nearest rival. This lead was main
tanned thruout the race. The struggle
for second place was close. The win

10 Schools Best Team.
Coach Maricle can take great pride In
the showing of the team. Its perform
ance of Saturday is the best ever made
by a team representing the local
school, both in points scored and rec
ords made. The team is undoubtedly
one of the strongest in the state, and
is made up of the best-trained athletes
that have worn the red and blue. 1t
ia the first time that 'Marshalltown has
won the Cornell meeting. altho last
year the team made a strong bid for
the place. The gradual rise of track
athletics in the school is due to the
efficient work of Coach Maricle. who
has had the good fortune to secure a
team Of students who are willing to
work hard for the honor Of their
school.
