trai Colorado High School Track and
Athletic association here Friday after
noon was highly successful affair in
spite OF the threatening weather and
the heavy condition OF the field
where the sports took place. The
events we're well arranged and the
competition for honors spirited and
good-nstured.
There was a fair attendance OF Wis
itors and the receipts from the sale
OF tickets was sufficient to cover all
expenses connected with The gather
ing and leave a surplus OF something
like twenty dollars TO be turned over
to the treasurer OF the association.
The record made by the contestants
was surprisingly good considering the
handicap under which their work was
done as a result OF the rain on Thurs
day and the III effects IL had on field
and track II Il hardly too much to
say that achievements were remark
able under the circumstances.
Especial credit Is due TO James Nc
clintock Of the Canon City team who
won the individual honors Of the meet
with twenty points and made It pos
sfble for the home aggregation to
win by nearly three to one over the
visiting teams. The home boys were
In excellent trim for the contest and
their triumph was not surprising 70
their friends. II was about an even
struggle between Centennial high
school OF Pueblo and the Florence
high school for second place. In fact
until the sse yards relay race was
run which was the last event on the
program II was impossible to fore
cast with any degree OF certainty
which of them would take second
honors. Up 10 the beginning Of the
race Florence was credited with twen-
ty-sIx points and Pueblo twenty-four.
