ln District Five Track and Field Meet at
Sweetwater, the Abilene Eagles won fourth
place with 17 l-4 points. Abilene's only first
place came from Gene Bennett's javelin throw
of 155 feet ll l-2 inches. Willie Phillips tied
for first in the 440-yard run. Phillips, who
won the broad jump last year, did not come
up to expectations when he failed to place in
this event.
No records were broken in this year's meet,
but the race for team championship was so
close that no places were decided until the
final event had taken place. Places won by
