MADISON AVENUE
SCHOOL ON TOP
Entry Wins High Score Honors
in Girls Annual Field
Day.

Rolling up a total of Isl points,
Madison Avenue School took the
high score honors yesterday afternoon
in the annual girls field day of the
Newark Public Schools Athletic AS
sociation at City Athletic Field, Both
standard and prize events were con-
tested, and over 5000 girls were con-
gregated on the big common of the
Bloomfield avenue playground while
the bleachers We're crowded to their
capacity with lassies too timid to
enter the events and fond parents.
The riot OF colors, in which white
predominated, made a pretty scene
against the green of the field.
The events of yesterday comprised
the fourth days schedule of a five
day carnival, in which over 5000 con-
testants have participated to date.
The standard events for boys We're
held on three days last week, while
the prize events are being held this
afternoon at City Athletic field, start
ing at / O'Clock sharp. The award
of the Frederick It. Guild cup, which
is to be given to the school scoring
the greatest number of points in the
girls events in proportion to the to-
tai enrolment was withheld, as 1t
was impossible to figure the percent
ages yesterday.
Sussex Avenue School, which made
sweeping cleanup in the boys
standard events, was runner-up.
The Sussex girls aggregated a count
of ZAP. II is believed that the forty
point advantage of Madison viii
overcome the difference In percentage
caused by the small enrolment OF
Sussex Avenue.
The prize events were the cause of
considerable excitement amidst the
mass of feninimity. The cup donated
| by George w. Knight, supervising en-
gineer of the Board of Education, for
| first place in the oat bag relay was
captured by Sussex Avenue. Miller
Street annexed the George ]. Holmes
cup for winning the flag relay. The
alumni of Franklin School cup, first
prize in the potato race, went to
South Eighth Street School, While
Cleveland School landed the first
place in the 440-yard relay and the
accompanying cup.
The final Of the quartermile relay
was the feature event of the after
noon, being a scream literally and
Ifiguratively, from start to finish.
Cleveland, Madison, Miller, and Alb
ington Avenue survived the heats
and lined up for the final. In a
blanket finish, the Cleveland girls
crossed the line first with the field in
the order named. The summary:
