cold weather. W. Davidson Of Libby
added 2A inches to the county roc
ord on the discus. Murphy of Troy
bettered his own record in the shot
by over foot and Edith Jewell Of
Libby raised the standards in Short
hand II to 90.1 per cent. We hope
the weather suited the farmers but
it was not good for q track meet as
the track was heavy and slippery and
the cold rain kept the athletes from
doing their best
In spite Of weather handicaps, Mr..
Midtown of Whitefish ran off we'll
managed meet and much credit is due
County Superintendent LaMunyan
and the Eureka school men for their
efficient preparation and management
Of the contests. Events were run as
scheduled and the last race was over
before 5 o'clock. Eureka was a gener-
sous and very courteous host to her
visitors-she set record in housing
and entertaining larger number Of
contestants than had taken part in
any previous meet.
