While the thousands of pretty girls
in the grandstand were waving pen
nants and the bands cheering the con-
testing schools to their final effort two
of the boys were under the doctors S
care as the result of accidents. Marvin
Watson, a member of the Franklin
relay team, sustained a broken right
forearm by tripping over one of the
finish tapes in practice, while Herbert
Fahy of the Prescott school attempted
to run in the unlimited class with a
strained thigh muscle, and was car
ried from the field.
There were 81 schools entered and
being scored previous to today's meet
The rope jumping of both the boys
and girls was also scored in the school
yards.
Without respect to- number the con-
testantS for each school started in
groups, and total time from the first
to the last runner was averaged and
added with the percentage of students
running In the so pound class, for
instance, 100 points for average time
was allotted to 6 seconds time, figured
as the best possible for 40 yards.
1t was this group running and the
rope jumping that counted for the 10
cups. and for about two solid hours
there was a continual stream of young
America running across the field for
the different distances and weights,
there being official timers and starters
for the different schools that were all
running at the same time.
