a total Of % points. Severinson and
ThorWaldsen were also good point

The javelin throw was a novelty this

off the local men won out, thus Civ
ing hoffman second. y Hines of Fargo
took third in the event. No other
places We're awarded as two hurdlers
were disqualified from knocking down
hurdles and Charles hoffman tripped
and fell. Charles hoffman was pick
ed to win the race and had a good
start. He would have undoubtedly
secured a place and might have won
first II he had not stumbled. Both
Of the hoffman boys showed up we'll
in every event they were entered in
during the two days of the meet. They
are both splendid athletes and are a
credit to their school.

mile, which was won in Sc seconds
by Ferguson Of Grand Forks. Fergu-
son took the lead from the very start
and hit up a fast pace and was the

Of Drayton won his heat in the quar-
ter the day before yesterday, but he
could not run strong enough to keep
Ferguson's man-killing pace. Cook
of the Mode high took second in the
event and finished several yards be-
hind Ferguson. Wallace came in
third but was credited with points
and the medal for SECOND place.
The mile run was an intensely in
teresting race. Elton of Grand Forks
kept h lead for quite a distance,
but was passed by Gies of East Grand
Forks twice. Giles won the race in
SIP 2-5. Wallace of Drayton ran
good, but vas in too tired form from
running in other events to win the
race. Elton finished third. This is
Elton's first year in the meet and he
ought to make some good mark be-
fore leaving school. Giles ran a heady
race from the start and ought to be
able to cut down the time consider
ably.
