LOCAL TEAM FOURTH
Goddard Seminaryof Barre HandiIy
Won Meet in Burlington
Moran Labored Under Handicap-Con
tinuous Preliminary Work Proved
Too Much for Brattleboro Star.

Goddard seminary of Barre won
the Vermont interscholastic track meet
at Burlington Saturday, scoring So
points. Rutland high scored 81; Bur-
lington high, 201a, Brattleboro high
l419, Nergennes high II, Brigham acad-
envy and Middlebury high 8 each.
An additional event, half-milc re.
laY for cup given by an undiscloseo
donor, was won by Rutland in I'M 43
3-5s, Burlington high being second.
Only one record was broken, Russell of
Norgennes doing pole vault of 10 #.
3 in.
Coach Stolte was not disappointed in
the work of the local boys for they
did all that could be expected Of them.
1t was expected that Moran would
score the most points and he did but
under a great handicap.
In every one of the five events in
which he was entered preliminaries
were run. They were the two short
dashes, the two hurdle races and the
pole vault. In the sprints and hurdles
only one man was to qualify, which
necessitated winning to get into the
finals Moran won all Of his heats rather
easily. In the pole vault he was fore
ed to do nine feet to be one of five to
qualify for the afternoon. That made
four hard races and the field event
that he competed in in the morning.
1t proved too much for him. In the
first race of the afternoon the three
first men were so close that no one but
the judges could pick the winner The
time was the same that Moran ran it
in here q week before on slower
track.
He then competed in the finals of
the pole vault and went four inches
over his morning mark before being
forced to quit. Without rest he had
to enter the 220-yards das1 and al
though it was run in one and two-ffths
seconds slower time than here Moran
could not get placed.
Moran was leading the field in the
high hurdles his next event but when
half way down he tripped over one of
them and lost his stride. Although he
finished he failed to get place.
He insisted upon going into the finals
of the low hurdles, the next to the
last event of the afternoon, and was
good enough in his exhausted condition
to win in the slow time of 81 seconds,
two and one-fifths seconds slower than
he won the same event here the week
before. 1t is felt that had he been
kept out of the pole vault he would
have had at least three frsts if not
all four track events in which he COM
peted.
Adams was unable to better his
jump of 10 feet IA inch made in the
morning trials but that was good
enough to win second place and he
tied for third in the pole vault. Plumb
won second in the low hurdles. Moran
and Stearns were third and fourth in
the high hurdles. Both were disquali-
fed for knocking down more than two
hurdles in the race but Moran was
given tle bronze medal but the points
were not allowed for either place.
The team returned Sunday after
noon at 4.23 o'clock with the excep.
ton of Plumb, who remained with
friends at the college day or two,
and Moran who stopped in Bellows
Falls for a visit.
