tracksters of Saginaw, succumbed to
Coach Crisps men at Saginaw, Satur-
day afternoon by the score of az to AZ,
Alma High School scored one of the
greatest athletic victories which it has
been the lot of that school to win In
many years. Alma won ten first plac-
es and Saginaw only four while the To-
calls won enough second and third plac-
es to swell their total to seventy two.
Handley and Smith were the two big
point winners of the day. The former
won three firsts and tied with his part
ner, Smith, for another first, netting
him nineteen points for the days ac-
tivity. The latter scored one first,
which with the title for first place with
Handley in the high hurdles and three
seconds, brought his total up to eight
cen. However the other members of
the team were not behind these two
headliners in the quality of work done,
for every man was at top form for this
meet and their performance could not
be improved upon. Dutt won the dis
Gus throw and hammer throw without
extending himself very seriously and
Muscott won the half mile just as cas-
lily.
One of the surprises of the meet was
the fine showing made by Kress in the
broad jump. He won first place in this
event as well as tieing for second place
in the pole vault. Howe also showed
up well scoring three third places
and running the first lap of the relay
run which Alma won. Walker won
third places in the mile and half mile
runs. Davis did not accompany the
team or Alma might have scored even
more points. However, in two of the
races this would have been impossible
for in these, the one hundred and two
hundred twenty yard dashes, Alma Sc
cured all three places.
Handley again ran the century
dash in ten and three fifths seconds
as in the Lansing meet but ran an
even faster two twenty yard dash,
finishing it in twenty three and four
fifths seconds. In both races Smith
ran a close second and Howe third.
Handley also ran the quarter mile
winning first easily with Banghart
not far back to win third place.
In the high hurdles Smith had first
place won and Handley third place
but both were disqualified for knock
ing down too many hurdles.
Banghart ran pretty race in the
one mile event but was nosed out at
the finish by Stark of Arthur Hill.
He is rapidly coming to the fore as
one of Alma's best long distance
men.
Coach Crisp and his team are GER
tainly to be congratulated upon the
excellent showing which the team
made last Saturday afternoon. 1t is
quite a distinction to be able to de-
feat an athletic team representing a
school of the size and athletic stand
ing of Arthur Hill High School Next
Saturday the boys go to st. Johns for
the Central Michigan meet. From
their performances of the past il
looks as though they would win this
meet quite handily though they may
run up against stronger teams than
themselves. 1t is expected that quite
crowd will accompany the team to
lend their support.
