Ultimate Success Of High
School Athletics

The initial event of the Western
Slope Athletic association was de-
cided success. The weather was Just
right Saturday afternoon and the race
field sports. The grand stand was an
animated scene as the representatives
of the three contesting high schools
were there with yards of colors and
dozens of horns and yells aplenty.
Besides, the business men and the
women of Gleuwood turned out in
goodly numbers to see the fun.
1t was evident from the first that
Aspen was sure winner. The boys
were husky lot and they showed the
result of long and earnest practice.
Leadville's athletes were also in good
trim but they were not quite up to
the Aspenites and had to be satisfied
with second honors
Glenwood didn't expect anything
and consequently was not in the least
disappointed. The home boys and
girls could scarcely suppress yell of
admiration for the visiting teams when
they displayed a particularly good
sample of prowess, but they never
failed in their loyalty to their own
representatives, who really did some
remarkable work considering they had
only week 8 practice, and exclama
tiuns of ''Just wait till next year, and
we II show en- could be heard fire.
quently.
In the pole vaulting contest John
Robertson and Ray Wilson did excel
lent work. but fell down at the last
on account of not being able to stand
the strain. The other boys were in
constant practice and besides being
considerably heavier, were not so
easily tired out. Kenny of Aspen was
fine and was agile as cat in clearing
the bar. Galloway was good, also
Monberg of Lea6ville.
Townsend of Aspen made the best
Individual record and was therefore
the winner of the gold medal
In the aggregate Aspen won rs

They were fine lot and Glenwood
was glad to show them hospitality
and will be glad to have them all
back another year
The oratorical contest, although
there were only two speakers, was very
interesting. Miss Minta Edwards of
