posed hat he had crossed the line,
and he was therefore disqualified.
Fargo was third in the relay race.
Hines was the individual star Of
the Fargo team and came within one
point of taking high place as an
individual point winner. Following is
the account of the meet as published
in The Grand Forks Herald:
The Grand Forks high school track
team won the twelfth annual athletic
meet, which vas held al the state uni
versity yesterday, with a total of 27
| points and the nearest competitor was
Drayton, the latter school securing
% points. The meet was n Of the
best ever held in North Dakota and
four state records were broken, one
was tied and a mark was set in the
javelin throw for the first time. The
Drayton team was ahead Of Grand
Forks during the first part Of the
meet and the winning scores for
Grand Forks were made in the high
jump and the mile run which were
among the last events run off.
Manning, Of Bathgate, vas the in
| dividual star of the meet. He won
is points and vas the only represen-
tative of the Bathgate school in the
meet yesterday and as a result Of his
| splendid work he will be presented
with a solid gold watch by the uni
versity athletic board of control. This
| is the first year that the watch has
ever been offered for the highest point
| winner and thus competition was very
keen among the different men. Hines
| of Fargo is deserving of much praise
| for his work in the meet. He TOOK
| II points and it was hard to tell un-
| til the meet was ended which OF the
Two athletes would win the trophy.
In addition to winning the meet it.

EGrand Forks men obtained q good
lead and kept it the rest Of the time
The men running for the winning
| school were Anderson, Ferguson,
Flynn and Gilby. These men all did
excellent work and deserve great
credit. Gilby and Ferguson. are OLD
| heads at the game and they were two
| of the fastest go men on the track
| Flynn and Anderson are bo%h new
men, but they worked like veterans
yesterday. Gilby is the only n OF
the relay team who finishes school
| this year and with the other men back
next year the local boys will have q
! good chance to repeat the trick again.
The Grand Forks team will receive
| gold medals for the relay and Will al
| so be presented with the Girard cup.
This was donated this year by P. Cir
ard of this city and the school win
ming it three times. not necessarily
| c~onsecutively, will become the per-
manent possessor OF 1t.
Walter Schiosser and Thorvald Dahl
were the coaches Of the winning team
| this year and the victory was due al
most entirely to their work with the
high school athletes. When these two
trainers started in to work UP a team
this spring a great many people were
around telling them there was lot
much chance to win anything worth
while. but the two men worked along
| earnestly and their hopes were crown
| ed with success yesterday when their
boys carried off the meet and the re-
lay. Too much cannot be said Of the
work done by h coaches.
The first race of the day was the
| low hurdles and the first place went
to Charles hoffman of the Grafton
| school. Wilbur Williams of the Model

the fact that that institution was not
| allowed to count points the first place
| went to the man coming in second.
| hoffman of Grafton is a splendid ath-
lete and might have won the race
| yesterday had he not tripped on a hur-
die near the finish. He hurt himself
quite badly and in addition to that
was slowed down considerably. The
race was run in 20 minutes n 40
seconds. Williams made an excellent
showing in all events in which he was
entered.
The pole vault was staged right aft
err the hurdle and this proved to be
one Of the most interesting events of
the programme. 1t took a long time
for the event and It was won by
Charles hoffman of Grafton. hoffman
worked hard and vaulted in good form.
He succeeded in establishing a new
state record. The former record was
held by Manning of Bathgate. Man
ming. who won first last year, won sec
ond in this event and he did some good
vaulting, but was unable to keep up
with the Grafton man.
Another interesting race was the 100
yard dash, which was won by Herbert
Maid OF Drayton, who covered the dis
lance in 10 2-5 seconds. This tied the
state record set by Boyd of Langdon
last year. Gilby of Grand Forks ran
a pretty race and chased his mar hard
right to the finish. Wilkie of Willis
ton, who made such q good showing in
the preliminariss yesterday, was una
BILE to compete in the finals. He was
disqualified on account of his studies.
Hines Of Fargo and Flynn of Grand
Forks tied for third in the 100, and
Hines won out when the tie was run
OFF later In the afternoon. Flynn made
a good showing In this event as he did
in all others and he will make some
good marks in the future meets.
Manning of Bathgate broke the dis
Gus throw record by over Ill feet In the
preliminaries Friday and this mark
stood In the finals as no other contest
ant beat it. He threw the weight ia
feet, 8 ga inches. The record was
formerly held by Moor of Velva.
The half-Yaile was one of the most
exciting races or the day and Wallace
of Drayton hit the tape first. Fergu-
son OF Grand Forks led nearly all the
way, but Wallace crept up at q last
