HIGH SCHOOLS DIVIDE HoNoRs
HELD Meet in viroqua Carried Out
in Spite of Rain

The field meet between Westby, VIC
la and Viroqua high schools, last Thars-
day, was not failure in spite Of the
steady rain which lasted all the after
noon. Owing to the condition of the
track very poor time was made.
The baseball game was delayed, as
the visitors were unprepared, and the
track events were called. that as much
as possible might be accomplished be-
fore the track became too muddy
In the half-lnile race. Dannie Carr, of
the Viroqua team made speed at the
finish, which put him in the lead by a
very few yards. The broad jump was
won by Deckert of Viola, at IL feet 5
inches, with Anderson of Viroqua
close second, at II feet inches. The
440, 220 and 100 yard dashes were all
won by Deekert, with Suite of Vircqua
close second.
AS for he pole vault, discus throw,
shot put and high jump, the best rec
ord was made by Kuebler of Viroqua
in the high jump, clearing five feet.
The contestants in the other events
named, have not as yet had enough ex-
perience to make more than a fair
showing. The hurdle race and the mile
run had to be called off because of the
condition of the track. In summing no
results we find that Viola leads appoints
to 81.
The local schools will conduct a try
out on Friday afternoon to select a
team to send to the Lacrosse meet on
May %.

Sign Of TEMPORARY
CHECK TO GERMANS
Rv FREDERICK EENNET


Special Correspondent Of Tie Washington Herald.
Petrograd. Sept. 5.--There are signs Of
a temporary check to the German ad-
vance.
The Germans are projecting 10 the east
near Riga and the Russians are movIIS
to the west at Grodno and in the a.
treme south. In the latter area the
Russians are completing a planned re-
tirement most successfully. They alc
than 3.0o0 prisoners.
The main interest today centers on the
attempt of the Germans to cut off the
Russian forces at Grodno. 1t seems clear
that unless the Germans succeed in
reaching and crossing the river Rosa
as we'll as the Niemen their attempted
encircling movement will fail. if it has
not already failed. The number Of Rus
SLAMS still operating in the Grodno DIS
trict has been greatly exaggerated.
In the Riga district the German ad-
vance to Friederichstadt on the DvirId. I.
has been answered by the Russians re
crossing the river fifteen miles lower
down.
The Germans are far east of Riga, Bat
in so narrow wedge that they must
feel uneasy about their communications
We are likely to witness a determined
effort on their part to strengthen their
position south of FriederiChstadt as TO-
the moment this is most important 20
them than the eventual occupation of
Riga.
