seventeenth annual interclass field meet
of the Council Bluffs High school Fri

was close up to them however as he had
one first, tie first, two seconds and one
third to his credit, making a total of lf1R
points. V. IAndon of the seniors won two
firsts and two thirds making a total of IL
points. L. Swanson of the seniors, was
credited with one first, one second and
one third making a total of points. 3.
Wilcox of the sophomores, scored points
by winning three second places.
The conditions were anything but IA
vorable and consequently no records were
smashed. There was a strong wind blow
ing. which whirled the dust off the newly
graded track at Broadway and Twenty
fifth street in clouds about the contest
ants and the spectators alike. The dust
played no favorites and everyone got his
or her share of the flying real estate.
Enclosed Track Needed.
The grounds are not enclosed and con-
sequently there was no way OF keeping
kids or grownups without tickets iFoHl
mingiing with those who had paid theH
entrance fee. The officials were also
powerless to keep the crowd off the track
Despite these drawbacks the afternoon
program furnished some good sport ana
Principal Reed OF the high school on whose
shoulders fell most OF the burden OF the
arrangements is to be congratulated iol
the success OF the field meet under sueh
disadvantageous conditions The meet yes
