dash record. running it in 10 10.
Simon Of Davenport ran the mile

The contest was closely fought
from the start. Moline jumped
into the lead but Davenport passed
them quickly and for the first half
of the meet the Islanders we're run
ming third. Eight points in the pole
vault raised the locals to first place
and a clean sweep in the 220-yard
dash put the meet on ice.
One of the features was the run
ming of Duncan, the Islander fash.
and Layden, the Davenport speed
merchant. Layden beat Duncan in
the 50-yard dash, the Islander cap
tain slipping at the start. Duncan
turned the tables in the century,
however, beating Layden by two
yards and, breaking the record.
Layden did not enter the go, Civ
ing no opposition to Schafer. AID

half-mile relay Duncan and Lay
den were anchor men. Layden

to get in front.
The meet was full of surprises.
The first shock came when Simon
Of Davenport set fast pace in the
mile, defeating Ford of Mo-
line. The locals failure to place
in the 50-yard dash was also a big
surprise.

on the straightaway in one Of the
slowest halves ever run in the
classic. Rock Islands points in

balanced team by placing in all but
two events. The locals COPIED the
meet by annexing points in the go
