New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1916-04-26

First place in the interclass Track and
Field meet held at the Fair Grounds
Monday afternoon went to the Seniors
by large majority. A total of SO
points were made by the Seniors, 80 of
which we're made by Alvin, the captain
of the Senior track team. The race
for second place however was very close
and at the end of the contest the Juniors
were 4 IL points in advance.
Alvin took six first places for the
Seniors, taking first in the quarter mile
run, half mile run, mile run, pole vault,
hurdles, and high jump. In the high
Jump he came within a few inches of the
state record, making five feet two inches.
Durbahn made twenty of the remain
ing 80 points and the rest was distributed
among the remainder of the Senior track
| team.
The first event of the afternoon was
the 100 yard dash which was taken by
Olson in 11:03 seconds. This was
followed by throwing the shot which
event was taken by Durbahn, who threw
the shot 38 feet. In the 220 yard dash
which followed a close race was fought
between Schleuder and Miller, the latter
breasting the tape about four to six
inches in advance of Schleuder. The
time in this event was 25.3 seconds. In
| ho of hn
petitors were able to throw it far, Dur
bahns IS feet inches being the highest
made. The next event was the quarter
mile run. Alvin came in first making
the time in 81 seconds, with Olson and
| Freitag close second and third. Then
came the broad Jump in which Schleuder
took the first place with jump of eigh-
teen feet and three inches with Miller
seven inches behind. Alvin came in an
easy winner in the half mile run with
| Wiedenmann second. The time for
running this was two minutes twenty
seven seconds. The hammer throw and
pole vaulting which followed was not
very interesting as in neither event was
any good record made. The hurdles
was gone over in 1854 seconds by Alvin
with Schleuder one second behind. In
the high jump which came next Alvin
took first with five feet two inches, this
mark being few inches lower than the
state record. Nobody tried very hard in
! the mile run the time being six minutes
and fourteen seconds, Alvin leading.
The relay race which was the last was one
of the most interesting if not the most
interesting of all events. But two team
had entered, the Sophomores and the
Juniors Kitzberger the first man on
the Sophomore team got ten feet lead
on his man. This lead was eaten up by
Freitag on the Junior team who advanced
six feet ahead of his man. The next two
men ran about even and when the last
two men were touched the Juniors were
about three to five feet in advance. The
race which followed between Olsen and
Schleuder was very close and when but
fifteen feet remained Olson took sudden
squirt and finished about foot ahead of
his man.
This was the first interclass meet held
in New Ulm and the interest was great
among the different candidates reporting.
However the spectators did not turn out
as expected, there being about fifty
persons present!
