1t was a splendid meet. The III
shone brightly all day, attracting to

crowds of motorists from Missoula.
Hamilton and Stevensville. Never in
it's history has the little farming viii
! lage held so large a population, yet it's
entertainment was all that could be
desired.
Under the able management of
Athletic Director w. II. H. MUSTANG
of the University of Montana, the ath-
little events We're handled in admirable
style. There wasn't a hitch anywhere.
Seven Records Broken.
There were IA events in the pro-
gram today, and in seven of
them records We're broken. Preston
of S~tevensville broke his own record
of 81 As seconds in the quarter, run
ming the distance in So flat. Bowling
of Stevensville broke the mile record
of 5:33, held by Cowan of Victor, by
running the -four laps in $50. Bah
bitt of Victor cleared the bar at 5
feet ! inch in the high jump, break
ing Dowd's record by three inches.
Cherry of S~tevensville established a
new mark in the hammer throw. He
cast the weight 100 feet 6 inches,
seven inches farther than the record
breaking heave Of Cowan of Victor
last year. Mari of Hamilton ran the
high hurdles in 1S 1-5 seconds, break
ing the record of 10 2-5 seconds es-
tablished by Dowd of Victor. McVey
of Victor bettered the record made
last year by Mcconnell of Hamilton
by hurting the discus SO feet 3 inches.
Puyear of Victor vaulted 9 feet 2
inches, five inches higher that did
DoWd when he won the event last
spring.
AS the score shows, Hamilton had a
monopoly of the track events, while
Victor was superior in the field con-
tests. The meet was so closely con-
tested that the final standing was
not decided until the last event had
been finished. The low hurdle race
/ was the last track event., n by win
ming it MARI saved the championship
for his school. Had Puyear been able
to take first place in the event his
team would have won the meet. He
ran second to Mari, though the vic
tory of Hamilton was won.
