Are Stars As Team Wins
First Title
Karnes Credited With Build
ing Team Capable of Plac-
ing In Every Event

Unlike the single-man track
teams of other years when suffl-
cient points were gained to keep
the school barely among the plac-
ers, Redwood Falls High schools
1885 entry in the district track
and field meet collected enough
counters through it's representa-
tives to capture first place for the
first time as far as the recollection
of school officials date back.
The event was held on the new
athletic field at New Ulm Satur-
day afternoon and it's newness and
softness beclouded the hopes of
entrants to break any standing
record in this area. The Cardin-
ais were strong in every one of
the 13 departments. At least they
were strong enough to place in
each and come back with So and
five-sixth points while New Ulm,
the closest opponent, totalled 45h
points to the credit side of the
meets ledger.
Winthrop finished third with 38
and one-third points, Gaylord was
fourth with 35, Springfield scored
8 for fifth honOrs. Franklin gath
cred 31s points for sixth place and
Echo finished in the seventh posit-
ion with 2 and five-sixth points.
Morton, eighth entrant, failed to
place in any of the events.
Witnesses of the event saw an
entirely different Redwood team
take it's stand against the dis
trict's leading competitors than in
the days Of Tommy Finn and,
later, Ward Cuff when each would
roam the scene Of action from one
event to the next, breaking and
establishing all-time records. This
year saw several men entered in
all events.
Individual credit for success in
the meet must go to Guy o. Kar-
mes. track coach. Karnes, serving
his second and last year in the
Redwood schools, assembled the
squad early this spring and
spent considerable time and ener-
gy on its development. He rip
ened the green group into the
most polished aggregation Of
tracksters which took the field
Saturday.
Steve Inglis came closer to be-
ing the individual star than any
of his teammates. He had little
difficulty in firsting the high
jump with a leap Of five feet,
three inches; concentrated his ef-
forts on the broad jump for his
other first with q jump Of 10 feet,
five and one-fourth inches and
missed winning the high hukdles
only when the soft track caused
his slipping when attempting to
clear the last barrier. He collec-
ted ten points for the Karnesmen.
Myrl Lindeman and Cornelius
Kramer tied for second scoring
with nine points, each collecting .
first and second. Lindeman star
ted of with second in the 220
yard dash but retaliated later by
bagging the 440 in 6O.2 seconds.
Kramer tied for second in the
high jump and then cornered first
in the javelin throw when he heav-
ed the spear 154 feet.
