We have a strong little track team this spring which has won
places
in every meet yet entered. Captain Felton has had the boys at
work all
spring and they have been out, rain or shine. In the Columbia
indoor meet
they tied with the Washington High of Portland for third place
and the
latter holds second place in the contest for Pacific Coast High
School
Championship, so it may be seen that we have a track team not to
be
scorned.
The Juniors are the class champions on the field. In the
interclass
meet they carried off fifty-five points, the Sophomores came
second with
forty-four and the Freshmen third, with thirty-six. The Juniors
were pre-
sented with a maroon and blue banner as their reward. This was
hung in
the assembly room where it can be seen by all those visiting our
school.
Captain Felton, our man for the 440-yard run, is new in the game
and
lacks the experience, yet he is fast and there is time for his
development.
At the Columbia inddor meet Felton did well for a beginner and
was only
beaten by men who had been at the work for several years.
Everett Moses is our star, having been at work on the track for
four
years as a sprinter, hurdler and broad jumper. During these years
he has
often been a winner. In the Columbia meet he carried off second
place in
both the 50-yard dash and the 50-yard high hurdles.
Lloyd Farmer is another man who has been at work for a number
of
years. He tied the High School record in the high jump and lacked
one
inch of qualifying for the final in the Columbia indoor meet. He
fell short
of qualifying for the pole vault for some unknown reason. He had
cleared
the bar at home several inches above where he failed there, but
the school
knows that he will make up for it before the year is over.
Pugh and King are respectively mile and half mile men. This is
their
first year on the track and not much can be expected from them.
they
both show good form and can look forward to a time when they can
carry
off first in High School meets.
Bonner and Adams are two other men for running and showing up
well
in practice. Bonner has had some experience and has earned a
place on the
team. This is the first year for Adams, yet he handles himself
well and
will probably make a good showing in some of the spring meets.
The team will go to Eugene to the interscholastic High School
meet
and the U. of O. on the 10th and 11th of May. They will also
enter the
O.A.C. interscholastic meet on May 17th and 18th. We expect the
boys
to make even better a showing in these meets than they made at
Columbia
and the school is willing to support them to the last.
