Score of 65
to 35.

Elkhart took the local high school
into camp in the first track meet of
the year TO the score Of 65 to 35.
The Elkhart lads outclassed the
locals so badly that they only made
three firsts. one of these being the
relay, another n tie by Radibaugh
in the high jump, and the other the
440-yard dash by Thompson.
The relay Thompson's 40 are the
only events that the local team dis
played any form in, these events not
making any extra good records. The

had been in a suit TO give Anderson
a run for the dashes, and Bouthiller
present in the distances, the meet
might have been closer. as these
men are considered the locals best.

man that showed any first class
striding. finishing his 440 Is yards
ahead of his opponent.
Witwer also must be credited with
his work against Anderson in the
Cashes, placing a close second each
time. The relay is the only content

meet, this race showing that they
had on the whole, a better line of
runners than the Elkhart lads.

hurdles down as possible.
