The senior class of the local high |
school defeated the combined classes |
of ~, IA, is, '16, IT and '18 Fri |
day afternoon by the score of 5S to
46 in the first interclass track meet |
ever held in the Ashland high school. |
The afternoon was an ideal one for
athletic exercises and one of the larg-
est crowds ever attending the high
school athletics turned out to witness
the contest.
Every senior boy took some part in
the meet, while there were also
large number of juniors and gradu-
ates as we'll as under-classmen upon
the field. The West Side school also
sent two representatives, both OF
whom made very creditable show
ings. Each event had the first four
places counting for points, five
points being credited for first place,
three points for second place, two
for third, and one for fourth place.
The winners cf points are to be given
ribbons for each event in which they
won points; a blue ribbon for first
place, red for second, and white for,
third. The color of the fourth has
not yet been decided.
The first event of the afternoon
was the 50-yard dash, in which eight
athletes took part. The race was
close and exciting and it was only
with difficulty that the judges de-
cided on the winners, who were:
Phillips first, Asheraft second, Grubb
third, Mills fourth.
The shot-put exhibition was next
in order, and although no points
were awarded, the exhibition was
very interesting. Phillips had the
best record with II feet 9 inches,
while Delsman OF the West Side
school beat Hub Poor with a dis
tance of 3S feet inches.
The high jump and the 100-yard
dash were next, Phillips and Poor tie
ing for first place and Frame and
Mills tieing for fourth place in the
former, while Grubb won third. Five
feet inches was the record. In the
100 the seniors managed to take one
more point than the school, Poor
taking first and Ashcraft fourth
place, while Grubb and Gumaer for
the school finished second and third
respectively Poor's time was II
seconds.
In the mile run the school team
left the seniors behind and won all
four places. Freeman, Tweed, Spen-
Ger and Frame was the order in
which they finished Freeman's time
was rather slow, being minutes and
80 seconds, but this may be account
ed for by the fact that he was trying
The 2:20 was easily won by Phillips;
Poor and Peters were tied for sec

without a doubt that the seniors are
not the only ones in the school that
are strong in athletics, for the jun.

day Mills and Tweed were second
and third in this run, while fourth
place, which was between Bob
Wagner and Paul Williams, wa.

time was 2:14.
The quarter-mile was the next rul
and it was followed by the pole-vault
ing contest. Phillips, Poor, Gumael
and Ashcraft was the order in thu
finish. Time, 1 minute flat. Th'
pole vault was hard race betweel
Phillips and Grubb, the former win
ming out. Mowat was third ant
Moody fourth. AS there was yer,
little time left for the baseball gam
the relay race was abandoned, bein'
forfeited to the school.
The results of the broad juml
show that we have some very goo'
new material in Delsman, the yount
West Slider, who beat the rest of tn
contenders with jump of II feet

however, and did not count in tn
finals. The winners: Phillips
