than took part yesterday TO down Rich-
mond and JudsOn. the two stars on
the West Side High school
The crowd was large and composed
principally of rOOters for all of the
schools. Specials from Park City and
Ogden brought down hundreds to cheer
for the outside schools. Right here
it might not be amiss to say that when
it comes to roofing, the Ogden girls
have ali the maidens in the state
backed off the boards. West Side,
East Side and Park City also had their
fair ones, but the Ogden misses perched
high on the northeast bleacheTs were
the whole show in the roofing line

Early in the meet it quickly devel-
oped that the race for the champion
ship rested between the West Side and
ogden Highs. Park City and the East
Side were unable to fill all Of the events

den. led Stenhouse by a scant foot,
and the 2G0 yards to the first relay
was run i'm this position Douglas and
Richardson picked the runners up, but
were unable TO change the relative pO-
sitions until the quarter was reachd-
Then came the mighty Judson of the
West Side High to the rescue, and it
was marvellous the way he opened the
gap on Calvert. Richmond entered on
the last stretch with A big lead, which
he held to the finishing tape

The fight between Richmond and
Tyler of Ogden for first in the high
Jump was also close and interesting.
With all of the other contestants, both
failed on. the , foot 1 inch mark On
the second trial both covered the bar.
and it was sent one inch higher. Rich
mond cleared it with ease on the first
jump. when Tyler gave it up, con-
tenting himself with second place.
The 100-yard dash, upon which Og-
den banked so much, was ready money
for JudsOn. Taking the lead at the

At the close Of the meet Professor
Cummings presented the West Side
High school with the state champion
ship banner, and each of the winners
with medals. The track was in mis-
