C0NY FRESHMEN WIN
BY WIDE MARGIN IN
WINTER SPORT MEET

The Freshmen class ran away
with the Wintcr Sports meet at Cony
High school, Thursday afternoon.
taking SO points to the 20 of the
Seniors, who were their closest COM
pctitors. The Juniors took 10 and
the SophomorcS were close behind
with Il. Individual hOnors were
taken by Miss Sawtcllc of the Fresh
men class with 10 points, and LiSh-
ness OF the Freshman class with IL
points. Miss y Dung of the Fresh
men was second with II points, and
Bagley of the Seniors was second
in the list OF boys with 10 points.
The events were held on the base
ball field and were all closely con-
tested. The $50 yard ski race for
boys was very exciting, Bagley who
took first and Lishness who came in

second, being well punched at the
finish, with another hard battle be
ing fought for third place. Lishness
pressed Bagley hard during the last
lap of the race and seemed sure Of
winning when Bagley fell, about half
way around the second lap. Baglcy
quickly recovered and as the last
of the race was down hill and he was
provided with two sticks while LiSh-
ness had none, he OVercame the lead
and took the race. LiShness made
Il most crcditable showing in this
race as he had just finished in an
other.
The Human Dog Team race called
forth much merriment through its
novel form and the efforts of the
contestants. Teams of boys with
neither skis or snOwShoes hauled one
of the girls of their class enthroned
on a toboggan. and as the boys
found the footing rather bad they
made hard work of the race. This
race was run in two heats. tho Sen
iors and Sophomores in the first one
and the Juniors and Freshmen in
the second. The Seniors and Fresh
men won in their respective contests
