ten high. In part, the East Oregonian
says:
The showing of the Pendleton boys
was disappointment to themselves
as much as to their supporters.
Though the team was composed en-
tirely of new men with but one or two
exceptions. they expected to place in
more events. Mcdonald. who was
scheduled to win the quarter and to
place in the half mile, had bad leg
and was further handicapped BY the
cold weather. he is hot weather
athlete and could not strike bis stride
Saturday. Jordan was also out Of
form. Though he made seven OF the
points scored by his team by taking
two seconds and third in the weight
events. Brock showed up well,; He
won his heat in the 100 and taok
third in this event in the finals. In
addition he ran splendid 220 in the
relay race.
1t was Umatilla county boy that
showed the crowd how a mile should
be run. FLOYD Payne of Athena, who
is perhaps the best interscholastic
miller in the northwest won his event
with surprising ease. Taking the lead
in the first lap, be gradually in
creased it until he was more than a
hundred yards in the lead at the fin
ish.
