SCHOOL FIELD MEET
Big Crowd Gathered at Fair Grounds
Last Friday to Witness the
Many Athletic Contests.
In Consequence of Indictment Weather
poned to Saturday Next.

NlTlS Dali OdUe was FOSI"
poned to Saturday Next.
Prof. Marshall and his band of
high school athletics can be given
considerable credit, first, for devising
a scheme to convert the energy
usually wasted in class fights into
energy and skill which can be used
for money-making purposes, and
second, for the clean manner in which
the field meet was pulled off. No
evidence of wrangling was manifested
throughout the whole event and the
stunts pulled off were, any one Of
them, worth the price of admission.
To imagine more disagreeable
day than last Friday for an outdoor
field meet would employ all the crafti-
ness of a genius, and it would not
have been in the least surprising had
there not been a dozen rooters at the
fair grounds. Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather, however,
the loyal rooters thronged to the field
of battle by the hundred and when
the gatekeeper finally got a chance to
count the cash, he found that the P.
81. S. Athletic association was thirty
four dollars and ninety cents richer
than it was before he took his seat
at the gate.
The members of the high school,
boys and girls, had been formed into
clubs, one club being captained by
Lisle Jesmer and the other by Harold
Galley. A great deal of spirit had
been aroused and the most promising
athletes had put themselves in good
condition for the event. Several of
the local chaufeurs sped their autos
around the track for preliminaries
and the real fun began.
In the pole vaulting contest Archie
Hull, Jess Angstman and Chas. UNI
behocker took the three prizes for the
Jesmer club. They we're opposed by
Lawrence Angstman and William
Roos for the Galley club, but these two
failed to equal their opponents.
In the girls tug of war the Jesmer
club also carried off the honors after
a pretty contest of strength.
The girls jumping contest ended with
The first place being taken by Mae
Marvin and third place by Emma
Rosin, both for the Galley club, while
Clara Rosin won second for the
Jesmer club.
The boxing match between Henry
Shockley and Wallie Berg resulted in
a victory for Berg and the Galley club.
Clyde Robideau and Archie Hull
took first and second respectively in
the l00-yard dash, while Herbert
Fisher took third for the Galley club.
The wrestling match between Jess
Angstman and William Roos was a
contest of science and strength and
resulted in victory for Angstman
after ten minutes of fast work.
In the girls bicycle race Mae
Marvin took first and Beth Fox
second for the Galley. club, while
Kathryne Void took third for the
Jesmer club.
In the boys standing broad jump
Clyde Robideau and Chas. Umbe-
hooker took first and second respec-
lively for the Jesmer club, while Roos
took third for the Galley club.
The severe chilliness of the weather
permitted of only one inning of the
girls baseball game, and this resulted
in victory for Jesmer's girls by a
score of 4 to 3. The game will be
finished next Saturday as a prelimi-
nary for the ball game between the
Princeton and Mora high school
teams at the fair grounds.
Sheriff Shockley and Frank Could
ing judged the contests and declared
the Jesmer club the winner.

sembly hall which was much appreci-
ated by the audience. The program
was one of the best ever presented by
the association-every number was
rendered in excellent manner. The
high school orchestra, under the
dictatorship of Miss Smith, added
much to the attractiveness of the en-
tertainment. This orchestra is max
ing remarkable progress and bids fair
to become one of the best in the state.
The Athletic association is deserv-
ing of generous patronage for it is
doing much toward furnishing the
community with frst-class amusement
features.
