Seneca on Friday afternoon. Four
teen boys from each school ran.
three-quarters OF mile EACH West
minister winning by fifty yards.
l.. q. Marett, for Westminster,
gained 20 yards on Ballenger, Sene-
cas- best runner, in the first lap.
Time, minutes, 0 seconds. G. d.
Marett held the distance given him
in the second. Breazeale in the
third gained ten yards more on SEN
eca. Glymph increased the distance
twenty yards. King, in the fifth
lap, gained ten yards. c. l.. Foster
gained fifteen yards more in the
sixth. Anderson, who ran up Rich
land Hill, gained % yeards, placing
Westminster 80 yards ahead at
Richland, half way. Vandiver held
his own in the eighth. billiard gain
ed five Yards in the ninth. McDon-
aid, in the tenth. lost 20 yards. In
the 11th lap Seneca's best runner
regained on Foster all but Is yards.
In the 18th Seneca's hopes were
high, as they were 100 yards in the
lead at the beginning Of the 18th
lap, but Barnett for Westminster re-
gained this, giving the two runners
at the last lap an even start. Zim-
norman for Westminster came in 90
yards ahead of Seneca. The time
from start to finish was 80 minutes
Seneca had every advantage they
could wish for, as Prof Brnckman
was formerly the superintendent of
the Westminster school and knew
the boys on both sides. Therefore
he knew exactly where to place the
Seneca runners.
About 75 pupils and eight Of the
teachers were in Seneca to see the
flush and loudly cheered the win
ners when they recognized Zimmer-
man IN the garnet and black coming
III ahead. Westminster was in the
lead at all points except in the 18th
lap. The boys deserve lot of
praise, especially because Seneca
had been in two races with Walhalla
and had had four weeks practice.
while Westminster had only had one
week in which to prepare.
This makes Westminster the cham
pions in Oconee county, as Seneca
had won over Walhalla in both
races by good margin.
Each team gave several wells for
the other and parted after having
arranged for a similar race next
spring.
