BLOOMINGTON, Ind, May 14.-One OF
the greatest crowds Jordan Field has
known was in attendance at the first meet
of the Indiana Interscholastic Athletic As
ISOLATION. which was held here to-day. The
sturdy athletes of the Bloomington High
School far out-distanced their competitors
by piling up a grand total Of thirty-four
points. The Manual Training team of In
dianapolis took second place with twenty
points and Sheridan third with sixteen.
The Shortridge lads, Of whom only SIX
were present, made a wonderful showing
considering the fact that the Manual Train
ing School was represented by its entire
squad OF twenty track and field men,
Ehortridge took fourth place with fifteen
points. The other teams scored the follow
ing points: Lafayette, six; Salem, six;
Goshen, five; Frankfort, four; Linton, four
Hammond three; Huntington, one; Marion,
one; Richmond, one. The following teams
failed to win point: East Chicago, Mon
ticeIlo, Nob!esvilIe, North Manchester and
yeedersburg.
Buckley, OF Bloomington, won the all
round championship. Buckley added thlr-
teen points to Boomingtons score and

a drizzling rain fell all morning and until
almost time for the starting or the irSI
event. The track and field were conse-
quently in poorer shape than they would
have been had the weather remained clear.
The rain, however, did not dampen the
enthusiasm of the supporters or the con-
testants, and the grand stand and bleachers
were gay with the eolors waved by the
spectators. George Steep took the mile run
IN easy fashion. After Buckley, OF Bloom
ington, won the pole vault. David Allerdlce,
of Shortridge, was called upon by the spec
tators for an exhibition, but refused.
Owing to a slight rain during the running
of the first trial of the 1O0-yard dash, the
athletes and spectators were forced to seek
shelter until the downpour had suDslded
