JUNIORS CARRY AWAY THE
HONGRS IN INTERCLASS MEET
Juniors Have Sixty-nine Points To
Foity-eight For the Balance of
the High School.

The junior class IF the high school
won the interclass track meet held at
the state fair grounds Friday after
noon between that class and the re-
mainder of the school. The score
was: Juniors, 60; school. As.
The meet was teeming with excite
ment, though a walkaway for the
Juniors, who won eight firsts out Of
a possible Is and practically all of
the seconds. Considerable specula-
ton as TO the outcome OF the meet
were made in the school during the
last week, the odds of which were in
favor of the school team. As result
quite number of the supporters Of
both sides were out in gala attire,
with streaming class and school PEN
nants, enthusiastically roofing for
their side.
In spite of the prevailing strong
wind some of the events were run in
unusually good time, while others
were not run up to standard school
time The mile, for instance, was
run very SLOW, while good time was
made on the hundred, 220 and 80
and quarter mile. No time will be
given out until the quadrangular
meet in this city in April. 1t is ru-
mored that the local school has sew
eral dark horses to spring in that
meet, and consequently the reticence.
Several surprises were sprung in
course of the meet. Burke, a new
freshman. won the 100-yard dash
away from McWhofter, who held the
record last year. Burke came re-
