scholastic meet held at Moscow under
University OF Idaho auspices. accord
ing to H. r. Cleaver. who returned
sarly. in the week after seeing the
events. Had the first three men who
placed in the elimination meet here
the week preceding been entered at
Moscow. they would have taken every
point in several events. according to
Mr. Cleaver.
Considerable difficulty was expert
enced at the state meet when, because
of surplus of northern Idaho en-
tries. officials insisted upon prelim-
mary events, This Mr.. Cleaver. in
charge of four athletes. and Howard
Sheffel. Rupert coach, refused to con-
slider, averring that the elimination
meet here constituted preliminary
events. This opinion finally prevailed
and only northern Idaho men were
entered in the preliminary events.
Next year, a new plan will be fol-
lowed Instead of only two entries
from the south in each event. this part
of the state will be represented by
every man who places at the climina-
ton meet here. if all care to go to the
state intcrscholastic. In northern Ida
no. two elimination meets are held
and the winners of each event, to-
gether with the second man who gets
best time. will be eligible for the state

Donald Cleaver won his event, the

was not feeling we'll when the race was
run.
