Field Meet
Annual Event Is Another
Highly Successful Affair,
This Year at Eureka.
KEEN COMPETITION;
FINE SPORTSMANSHIP

Since the Lincoln County meet has
been divided into separate sections, it
it necessary to specify the winner by
the division in which the school excels.
Probably the most sought prize of the
annual competition is the cup for ath-
1etic supremacy; that went to Lincoln
County with Troy second and Libby
third. The score was So, 81 and FL.
The tipping honors, which have been
held by the locals for seven straight
years, were yielded to Troy who
brought out a couple of speed demons
in the tipping The score Troy IL, Lib
by 13, Lincoln County 5.
Two new records were established
when Fleming went over the bar in the
pole vault at eleven feet and Joyce
Daggett made perfect record in short
hand II. West came close to the old
Williams record in the discus but
lacked the Az inches to reach Woodys
mark. Daugharty of Troy, after being
paced to fast mile by Nolop, came
within second and half of Rushers
record Of 4.49Ia Lindsey Of Troy came
within four feet of the javelin mark.
Elliott and West of Lincoln ran good
races in the quarter and go and might
have hung up new marks if they had
been pushed enough.
I.incoln's new track was in good
shape, the day was ideal and the sports
manship of the contestants and the
crowd was commendable. Eureka act
ed as a generous and courteous host
th1
success.
Coach Erickson is rebuilding the Lib
by track machine and was encouraged
when several Of his proteges showed up
to an advantage. Klehm looks like an
Iron Man in a year or two, Nolop
ran a heady half and paced the fleet
Daugharty to a fast mile, Hayden will
be a hurdler and high jumper with
practice and the boys who are be-
ginning now will be called upon for
heavy duty next year Hansen and
Hampton, who won second in the mile
and high jumps. will be lost by gradu-
alton. On the other hand Libby's OPP
ponents will suffer heavily by loss Of
seniors and the 1888 meet here should
be good one.
To keep the Libby colors up the
Junior High made clean sweep oil
their events and brought home all three
cups offered for grade competition. In
scholarship they made an enviable rec
ord by taking firsts or tying for them
in every event except one. The girls
basket tossers won from Eureka for the
first time in many moons. Every
where the grades showed up well a:

A noon lunch and complimentary,
