In addition to the above it may be
said that of our High School Contes-
tants Palmer Clarke won second
place for the 50-yard dash and also
second place for the running broad
jump. Archie Dewey won third
place for the high jump. Altho
Jamestown did not capture the high
est honors in the athletic meet it
should be said that the boys have had
no opportunities for training in the
way of a gymnasium, nor did we send
a full team. Taking these things
into account Jamestown came of
creditably In the meet. S1pt.
Schmidt feels that taking the de-
clamation contest and the athletic
meet together, the jamestown High
School got the lions share Of the
honors.
