the various events was fast All the
events were well contested, especially the
sprints, which. were run close 70 record

The surprise Of the day was the man
ner in which Howard Young won the
pole vault and broad jump from Cor
don Hyde who was counted on as an
easy winner in both these events, but
he was beaten out by Young, who had
not decided to enter the meet until the
last moment. Another star performer
Stanley Wood, who ran second in
the half-miIe run and first in the 40
yard dash In the latter event he let
out a burst of speed about eighty yards

lead over his opponents. He runs in
fine form and has good wind. Judging

by Hyde who put it 80 feet Kimball
was second and D. Richardson third. In
the missile IS feet 9 inches, and as Critch-
low, last years man, is the only man
beating this distance, Richardson ought
to make a place in this event The re-
suits of the jumps were also satisfac-
Hyde won the high jump. with Car
michel and Elwart tieing for second.
Hyde easily cleared the bar at feet 2
inches, which equals the state high school
