the shot put and discus throw; Col
| Inns, who made best distance in the
hammer throw; Harms, who took third
| in the 440-yard dash, and Kinner. third
in the half mile run. Rock Islands to-
tai would undoubtedly have been great
er. and placed it in second position, if
not first. had the team not been divid-
ed. Lift and Marquis, two of its best
men. were sent to the state meet, given
under the auspices of Illinois univer-
sity at Champaign. The best athletes
of the entire state enter this meet. and
Rock Islands entries failed to score in
such a field. Marquis was entered in
the dashes. and Lift in the weight
events
The school did not take part in the
relay race or the jumps at the Knox
meet, not entering the latter because
of the absence of Marquis, who is also
its best jumper Rain, which had
threatened during the entire day, be-
gan to fall just as the relay was start
ed. Because of the appearance of the
weather. the meet had been hurried
through, two or three events being
run off at time.
