Vermont Academy carried off the
State championship banner Thursday
in the second annual interscholastic
track meet held under the auspices of
the University of Vermont. From the
start the contest was an exciting one,
one school being ahead for time, and
then the other gaining the lead. OF
twelve schools entered for the meet,
only three sent their teams, Burling-
ton high school, Vermont Academy and
Leland and Gray Seminary. still the
meet was more interesting than that
of last year because Burlington and
Vermont Academy were so evenly
ma tched. Leland and Gray showed up
we'll too, considering that track work
has been taken up for the first time
this spring. Culver of Leland and
| Gray created the sensation of the af-

never attempted the vault before.
Baker of Burlington broke the rec

broad jump. and tied with Burrows of
| V. A. in breaking tho 220 yard hurdle
record. Rand of Burlington lowered
the interscholastic record for the 22O
