Western Slope Meet CHE Western Slope Track meet, held at Montrose May 4, 5 and 6. was, perhaps, the best meet of its kind yet held on the slope.

S. lacks pep and that the business men of Grand Junction were lacking in support of the high school, is or should be out hiding in the sage brush or some such place in the desert, doing penance lor their sin. The inspiring demonstration of loyalty to G. J. H. S. given in the sending of the Tiger track team to the All-Western track and field meet at Boulder. May 13, was one of the finest indications of the spirit of our high school and the community interest ever recorded in the annals of Grand Junction high school. On the evening of May 10, when it seemed extremely doubtful that G. J. H. S. would be represented at the big track meet at Boulder, Elmer Hampson and Harry Peabody interviewed two prominent business men, who offered to go on the note of any high school organization that would borrow' the money from the bank to finance the trip. The Junior Rotary accepted this resi onsibility and Herman W. Vorbeck, Ole Nelson and T. J. Hampson went security on the $250 note. Fred Hinton, president; James Latimer, treasurer; Elmer Hampson, and Harry Peabody represented the club. The Rotary and Lions Clubs had been asked for one dollar from each member and it was given. Several business men gave larger amounts. At a riotous j ep meeting next morning $100 was raised by subscription from the students. The remainder of the $250 was furnished by the Boosters and Junior Rotary Clubs. In this way a fine chapter has been written in the history of G. J. H. S., and that evening saw the five track men and Coach Beattie on their way to the All-Western Track and Field meet. All Western Track Meet IN the All-Western Track and Field meet, held in Boulder. Saturday, May 13. thie Tigers won seventh place, leaving seventeen crack teams of the West to squabble over places from ninth down. Ft. Collins pulled down first in the meet mainly by capturing a large number of seconds and thirds. The locals undoubtedly w’ould have finished nearer tbe top of the list had their relay team had a fast team to run with. The relay was run in heats, the time of the winner of each heat being taken, and compared with the rest. The Tiger relay team finished a good fifty yards ahead of their opponents, but were up against a slow team, and so were not pushed to the full extent of their endurance. They tied for third. Friedman, of tbe Tiger team, tied for second individ- ual honors, w'ith 7 points to his credit. One man from Carlton, Mo., captured first individual honors. Friedman took second in the high jump and broad jump, and third in the shot put. The high jump was won at 5 feet 7% inches. The broad jumper who took first went 22 feet £ inches. The time in the relay was l:37g. The score of the different cities follows: Ft Collins - 31 Vfe Greeley 4 Longmont . 16 Yuma — — 3 Loveland . 16 La Junta 3 Carlton.

This has been the most successful year we have ever had in baseball, and this is due to training, coaching and an exceptionally fine lot of material. We were especially fortunate in obtaining the services of Harry Zimmer, a former major league star, as coach. Our only defeat of the season was one of a three-game series played with Olathe, the 1921 Western Slope champions. Sanders, Neish, Stevens, H. TuppeT and Purcell have played their last games for G. J. H. S., and their vacancies on the diamond next year will certainly be noticed. However, with the aid of Sloan, Gormley, Clark, MacKinnon, Medders, Smith, McFall, Chadwick and several recruits, we should have a championship team again next year.
