmer
Young surprised everybody by throw
ing the hammer 125 feet 5 in thereby
winning five points.
For the visitors, Arpin B. Mcdonald
and Natwick of Grand Rapids and
Young and j. Mcdonald of Stevens
Point were the leading point winners.
The officials performed their work in
such satisfactory manner that they
won general approval
