Point Winner for Others.


So far as athletes on track and field
are concerned the sophomore class of
the Brattleboro high school has it all
over the other classes combined. They
proved il YESTERDAY when in the chal-
lengo meet on the fairgrounds the
's0phs'' scored 66 l.2 points to so ID
for the so-called All-Sehool team.
The track was very rough, having
been used for working out horses up to
the time of the start of the meet, and
the wind blew a gale which helped the
sprinters somewhat but was terrible
handicap TO those who competed i'll the
long runs. The timea made were sur
prising in view of the handicaps i'm
posed by track and weather.
Moran was the bright individual
star, scoring 80 points for the sopho-
morcs, winning six first places and one
second IN as many starts. He Won both
sprints, both hurdles, the high Jump
and the pole vault and was second in
the shot put. He did the short sprint
IN 10 20 seconds with the second man
not near enough To worry him.
Nichols, who bids fair TO hr one Of
the star distance runners that the
school ever has turned out, as Moran
promises to be one of the clever.
est sprinters and allround men,
won II points. Howard came strong in
+hc field events with l3 IL points, he
sides Moran g 80, and that left Davis,
second III the half-mile, to care for the
ether three points won by the sophie
morCs.
Moran 5 speed in the dashe4 and his
form in the high jump and pole vault,
20 say nothing of his timber topping
stamp him an even more dangerous man
For opponents than he was a year ago.
Nichols has the stride and the stamina
necessary for q distance runner. Yes
terday he went out and made his own
pace far ahead of his nearest competi-
tors. He finishes with a good sprint
aid in the quarter mile. after having
won the mile and the half mile earlier
he was beaten only by inches by
Stearns right at the tape. 1t was the
sort Of a finish that brings a crowd to
its feet, but at this meet not more than
one.sixth of the high school members
were present.
Steans was the leading point winner
Of the other classes. He had two first
places and four seconds to his credit
for total of % points. He outdiC
himself in the broad jump and landed
FIRST place, which was by no means con
ceded to him. The desperate quarter
mile was his other victory, while hi
took second places in the two sprints
the low hurdles and the high jump. II,
was disqualified in the high hurdles, il
which he finished second, for knoc kline
down four hurdles.

second III the high hurdles, the discu
and the pole vault and third in the tw,
sprints and the low hurdles and tiet
with Howard for third in the broaC

for the big meet TO be held here Ma
