SENIORS WON THE CUP
Scored 80 Points, Juniors and
Freshmen Had 23I-2 Each
Big Individual Wlnners-Good Showing
in Several Events.

The first track meet or the Brattleboro
High School Athletic Association held
Friday afternoon at the Valley Fair
Grounds more than came up to the eX-
peCtatons of the management The
skeptical ones who spoke sightingly of
running a track meet after only a few
weeks Of training should have been there
to see the enthusiasm of the contestants
and the spectators and take a look at
the records. Although there were no
phenomenal performances the boys did
exceedingly well and would have made a
good showing in any Of the intersChOlas-
tic meets this season.
The senior class carried of the honors,
winning the class cup for the greatest
number of points made by representa-
tiNcS of the class and one of its mem
bers. Halsey Bardwell winning the in
dividual cup for the greatest number Of
points made. Florence Ferrter of the
freshman class won second place for in
diVidual score and would have pressed
Bardwel hard if he had not twisted his
leg in the high jump. The final scores
showed that Bardwcll won p points and
Ferriter l5la. The total score of the
st Nor class was 30 points and the juniors
and freshmen We're tied for second
honors with 23ia points to the credit of
each. The sophomores captured only
10 points
one of the most surprising parts to the
meet was the number of spectators. The
meet had been little advertised and a
large crowd was not expected. At least
