The 7th grade team, consisting of
Wilkes, Potter, Jennings and Burnett,
won in 10 As seconds.
The 60-yard dash of the 7th and Sth
grades was won by Wilkes with Riv-
ers so close behind that she touched
the tape before it hit the ground
when Wilkes had broken it. Biting
came third and very close behind
Rivers. Time, 9 3-5 seconds.
There were a few other grammar
school events that the reporter was
unable to see because they took place
simultaneously with the high school
meet.
High School Events
The main interest of the day CEN
tered about the high school events
and five schools from the county had
teams of both boys and girls present
to compete in nearly all Of the events.
In these events each first place scored
five points, each second place three
points, third place one point. The
school securing the greatest number
of aggregate points was declared win
| ner, of the meet. Ocala secured first
place with 141 points; Dunnellon sec
ond with 80 points; Anthony and Nc
Intosh tied for third place with II
points each.
Ocala owes more to Harrington
Hall and Estelle Wilkes than to any
other individual contestants for its
large number of points. Harrington's
speed in the 100 and 44O-yard dashes
was especially good. Harrington en-
tered in six events and secured five
firsts and one second place. Estelle
Wilkes had the distinction of being
100 per cent proficient. She entered
in Ave events and annexed five first
places to Ocala's string of victories
Petteway of Dunnellon handled the
shot like 1t was a soap bubble and
easily won over all competitors. Scale
of Dunnellon was good on the pole
vault and although he was defeated
by Hall, he made good showing.
Boys Events
Although the events were not all
carried out in the order of the pro-
gram the write-up will be given in
that order for the sake of convent.
