HIGH JUMP and POLE VAULT
GIVES GARDINER HIGH A WIN
OVER C0NY RUNNERS, 61-47


BY taking first and second in both
of the last two events of the Cony-
Gardiner dual track meet which was
held Saturday at Ruel Williams field,
Gardiner was able to take the meet
| by a score Of 81 to AZ, after the two
teams had been tied three or four
times. With ten events run or and
but the high jump and pole vault yet
to come, Cony and Gardiner were
tied at As points each. but the Gardi-
ner lads gave Cony little chance in
the two contests.
The events were all closely con-
tested and the times were very good
considering that the field was some
what rough. Several events were run
against time, one of them being the
220 low hurdles which was necessar-
| lily run with two corners as the field
was not large enough for a straight
away. Because Of that fact 1t was
felt that the runners on the outside
of the track would be too much han
dicapped and it was run in two heats
against tie. In the first heat both
Stonier and Cloutier, the only two
contestants in that heat. knocked
down the last hurdles and both stop
ped believing that they were out Of
/ the race. Their friends called to them
to continue the race and they both
got the idea at tho same time with
the result that they came in in the
same order as they undoubtedly
would If they had not stopped. Clou-
tier won the heat and with this ham
dicap made the distance in 80 3-5
secons. In the second heat three
men participated and in spite of the
fact that he drew the outside hurdle.
Soule of Cony came in first in 81 is
seconds.
The high hurdle distance was cut
to 120 yards to allow for a straight
course and this too was run against
time. Soule who had never tried the
high barriers before, met Stonier in
the first heat and Stonier nosed him
out by matter of inches. Cook of
Gardiner took the second heat and
Soule was awarded third. with
Stonier taking first. The time was 10
seconds.
In the mile distance Lishness Of
Cony trailed leighton of Gardiner fer
over three laps. forging ahead in the
fourth and running Leighton off his
feet. Friends tried to slow Lishness
down when it was seen that Leighton
could not keep up with him. but the
Cony lad either did not get the idea
or did not want to. as he breezed home
in the fast time of 442.
Cony followers expected Jackson to
take the SS0-yard. but the dope bucket
was overturned and Lishness, who was
in the race, was forced to trim Leigh
ton. Jackson taking third.
Gardiner had things her own way
in the shotput, taking everything, the
winning heave being one of 81 feet 5
inches. In the high jump Booker and
Blaisdell of Gardiner tied, not desiring
| to jump off the tie. Beaton of Cony
stayed with them until the stick was
raised to five feet two, when he drop
| vault Blaisdell and Henderson cleared
s feet z, tieing for first, while Paige
, and Leadbetter both lost out at that
distance, taking third.
Soule Of Cony again scored in the
broad jump. taking first place by
bare four inches with a jump Of 20
| feet 10 IA inches. Blaisdell of Gardi-
ner was close behind him with 20 feet
, 6 IA inches.
J Soule was the ace of the meet, tall
lying IA points for Cony With two
