The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1913-06-02

Brattleboro high schools track team,
composed of 13 boys, competed against
/ athletes from four other schools at
the eighth annual interscholastic meet
conducted by the Athletic association
of the University of Vermont at Bur
lington Saturday and won a hard earn
ed victory by scoring SD points to 46
| by Goddard seminary and 3412 by
| Troy Conference academy. One man
from Springfield high scored 612 points
for his school and Burlington high
managed to score 3 points.
1t was clean-eut victory against
odds of age that were ignored by the
other schools, especially Goddard sem
mary, from which Moses, a former Elk
] eter athlete who had made record
at the Dartmouth interseholastics
/ year or two ago, was entered and who
scored numerous points for his team.
/ Not only was there odds of age but
! foul running on the part of Feely of
/ Goddard III the half mile cut Sanders
/ off from at least third place and the
i protest made to the judges was ig
nored.
Sherman S defeat in the short dash
was a disappointment to the followers
record in the 800 yards dash was
cause for elation He was first called
upon to run the go wards dash. Then
he went Immediately into the broad
/ jump in which he tied for second
place, and was then called to complete
in the finals of the 100 yards dash and
this after preliminaries in both dashes
had been run in the morning. He was
set back a yard in the 400 for a false
start, but came through and finished
second in the rather slow time, for
him, of 10 3-5ths. seconds.
The track was in poor condition, the
two outside lanes being especially poor.
In one the grass covered a part of it
and the other was strewn with refuse,
pieces of slate and stones. But those
conditions were as fair for one runner
as another. So narrow were the lanes
that the runners frequently fouled each
other unintentionally.
In the half mile, however, Feelv- ran
Intentionally foul. He was running
ahead of Sanders as they neared the
home stretch and Sanders attempted
to pass him. Feely threw his spiked
feet wide to keep Sanders from coming
too close to him and as Sanders turned
ny
block him off The result was that
Sanders finished fourth and protested
to the judges, who paid no attention
to the protest
But Brattleboro won in spite of the
fact that none but schoolboys competed
for the school, and won against this
example of foul running and the COM
petition of men old enough to be com

tory schools. 1t was a deserved Vic
tory and to the members of the team
who have worked so hard and to Coach
Stoltc, who has been untiring in his
efforts to develop the team, is due all
praise.
The first few events, with the ex-
ception of Sherman S defeat in the 100
yards dash, resulted about as the Brat
tleboro boys had figured they would.
Cook came through with a win in the
hammer throw and Harlow ran pref
. ty race i'll the mile and pulled down
three points for second place w. Has
keil and Angler scored eight points il
: the high hurdles and Fits and Rice
got second and third in the quarter
! and when w. Haskell, Angler and
Bingham qualified for the finals in the
9 low hurdles against only one compcti
0 tor from Goddard the ultimate victory
depended upon the result of the high
. jump. If Brattleboro could win th(
o most points in that Goddard wa,
: hopelessly beaten.
: And Thayer delivered He cleared
J, the bar at feet inches and no 9th
er competitor could touch that mark
/. Then Rice helped out with secont
: place and it was all over but the for
: mality of running the finals in the Low
