Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1917-05-21


letes continued their spring drive at
the University of Pittsburgh track
meet Saturday afternoon. Local ath-
letes outclesses a field of 15 western
high schools i'm a decisive manner.
The localsaggregation tailed 691s
points, while Kiski, the runner-up,
was second with 32 points. Other
schools that scored were as follows:
Williamsburg High, 81; Schenley
High, II; Peabody High, 10; Meade
Vile High, IL; McKeesport High, IL:
High. y; East Palestine High, 5:
Allegheny High, 3h Monessen High.
,; Williamsport High, 8; Fifth Ave-
nue. High, y :. and Irwin High, ".
Practically all of these schools are
in the vicinity of the Smoky City, and
with few exceptions were picked
from larger student bodies. Tech
scored in 12 of the 13 events; the
only contest in which the Maroon did
not figure was the pole vault, and the
best vaulter in the school was left at
home because of scholastic condi-
tions. The team was again without
the services of five members who will
likely be eligible for the interschol-
astics on the Island next Saturday.
In seven of the thirteen events
Tech took first place, and many of
the seconds. thirds, fourths and fifths
came the way of the Tech lads. 1t
was another decisive victory for the
local team, the only regret being that
Shaw High school of Cleveland fail
ed to place team in the field. Tech
was anxious to win larger laurels by
defeating the team from Ohio. The
victory of Tech is considered all the
more remarkable in view of the fact
that only eleven of the squad We're
taken along because of the great eX-
pense encountered.
Carl Beck broke the only scholas-
tic record when he heaved the 12-
pound shot n distance of 45 feet .
inches. This freshman ran away
from the field in both the high and
low hurdles, capturing 5 points sim
BILE banded. Harry F,yster captured
both the events in the 100 and 220-
yard dashes. John Demming in
both the relay and half mile, lead the
field in these two events.
In addition to the laufels won by
Carl Beck. Clarence Beck was also
a big star in the collegiate class, COM
peting for Penn State. He won the
16-pound shot tossing the weight
40 $40 feet. He was also first in
the discus event. Jesse Krall, an
other Harrisburg lad, did splendid
work for Penn State in the hurdles
and quarter mile.
Tech will spend this week in prep
aration for the interscholastic meet
on the Island that will be held Sat
urday. This meet should be another
