LOCALS TOOK RELAY FLAG
Wyland and Hull Are Individual
Stars, Making All But Five of
Moline's Score of 5sIl.

Rock Island high school lost the
dual track meet with Moline Saturday
afternoon by the narrow margin of
two points, but it won the only tronhy
banner posted-that for the relay race
which was taken by the local team
with scarcely any contest. Moline
scored 59h points in the meet while
Rock Islands count was two points
less. Wyland of Moline was easily
the individual star of the meet. and
Moline would have had no chance at
all had he been in anything but the
best of condition. He won five first
places, two second place ribbons and
tied for one third place, making him
a total of 31h Hull of Moline pulled
down two first, four seconds and a
third place, and scored total of %
points. Hull and Wyland together
scored all but five Of Molines points.
Hubbard took two first places and
tied for second in the mile. giving
him total of II points.
An Excellent Showing.
The showing of the local athletes
| was surprising, for with Moline's con-
ceded strength in the sprints and
| weight events, the dope" was that
| Moline should win by about Is points.
Slaughter, Rock Islands colored ath-
lete, took first in the 900 dash, and
| this was largely the reason the Mo
line points were held down. In the
distance events Moline had no chance
whatever, and made little pretense OF
contesting for the places. In these
events Rock Island took nine points
| for each.
! The records made were good. con
| sidering the condition of the track
and the fact that in several events
where the time was remarkably good
the contest was not between the two
| schools but between the individual
members of the Rock Island team.
