HARD LUCK ALL THE WAY HIGH SCHOOLS HOLD MEET
That Pr0veS,to be Both Interesting and
Exciting
FlANDREAU CARRIED Off 1ST HONORS
Bro0kingS Suffered From Lack OF work
and Came Third

The third annual track meet OF the
high schools of this section was held
at the college athletic park Friday
afternoon. The meet was very in
teresting, and good time was made in
most OF the events, although the
weather was decidedly chilly. In the
morning number of preliminaries
we're run off, the finals being left
until 1t warmed up after dinner.
There were four high schools
entered in the meet, and the Flan-
dreau team carried off first honors
with "A points. Lake Benton, the
winners last year, were second with 81
points, and Brookings was a close
third with 2l. Lake Preston only
secured 8 points, but the team showed
up we'll. Most of the men on the
team were new to the work, but gave
promise OF developing into stars with
more training.
The Brookings team showed up
we'll for the little training they have
had this spring, and they were factors
in every event. Edwin Reeves was the
star OF the local team and secured 10 OF
the 81 points won by his team. 1t was
noticeable fact that the Brookings
boys were in nearly every case the
smallest among the contestants in
every event. Every one OF the present
team will be in school next spring and
with an early start in training there
is no reason why Brookings should
not be the winners OF the cup.
The most noteworthy performance
OF the meet was in the high jump.
In this event Skartveldt Of Lake Ben
ton, cleared the bar at 5 #. 4 inches,
a very creditable mark for the high
school athlete. He tried for the state
record OF S # inches, and just barely
missed clearing the bar. TIE relay
race was one OF the best events OF the
meet, and was won by the Brookings
team composed OF Maryland, Reeves,
Kelley and Kremer.
