In track, Corvallis High School is recognized as having produced
several of the best high school athletes in the state this season. Our team
this year is the strongest in the history of the school, although our weak
spot was in the weight events. Lloyd R. Farmer was captain and Everett
A. Moses manager.

The season was started with cross-country running, and on March
17 the interclass cross-country run was held in which the Juniors won
out by taking first and third, while a senior won second place. frances
baum won the runof three miles in 18 minutes and 15 seconds. Edward
Axtell took second and John Rollins third. a gold medal was presented
to the winner. The Juniors also won the Interclass meet with 59 points,
the Freshmen were second with 54, the Seniors third with 14 and the
sophomores last with 4 points. In this meet the monogram track men
were not allowed to compete.

Our frist meet of the season was the annual columbia University
Indoor meet in Portland on April 12th. everett Moses and Lloyd Farmer
represented our school in this meet and made a very fine showing by
capturing second place in the Academic or High School meet and fourth
place in the Open or College meet. We made four points in the Academic
events and six in the Open events. Everett Moses sprang a surprse in
the hurdle race by almost defeating Martin Hawkins, the Olympic hurd-
ler, forcing him to the tape in the fast time of six and three-fifths sec-
onds. "Mosie" placed second also in the Academic hurdle race and the
Academic fifty-yard dash. He established an Interscholastic Indoor rec-
ord of six and three-fifths in the fifty-yard dash. "Pete" Farmer
gained recognition by defeating all the college and Univeresity athletes
in the pole vault crearing the bar at ten feet and in inches, although he
took second to Holdman of Multnomah club. His mark raised the C.H.S.
record by three inches.

On April 19 Salem High School came to Corvallis for an Indoor meet
with our team and went home defeated by the close score of 63 to 54
points. This meet decided the Interscholastic Indoor Championship of
the willamette Valley. "Jig" Felton won the 440 in the fast time of 55
and 3-5 seconds equalling his high school record. In the 50 yard low hur-
dles Moses estrablished a new record of 6 and 2-5 seconds, and also equalled
his records in the high hurdle event and the fifty-yard spring. Lloyed
Farmer broke the high school record in the shot put with a toss of 37 feet
and 2 inches. Our relay team composed of Rearden, Morgan, Felton and
Moses won the relay in 1 minute and 4-5 seconds, lowering our school
record.

We meet the O.A.C. Freshmen on April 25 and were defeated 66 to
56 points. "Pete" Farmer sent the school record glimmering in the
javelin throw with a heave of 120 feet 5 inches. "Pete" also won the
high jump and pole vault easily from the freshman ('varsity) jumpers.
everett Moses ran off with the "century dash" in 10 and 2-5 seconds,
breaking our school record by one-fifth of a second. A feature of the meet
was the winning of all places by us in the springs and of all places by the
"Rooks" in the distances. Rearden won the 220 yard dash and "Mosie"
easily won the hurdles. After being shut out for most of the race Felton
forcged out into a pretty spring at the straight away and won a close sec-
ond in the 440. Our relay team won by ten yards.

We were badly defeated at the hands of the Eugene High School on
May 2nd, the score being 105 for Eugene and 35 for us. "Pete farmer
was not in the meet because of injuries, and because of this we lost a good
many points. As usual Everett Moses won the hurdles for us. In the 440
yard event "Jig" Felton ran a gritty race against the eugene champion
and won a close second. butts rearden was shifted to the hurdles to fill
in Farmer's place. He ran well and placed second in the high hurdles
and would have placed second in the low hurdles but he fell, then man-
aged to get third. Ralph Morgan's running in the 220 yard dash and the
relay was very creditable. Our relay team lost their race by a narrow
margin, and if they had not been overworked in the different events, a vic-
tory would have been most likely. Edward Axtell ran well in the mile and
took second.

In the Oregon State Interscholastic meet at Eugene, under the aus-
pices of the University, our men qualifying in the preliminaries in the
morning were: Rearden in the 100 yard dash, Morgan in the 220 yard
dash, Bonner in the 440 yard dash, Hopkins in the 880, Moses in the high
and low hurdles, and Farmer in the high jump, pole vault and javelin.
In the finals that afternoon Moses ran in the lead in the high hurdles until
the last hurdle when he lost his step, but almost tied with Muirhead of
Columbia University at the tape. His time was 16 and 2-5 seconds, which
breaks the C.H.S. record by two-fifths of a second. In the low hurdles
Moses slipped and fell on the last hurdle when he was about to win the
race. Farmer won third in the javelin with a throw of 128 feet 8 inches,
also breaking the C.H.S. record.

Our team went to Chemawa on May 15 for a dual meet with the
Chemawa Indian School. The "Indian braves" handed us a defeat of 91
to 29 points. They had every event almost their own way except the hur-
dles in which we won 15 out of a possible 18 points. Moses, Rearden and
farmer placed first, second, and third respectively in the low hurdles and
sprung a surprise on the redskins. Moses won the high hurdles with
"butts" Rearden third. In the 440 yard dash "Jig" Felton showed the
Indians that he was not as slow as he looked, and crowded the Indian
champion to the finish in 54 and 2-5 seconds. Our relay team did not run
as we had to leave the field and catch the train. Cap't Farmer won second
in the high jump and pole vault, and took third in the broad jump.

High school stars from all over the state were invited by Dr. Stewart,
of O.A.C., to take part in the All'Star track meet at O.A.C. on May 19.
CHS was represented by Farmer, Moses, Rearden, and Felton, who
won for our school second place in the meet. Moses, who had quit train-
ing, went into the meet and won both hurdles, and broke two records. In
the 120 yard high hurdle race "Mosie" outran the college hurdlers in the
fast time of 15 and 3-5 secons, breaking the Northwest Interscholastic
record. The world's record for high school athletes is only two-fifth of
a second faster. In the 220 yard low hurdle event Moses won easily in
26 seconds, breaking his own record of 26 and 4-5 seconds. He also won
second place in the broad jump. Lloyd Farmer won third in the broad
jump, and "Butts" Rearden took second in the meet. Moses won the individual hon-
ors as highest point winner, with Baker of O.A.C. second. This is the
last met in which Everett Moses and Lloyd Farmer represent CHS, as
they graduate this year. The team scoring in the meet were as follows:
O.A.C., 76 points; CHS 17 points; Washington High School of Port-
land 13 points; Chemawa Indian School, 12 points; and St. Johns High School, 8
points.
