IN one Of the most evenly contested
track meets ever held by the Iowa III
terscholastic Athletic Association heio
at the Drake stadium Friday atter-
noon, Marshalltown high schoo. rep
resented by a four-man team, won |
second honors, Davenport finishing in
first place. Owing to the eAcelien'
showing of many schools heretoioie
not being figured as contenders' tne
points were split and the hnal result ,,
was not determined until late IN lhe
day. In the early part OF the prog rain
Marshalltown doomed up strong, when /
Packer finished first in both hurdle
events and incidentally grabbed the
individual honors Of the day.
Davenport high, winner of the meet
by annexing seconds and thirds
amassed 10 points Marshalltown nm
ished second, with IA; Cedar Rapids
third. with y, and East Des Moines'
fourth, with II 1-3.
Des Moines Teams Fail.
AS has been the custom since the
state meeting has been an annual
affair, one of the DeS MoineS teams
was picked to win the meeting. DaVeh-
mort is the first school outside OF Des
Moines to win the meeting since l9o Il
when Ida Grove won the laurels. Dur
ing the past five years west Les
Moines, with a big string OF athletes
entered, has scampered away with the
classic and the year preceding the en-
try of West high to the head OF the
column, East DeS Moines was the
winner West Des Moines MADE
sorry showing Friday. One second and
one third gave the school a total OF
four points. North Des Moines failed
to get single point.
Dark Horses Upset Dope.
II was the showing Of the dark
horses that upset the dope, and from
the start rank outsiders toppled the
fayorites, making the meeting most
interesting affair, with little advantaSe
20 any school, Rausch, of West Wa
terloo, sprung surprise in the sprlnts'
bv taking the century from HuXtaoie'
of LeMars, and Tomson. Of Davenport
by the narrowest margins.
Perhaps the greatest surprise OF the
day was the showing of kilmer' OF
Burlington who captured the Hille
event with east, finishing twenty yards
in front of Pierce, of Fort Dodge. ms
victory marks the entrance OF Bur
ner for the first time.
Packer Star Of Meeting.
Packer with 10 points, won the IN
diyidual honors of the day. The Mar
shalItown boys victories in the two
hurdle events were expected by the
forecasters, but in the low sticks he
had the race Of his life. Burnell, or
Newton. led the local star until the
last hurdle when he lost his stride
and Packer passed him.
Altho the track was soft and sticky,
Packer made remarkably good time IN
the hurdles. Flowing thru the Wlno
over the high sticks, he was caught IN
16 2-5 at the finish. and registered
% 3-5 in the lows. 1t Is believed that
II he had been running under good
conditions he would have cut down the
state record Of Is 10 and rs 10 re-
spectively which he made last year.
