|; The hundreds of local folk who
went to the big meet were bitterly
disappointed by the failure of the
Deering High team. But Pat
French's pupils had hard luck all the
afternoon. The purple athletes were
hot contenders in nearly every event,
by the shade classier performers of
| the big New Hampshire and .Massa
chusetts schools. The D. H. S. lads
all performed UP to standard with
the exception of Capt. Shrimp"
Marsters, that wonderful little run
ming machine. who for the first
time In his career, slumped COM
pletely.
Marsters unexpected fizzle was due
largely to his mistaken snap judg-
ment in starting sprint too early in
the 8S0-yard run. Over 20 men start
ed in this race and the Deering leader
drew Goth position. Way up in the
front ranks were the crack runners of
| Huntington and Exeter, who out
tucked Marsters in the draw for posi-
tions. The midget in purple started
a wild sprint Immediately after the
! first lap and racing through his field
| like wildfire was soon close on the
heels of the pacemakers. For anoth-
er lap Marsters hung on, but he had
shot his bolt, and on the fifth lap col
lapsed and was obliged to leave the
track
/ Another bitter disappointment came
| to ,Deering in the relay race with He
bron. French's proteges apparently
had achieved the goal of their ambi-
ton in running away from the big
green quartet, Marsters the last Deer
ing runner breasting the tape 25
yards in front of Dee, the Hebron an
Choir man. But two of the Deering
runners had fouled and the team was
disqualified by Referee Prout and the
race awarded to Hebron. The first
| foul was committed by Davis the
Deering Ieadoff man, who cut inside

a technical foul in receiving the take
off from Annis outside the one at the
start of the third relay.
,Deering made the fastest time of
any Maine team in this relay finish
ing in Q minutes, Is seconds. This
would have given the local boys the
Evening Express trophy. if they had
not been disqualified. AS Cony High
school Of Augusta very fast quartet
was clocked In the second fastest
time of the afternoon in beating Gar
diner High, they were awarded the
handsome cup for the best time made
by Maine schoolboy team. q
AS it was the Deering team as
whole outclassed any other Maine ag-
gregation. The purple athletes proved
superior to all except the out of state
invaders in almost every event. Port
land High tailed a single point
through the efforts of Captain Otis
Fuller.
