DeSoto Wins. the
High School Meet

The Twelfth Annual Track and
Field Meet of st. Francois county was
held in Flat River last Saturday. De-
Soto won with SO 1-2 points. Flat
River came second With 35 points,
Festus third with 261-3, Desloge
fourth with 13 1-3, and Pennington
fifth with 1-3 points.
The day was ideal for Track and
was very well attended, In spite Of
the fact that the meet was handled in
very slow manner, the participants
showed great interest and good form in
all of the events.
Ogle, of Festus, and Hise, of Flat
River, proved to be the real stars of
the meet. Ogle showed fine form in
all of his events, and proved himself a
real "bullet pusher" by showing the
12-pound missile 43 feet and inches,
which surpasses the county record l
foot and inches. He also won the
pole vault at feet inches, and the
880-yard dash in the remarkable time
of 2:20. Hise is also credited with
three firsts and individual point win
ner, but as to form and speed, Ogle
is in a class all to himself. Brock
man and Lockhart of DeSoto, also
showed some real "stuff'. Lockhart is
well on to the art of sprinting, and
won his races with ease; the same may
be said of Brockman in the jumps.
Brockman leaped S feet inches, which
is 2 inches better than the county rec
ord. F. Murphy, of Desloge, slung
the discus 103 feet inches for a new
record by six inches. b
The meet proved to be the largest
ever held in st. Francois county.
Eight schools were entered and all
took part. Flat River entered team
for the first time since 1914 and ran
good race for first place. Farming
ton High has entered a team every
year since 1907. 1t has always been
the principle of Pennington High to
put out a team, regardless Of the fact
that there is a slight doubt as to
whether or not they will grab first
place. 1t shows real sportsmanship.
