Thompson of Brattleboro who won %
points in the interscholastic meet last
year, was not in prime condition, as he
has done no athletic work in three weeks
except to compete in the track meet in
Brattleboro and owing to his injured
ankle he was cautious about taking
chances. Miner was i'll throughout last
week, but pluckily insisted on starting in
the three distance runs. although not in
his usual form. He finished second in
the quarter mile and half mile in time
much slower than he made in these
events in the meet here. He landed first
in the mile after another close race
against Ferguson of Bellows Falls. This
race was repetition of the one in Brat
tleboro, although 16 seconds slower than
in the contest here. In the last half
mile Miner and Ferguson pulled away
from the field and ran side by side, with
Miner one the pole. When the final squirt
came Miner had more reserve than Fer
guson and won by few feet
Brattleboro's two young pole Vaulters,
Harris and Thayer did remarkably well,
finishing second and third, close to the
winner Goddard seminary cinched the
championship in the hammer throwing
event, securing eight points. Brattleboro
failed to get point in any of the weight
events or in the sprints. Nichols of
Vermont academy did wonderfully well
to win the 220 yard dash after he had
been penalized a yard for false starting.
Harris and Bingham of Brattleboro lost
their chances in the 100 yard dash by
being set back a yard each
