Rutland Set a New Record for the
Mile Run.
Rutland high school won the track
meet conducted by st. Johnsbury acad-
envy at st. Johnsbury Saturday, scoring
61.7 points, Brattleboro being second
with Al 25. Ten schools were repre-
sented, but none of the others figured
to any extent in4the scoring. Whitefield,
N. H., had 5 1-5; st. Johnsbury 4 Island
Pond 3; Woodstock 7-1O; Bethlehem
is.
Sullivan of Rutland lowered the state
interscholastic record for the mile, COW
erings the distance in 4.40 2-5. He also
won the mile and quarter mile events
with Davis of Brattleboro an easy Sec
ond in the mile and half mile.
E. Moran of Brattleboro was again the
high individual winner, taking first
| place in the 100 and 22O-yard dashes
| and 220-yard low hurdles and the high
jump. There was no high hurdle race
| at this meeN Moran also tied with his
team mate, Barrows, for second and
third places in the pole vault, not at
tempting to go over the bar after both
had cleared it at 8 fit. in. Moran S
defeat of Bellrose in the high jump
was one of the surprises of the meet,
as the Rutland boy has AN unofficial
record of 5 feet 9 "a inches, Moran
cleared the bar easily at 5 feet
| inches, but Bellrose tried three times
and was unable to make that height
Moran s time of "a seconds in the 220
yards dash was a remarkable perform
ance considering the, conditions and he
finished more than 90 yards. ahead of
Bellrose, who was in second place.
Two Brattleboro boys who did not
win point in the meet here won their
letters at st. Johnsbury, Justin Moran
getting third in the hurdle race and
third in the broad jump and Man
ming landing third in the half mile run
Bellrose of Rutland won the vault at
9 TT. 6. This also was new state rec
ord.
The conditions for fast time were un.
favorable in most of the events. Rain
had fallen heavily until late i'm the
forenoon, the track al the fair grounds
had not been used this season ant
heavy grass was growing on it il
places. Wind blew strongly in the
faces of the runners in the short tracl
events.
The Rutland and Brattleboro boy.
were greatly disappointed on being
, awarded their prizes. They supposed
they were competing for medals, which
have always been given winners O
first and second places at meets in Thu
part of the state, but the only awards
given at st. Johnsbury were ribbons.
