Prairie scored SIX. Emerson four.
Froebel four. Mishawaka three. Ar
gos two. and Culver one-third OF a
point.
Despite the fact that the dashes
and hurdles were run against a
steady breeze. and the oval was
slow due 20 the heavy rains Of the
past few days. some fast time was
stepped off. especially in the mile
and quarter mile. Cox or Plymouth
came within two-hfths Of a second
Of breaking the mile record OF 4:46.
This event can be classed as the
feature race Of the day. Maxey. the
local star distance man. pressing
him hard for the last fifty yards.
Stamates. OF Warsaw. and Wagner
and Evans Of Elkhart paved the
way for another keen finish in the
quarter. but the final squirt or Sta

the rear.

Century Fight Close.
Capt SIuss. although not up to
form, heaved his way into first place
for the shot His opponents. Jones
or Rolling Prairie and Reddinger OF
Argos. gave him little competition,
this accounting for the orange and
blue leader not heaving the iron ball
a record breaking distance.
Undoubtedly the closest finish OF
the meet took place in the finals Of
the century when Sabo and Stamates
OF Warsaw crossed the tape neck
and neck. but the final lunge by the
local star gave him first honOrs The
peculiar outcome of this however
was the fact that the Warsaw man
could not even be seen by the judges
