from Alexandria and Osakis in the
track event held at the local Fair
Grounds. The locals emerged with
thirty-six points to twenty-eight

Dropping all first places in the
running events the locals came
back strong in the field contests to
take first place in the pole vault,
discus throw, javelin throw and to
take several seconds and thirds in
other events. Alexandria with only
four contestants gave a remark
able showing to take a first in the
running high jump, the 22O yard
dash, and the 40 yard dash. Osa-
kis licked up firsts in the 100 yard
dash, the shot put, the running
broad jump, and in the latter
event placed one, two, and three;
Points were determined on the
basis of 5 for first, for a Sec
ond, and for a third.
This preliminary session for the
district meet, coming soon, was
well met with an enthusiastic
crowd on beautiful afternoon. AL
though a practice event, it merited
the enthusiasm and was a decided
step in making track a permanent
part of the schools activities.
Coach Harvey stated that If the
enthusiasm was manifested in the
district meet next Saturday that
was shown in the preliminary
meeting that the district event
might become permanent thing
in this city.
Many of the participants in the
various events had never had work
outs in their particular events, but
| were more than willing to try
anything once" AS a result Osa-
kis placed second in the javelin
throw with Hanson, who had new
er thrown the javelin before, max
ing 1852 feet, bested only by Du-
Bots who made 1925 feet.
