It has been suggested by an old
time athlete Of FL Paso that the boys
OF the Alta Vista school team, win
ners Of the grammar school track and
field meet, should all enter the Junior
HeXathlOn meet at the local Y. n c.
A. next year. Those boys from Alta
Vista do wonderful work" said he
"and would be particularly valuable in
the Hex meets because the are light.
PROOF OF this is had in the fact that
it was in class 3 and class c almost
entirely that the Alta Vista boys
won the city title. Those boys could
lend great aid in helping FL Paso to
hold the worlds Hex title by Joining
the ,Y" and getting in the game
there"

The title for class C at the Gram

seems to have been particularly
priced. Carl Gregory. of Alta Vista
school, grabbed the title by one fore
leg early in the meet. and stubhorrly
maintained his hold until the finish.
Carlos carbajal, Of Aoy. who was also
after the animal. got a strangle hold
that nobody could break while
a
hold on the creature and stayed un-
til the finish. All that referee A. L.
Holm could do was TO call IL a tie,
as each Of the lads had five points.
