According to present indications the
Fergus County High School will be-
we'll represented at the Missoula Ath-
letic meet, as we'll as in the declam.
atory contest. Arrangements will be |
made to send all the f1rst-class men |
that the school can develop. Two
members of last years track team, |
Belden and Tavenner, will probably |
be sent again, the former to do the |
sprints and the latter the middle dis j
tances and the hurdles. Grupe, Ed |
ridge, Anderson and Crowley have an
nounced their intention of trying for
long distance and weights.
The final declamatory contest takes
place on the 28th of April. There will
be six contestants and the winner will
represent the school at Missoula.
Those in it are Leo Beebe, Ralph
Tavenner, Archie Farnum and Irene
johnson. The other two will be the
winers of the third preliminary on
April 14th.
Tavenner. the High School middle
distance runner, ran a quarter-mile
against time last Thursday afternoon.
Time was SO badly beaten that we
couldn't bear to mention the record.

ter-scholastic track and field meet and
declamatory contest has been receiv-
ed. The conditions are practically the
same as last year. The University of
Montana has charge of proceedings
