the meet.
The annual fnterhigh school meet was
! held yesterday, and as has been the case
for number OF years the track squad
representing Central romped away with
the majority of the points. scoring an
| easy victory over Technical and Business.
] the only other two Institutions which hal
men entered. The resulting score at the
end Of the events found the Blue and
White totaling almost double what had
been Tailed by their nearest rivals, Tech
which ran up thirty-five points in all.
Neither Western nor Eastern had Q
single man entered in the meet the
reason for the lack of interest shown be-
ing that they have been so wrought up
| over the closeness of the base ball series
| that they have not had the opportunity
| to train for the event, and. besides, the
| best men on each team were out for
the base ball team. and consequently had
| little time to work out on the track
Business had but a single entry, and
that was Dillon in the half mile. and he
came second in his event
For the reason that She meet was held
at College Park and that il was almost
| foregone conclusion that 1t would be all
Central as far as the scoring of points
| Went, there were few spectators who
wended their way out to the park to
| witness the events. II was the most
poorly attended meet that has ever bean
held by the schools.
Few Good Performances.
The performances which were shown b.
| the men in the different events were An
the main mediocre. There were a few IN.
stances in which the runners did exceo-
! tionally well, but in the majority OF
| cases the records were not up to stand.

In the 2a0-yard hurdles, Blackstone OF
Central did good work, doing the timbers

time for the distance for a scholastic run

any too good condition.
The best individual performances of the
day went to Reuter- and Kelly of Central

poor performance by any means.

Both men, besides doing excellent work In
the individual events. ran well in the re-

Central and Reuter- the last. Reuter- did
his last relay in exactly 30 seconds. the
distance. though. being a little short for
the quarter.

was the Jack Of condition OF some OF the

runner they have been at times this
Season.
Good Showing by Tech.
Technical made the best showing
against Central that any high school
team has made against the Blue and
White in any spring meet In a number
of years. 1t has been g. long time since
any other Of the local high schools have
scored thirty-five points against Coach
Foley's aggregation of runners. And at
that 1t was not the great strength OF the
Technical team which enabled 1t to do
as Well as it did. Central failed to put

The first event of the day was the
pole vault and Ii was there that Central
