The fast track team of the Garfield
County High school, coached by Hugh
Beers and eaptained by Rolin Smith,
captured the nonOrs in the Tenth An
nual tield and track meet here Satur-
day, by the overwhelming score of 80
to 40 points. 1t was thought at first,
that owing to the inclement weather,
the meet would necessarily be post
poned, but Mr.. Underwood obtained the
polo grounds from Mr.. Overlook, aal
at the scheduled time the fast and in
teresting meet commenced. The first
event was the 100 yard dash. GlenwoOd
lads won all three places in this. Full
ghum, Smith and barrow won these
places. The events were pul ed off rap
idly, due to the ability OF the official
in charge. Glenwood, through Fulghum,
Smith and French, easily won three
places in the 220 yard dash. The time
was excellent, as the field was slick,
24 80 seconds.
All through the meet, until the sho.
put was over, keen interest was
shown in regard to the winning of in
dividual honofs, which lay between the
premier track man, Carl Fulghum, of
q. Z. ii. S. and the star Rifle field man,
Albino Donna. When the running
broad jump was won by Darrow of
GlenwOod and tulghum at distance
of 10 feet inches, Donna was stead
lily increasing his points to overtake
Fulghum who had won the high hurdles,
the 100 and 220 yard dashes, and few
incidental second places. The prettiest
event of the day was when GIenwoOd y
Sophomore star, Ray Oldenburg, won the
high jump from Donna and went out
for the Western Slope record. He was
tired and barely missed it. Neverthe-
less, We watched Ray raise to feet
51x inches. Donna won second and
Fulghum third in this.
The mile run then followed. A Rifle
youth, by the name Of Miller easily
won the event, and broke the record by
second. Alex Allen, of Glenwooi
won his second place in this event.
The javelin was next John Fusner,
by winning his first place in this, set
up a record. Following this came the
dreaded shot put, which is Donna :
favorite pastime. Hop Rittmayer, who
had laid low in the mile run, pushed
Donna to the wall. Burns of Rife
took third in this, leaving Hop and
Donna to fight it out. Rittmayer push
ed the shot several inches beyond Don
mas ability, ION this day. and Won
first place in the shot put. In trying
for the record on the shot Hop was
disappointed somewhat.
The $50 yard dash proved interesting.
The course was difficult to distance
men, but nevertheless, FIVE men were
entered. Glenwood easily won first and
second in this event. Donna of Rifle
won the standing broad jump from
Glenwood, his team mate, Burns, pull
ling down second place. The 44O yard
dash followed jerome French, of
Glenwood ran beautiful race to first
place, with Burns of Rifle . few yaros
behind.
The last event of the day was the
| relay race, for the beautiful cup, prs
sented by the Citizens National bank,
of this city Rifle forfeited this race,
and, not wishing to dissappoint the
people in attendance, the Glenwood
Olympic club, of this city, gathered a
team of sprint artists, to satisfy the
high school boys greed for gore. Hugh
Beers, Olympics, and ROLAND Smith,
High school, made . flying start to-
gether. Hugh Beers, easily drew away
from his opponent. Gene Cross held q
long lead on the high school. Darrov
ran valiantly, but Cross was too fast
for him. "Huskey" Weidenhammer,
the Olympic third man, ran like Mer'
curry, for 4 hundred yards. jerome
French pulled in little of the dis.
tance, and when Weidenhammer gave
Walter Korn his home stretch slap
"Kork" sped away with all looking
favorable for. the Oylmpics. However,
there happened to be Il feet footed high
school youth by the name of Fulghum,
who "shut his eyes and dug'. Before
long, Carl heard the pitter pat OF
"Kork's" spikes behind him, and the
high school had won.
Saturday evening the track team
