 "JdCkrdbbitS" SCORE WAS 6317 TO 541z Yesterdays Contest at Fair grounds Resulted In De- cisive Victory for Tempe Normal Over High School In Track Athletics.
SCORE WAS 637z TO 5417

of the year beteen Tempe Normal and Phoenix high school at the fair grounds yesterday, the latter went down to de- feat with the score of 631a to 541k. The contest was fought bitterly and stubbornly from start to finish by both teams. To the Phoenix high school it meant the realization of their ambition to be the champion track team of the territory; to the Norinals victory would wipe out the stigma of the first de- feat last october.
 At the end of the first five events the score stood 31 to II in favor of PhOe- nix. The hopes of the Coyotes ran high at this point in the contest. At the end of the sixth event the score was 36 to 15 in favor of Phoenix. The first hint of disaster came when Smith who was counted on to win all of the weight throwing events for Phoenix, was disqualified while casting the discus He accidentally stepped over the edge of the ring and was counted out. That gave points iu a bunch to the Nor mals It was the first little storm cloud that appeared on the horizon that had been clear and bright for the Coyotes a moment before. Still Phoenix was so far ahead that it seemed hardly pos sible she would lose the contest. But the little cloud on the horizon got big ger and blacker when the high jump was in progress. It was soon found that the Coyotes, while they had just as long legs as the Jackrabbits, could not get the resiliency out of them that the Normals did. Out of the points in this event Phoenix got only F point. In the high hurdles also the Jackrab bits long legs did the work and they captured first and second place, and in the broad jump they got first and third
 The final touch was put on the cred itable work done by the Normals when they won the relay. This event threw the meet to the Nornals.

 The tie resulting from this meet will have to be settled next year. Al though the Phoenix team won the cup offered by the fair commission for the best track team in the territory it can hardly be considered the champion team after the victory won over it yesterday The lost laurels will have to be regained in some future meet with the Normals.
 That the Normal team won in a fair and square manner was the opinion of all of the high school men seen. And they did this in the absence of one of their crack men, Sheldon. Smith who won two firsts in the weights but who was disqualified in the discus throw said:
 The judgments of the referees in | every case were satisfactory. We had l hard luck and some of the men were | not in very best of condition. have | no fault to find with anyone. 1 am | willing to acknowledge that the Nor mals won through sheer ability. Of | ,ourse it is not certain that another | contest would bring about the same, results. The elements of luck enters largely in all athletic contests But in this contest they put up better fight than we did and deserve what they got"
