events on the program, the last,
the relay race, being won by Mos
cow in AZ.
Nez Perce, which has always
ranked up to the front in athlet-
les, really was entitled to first
place in this meet instead of be-
ing tied with Asotin, according to
such expert judges as Coach Cook,
Of Spokane, and others who wit
messed the contest. The decision
which lost Nez Perce the first
place was made when first place
in the mile run was taken from
DeHaven, of Grangeville, and Civ
en- to Woodruff, of Asotin, That
DeHaven won the mile contest,
there is no question in the minds
Of the Prairie people, as well as
Coach Cook and other experts,
and the statement is made that
spectators jeered the decision when
it was announced that Woodruff
had won first. 1t is also stated
that Woodruff, whether intention
ally or otherwise, fouled DeHaven
as they neared the tape in the
final squirt at the close of the
heat, for which he should have
been penalized, to say the least.
The time made was 4 Isl, said to be
the interscholastic record of the
northwest for the mile run. John
Long, of Grangeyille, came in a
close second to the two swift
leaders, distancing all the rest OF
the field by considerable. As
this is young Longs first season
in long distance running, a great
future is predicted for him, and
his friends here have no fears but
that he will be perfectly capable
Of sustaining the reputation o1
