Brattleboro high school stands credit
ed with five points in the Yale inter
| scholastic athletic meet at New Haven
Saturday-the biggest event OF the
kind held this year in the East-through
the good work of Edward Moran, who
won second place In the low hurdles
and third place in the high hurdles
against the stiffest competition that the
big academies and high schools could
offer. Moran was entered also in the
100 yard dash for high school boys and
the pole vault, but did not compete in
these events. The 100 yard dash came
just before the high hurdle race and
it would have been folly to have tried
| this and then to have started immedi-
| ately in such a trying contest as the
hurdles. The dash was won in 10 2-5ths
second, fifth of second slower than
the time made by Moran in the inter-
scholastic meet in Brattleboro last year.

heat. Moran finished second in each
of the trials, being drawn against Mas
sey of Hill school of New Haven, admit
tedly the fastest high hnrdler in any
prep school in the East. In the high
hurdle trial, which Massey ran in 16
tseconds, Moran was on his heels and
was timed in l6 18TH seconds. In the
final of the high hurdles the Brattle-
boro boy bumped his knee on the first
hurdle, but he took the other obstacles
clearly and came so fast at the finish
that he came within six inches of nip
ping Lowrie, the Exeters crack, who was
second to Massey In the 220-yard low
hurdles which Massey won in 25 4-5ths
seconds, Moran was good second, with
a fair margin ahead of Boone .of the
Hill school of New Haven.
Allen Davis of the BrattlebOro school

teri in the mile run for high school
boys, finishing fourth in a race which
was won by Burke of Wakefield high in

in the so-called open mile of the day
and faster than any of the intercol
legiate runners made Saturday at Bos,
