Local High School Rolls Up 112
Points In Annual Track And
Field Contest.
By scoring 112 points to 40 made
by Hurlock her nearest competitor
Cambridge High School won the
fifth annual track and field meet of
the Dorchester County schools at
Athletic Park, Saturday afternoon.
Vienna High School came third with
forty-three points.
The day was cool and at times the
wind blew strongly across the field,
but conditions were not such as to
cause actual discomfort and the
young athletes entered with great
gest into the events of the afternoon
Owing to the absence OF one en-
try and the injury Of another Cam
bridge, for the first time in the his
tory of the meets, had no team ia
the mile relay which was won by
Hurlock, with East New Market
second. The Hurlock boys, individ-
ualIy and collectively had the better
of the match, except that Grove of
East New Market was probably the
best of the eight contestants.
The half-mile relay was won hand
lily by Cambridge High, which was
represented by. a team, threefourth
of which have been winning relay
races since the second meet of the
county schools.
The team this year was composed
of Earl Webster, William Tyler,
Webb Shelby and Harpe1 Moore, the
latter having replaced Ishmael VIII
ley. Moore ran first and gained
lead which the others for the most
part maintained or increased, Shelby
finishing strong for the local boys.
In the hundred yard dash the con-
testants became punched and John
Mace Jr., fell, Cornelius Murphy, OF
Vienna High, who was next him also
went down and the race was taken
by Linwood GeCompte. But for
their spill" the event would have
gone to Mace or Murphy with the
other second. Mace won the senior
shot1put. Carlton Sard took first in
the fifty yard dash and the standing
broad jump, 80 pound class. SO
good was his record in the first
event that Dr. Burdick urged that he
be sent to Baltimore TO take part in
the State Meet.
As the events were run on grass
track the time was not as fast as the
contestants could have made under
better conditions.
