NN.O.H.S.FIELD MEET
College Freshmen Win Event by
Score of 81 to 80.

Penn Freshmen took the field meet
with High school at the Fair grounds
friday p. m. before large number of
enthusiastic onlookers. The meet,
which practically opens track work
for the season, was a spirited affair.
Some excellent records were made,
much to the surprise of every one.
Penn practically took all tnS track
events, while the High school fellows
came near taking all the field events.
High. school made an excellent
showing against Penn, although hand
icapped by not having efficient sprint.
ers. The real feature of the meet
was the 440 yard dash in which
Brunker of High school took first
place, leaving O'Brien, PENIS star
runner, in second place. This was
one of the best races ever witnessed
in the city. Brunker is a new man
in the sprinting business, but seemed
to have little trouble in fairly flying
away from his competitors. He ran
the distance in 81 seconds, a record
good for a High school lad and espe-
cially on a dirt track. O'Brien of
Penn made despairing effort to over.
take his opponent, but failed. The
hopes of the High school to place in
the state meet rose to the overflow
ing when Brunker clearly outclassed
all competitors.
Roland Russell was the star point
winner for the High school. He
placed in every event entered and in
several took first place. 1t kept Rol-
and busy running from one event to
another in order to be a competitor.
In other words he was what might be
termed utility man." He easily won
first in the high jump, discus and ham,
mer. He took second in the broad
jump, pole vault and shot put.
Penn won the meet on points, the
score being 81 to 80. The following
