least four points and allowed the
varsity to win. The final score was
81 2-3 to 50 Ia; the addition of four
points to the high school count and
the subtraction of four from the
varsity's total would have reversed
the victory.
But such things are part of the bat
tie and the fact that a couple of
recalcitrant athletes refused to help
their schoolmtaes should not detract
from the glory of the freshman vic
tory. For there was glory in it.. The
varsity infants not only won the meet
but beat the famous high school relax
team, twice winner of the interscho-
laStic race.
Jimmy Brown was the hero of the
day. II was Jimmy's first real APP
pearance upon Montana field since
that day three years ago when he beat
Hauser, since famous from one end
of Montana to the other, and won in
dlVidual honors from nearly 200 of the
states finest athletes. There have
been doubters since that day who have
declared llauser a better man than
Brown. If any of them say Brown
yesterday they have been converted.
Hauser never could beat Jimmy
Brown. He is the fastest mar in the
short sprints that the ~interscholastic
meet has yet produced. Yesterday he
won the 80, the 100 and the 22O-yard
dashes; the 220-yard low hurdles and
beat Jones, the high school crack, in
the last lap of the relay race. 1t was
a remarkable performance and too
much credit can't be given the man
who did it. He is a hard-working,
modest youngster who has been rain
ing for months in preparation for this
springs races. 1t seemed mighty easy
for him to walk away from the field
yesterday; we ave seen him running
and exercising when there weren't any
crowds to cheer and when spring vic
tories were far away.
The meet was a real surprise, even
to those who had expected a hard bat-
tie. All of the races were keenly con.
tested and most of the finishes were
exciting. The sun was bright and the
stands were filled. Few better dual
meets have ever been held on Montana
field.
The race of them all was the relay.
The high school people had u%nbounded
faith in the ability of their team to
walk away from the freshmen and the
university rooters based their faith on
Jimmy Brown. just before the race
1t looked pretty doubtful. Brown had
already run o hard races and was
pretty shaky. Jones, too, was weak
after a hard quarter and a speedy
220-yard dash.
Molchior took a lead at the start,
running five yards ahead of Murphy,
the high school man. Schroeder held
the advantage through the next relay,
Anderson sticking to his heels, but
failing to gain ground. In the third
lap Whaley cut down the lead to less
than a foot, creeping up on Lansing
on the straightaWay. Jones and Brown
were tagged at the same time, but
Brown got ava better and held a
good lead to the finish. Jones wasn't
able to touch him at all.
The high hurdles furnished a sensa-
tlonal finish and upset the calcula-
tons OF the dopesters. Denny and
McI1atfle mad been picked to win the
race, for tne freshmen had no prac-
ticed hurdlers. Denny started out with
a big lead, McHaffie running second
and Denhert of the varsity third.
Halfway down the course Denhert be-
gan to pick up He was running with
out form, jumping instead of hurdling,
but he crept up on Denny and was
abreast of him at the last flight.
Denny hit the last hurdle and lost a
foot, Denhert beating him in the final
sprint. 1t was u pretty race, though
the time was slow and really won the
meet for The freshmen. The high
hurdles had been considered a high
school certainty. Denhert gave his
team an eight-point lead by winning
the race.
The distance races didn't furnish
many thrillers, for the high school
men had everything their own way.
Mohr, a likely looking ~youngster, won
both runs with ease. In the field
events big Moose Griffith, the star
OF the departmental meet, was the
sensation. He won the shot put and
the discus hurl, while Janeck, his
classlnate, was winning the hammer
throw.
The discus hurl was the final event
Of the day and upon it's outcome de-
pended the meet. Ha the high school
been able to take first and second
places the meet would have been won.
For a long time the high school men
seemed to have the event Won, but on
his last throw Griffith won out, driv-
ing Denny and McQuarrie into second
and third places.
