closely pressed by j. II. Rile. '09, and
won the race by less than seconds,
e. Il. Weldin, 10, finished third. The
time was ass S-5.
In the senior relay race another
record was broken by nearly ten sec
for the future runners of the school
to surpass. This was won by the
senior c class in 3.47 1-5. The four
runners Of the victorious team were
Shockley, Mcarns, Laclxlen and King.
A surprise was in store for the
nigh school athletes and for those
who attended the meet in the 22O yard
dash for X-IIigh school students. It
h1 Nr
a rather slow event, but after all tho
runners proved that they still are Of
the same mettle as they were when in
the school. Their time was "a 1-5, just
one second slower than the time Of the
high school runners, and these run
ners broke the record by three-fifths OF
a second ]. McCanerty, Of the class
Of '0s. who won first place, is stu
dent at the Delaware College and is
one of their runners now. II. Smith,

second and very close TO the first. j.
Armstrong. Of the class Of OF finished
third and A. Vandever and W. Rob
ertson came in fourth and fifth re-
spectively. All Of the men finished in
a bunch and it was hard TO predict

broken.
