The Normal Field Meet

| tered h1gn up III IAO ulHSIlSS,
i good sized crowd of students,
townspeople and alumni witnessed
the events. The Junior and Soph-
omore classes were pitted against
the Seniors and Freshmen. The
fact that Tom Bergh, the Sophie
more star, was unable to compete,
made the score a little one sided,
but the events were all closely con-
tested.
The bright, particular star of the
meet was Tom O'Connell, Junior,
who took first in five events-run-
ming broad jump, putting 12-pound
shot, pole vault, discus throw, and
hurdle race. His record of II feet,
9 inches, for the running broad
Jump is not often outdone in meets
of this class. Kelly Clark, a Sen
ior, with three frsts and a second
to his credit, second high man.
Wallace Gustafson, also Senior,
won third place with one first, two
seconds and third.
Other winners of FIVE points or
more were: Charles Thompson,
Senior, two seconds; Edgar Bliss,
Freshman, two seconds and one
third; Ray Junkman, Junior, one
first. The final score was Seniors
Freshmen 81, Juniors-Sophomores
80.
Much of the success of the meet
was due to the efforts of Miss
Campbell and Mr.. Wright. Through
the perfection of their arrange
ments all the events passed off
without hitch.
