huron nlSn ScnOOl track team won
a sweeping victory in the interschoIas-

for Friday, but after a few prelimin-
aries had been run off in the morning
a heavy rain set in, which made it
necessary to postpone the events until
Saturday. The weather Saturday was
not ideal by any means, as a north
wind that was almost a gale blew all
day. The track was not in very good
shape, and yet in spite of these ad-
verse conditions the time made in
nearly every event was good.
Markey Of Huron was the sta of
the meet, taking the three short
dashes and the pole vault. He ran
the 220 in 24:1, and lowered the so
yard record from 5:3 to So. DiCkey
of the anne team was also a good
point winner, taking the discus and
hammer throws and getting a second
in the high hurdles. He tossed the
discus 121 feet, which is much better
than the average college man does,
and is a record that will stand for
many a day for high school boys to
Shy at.
Brookings high school made a fairly
good showing, tieing with Madison for
third place. Skinner won the low
hurdles and got a second in the pole
vault, while Blakely ran away from
the field in the mile.
AS an added attraction Saturday
afternoon there was a ball game be-
tween the school of mines team of
Rapid City and the college. The game
was an exciting affair, going eleven
innings and being won by Brookings
by a score of 7 to 6.
The declamatory contest held at the
college on Thursday evening was won
by Melvin Opperud of Canton. Joseph
Bergeim Of Brookings, was second,
and Harris Shannard of B~ridgewater,
third. Six schools were represented
and the work of the contestants vas
very pleasing. The judges were Profs.
Starring, Dunbar and Harding.
