A large number of these candidates were un- derclassmen, and this makes it look as if Dedc would have the material for sev- eral more championship teams in the fu- ture. This year practice began a little late so the boys have had some stiff work. The interclass meet was held in the latter part of April and a good showing was made, for so short a period of practice. Eugene Moran of the junior class was the highest individual point winner with Fred Robbins of the senior class a close second. The Freshmen and Juniors carried away a vic- tory over the Seniors and Sophomores in this meet with a 67-64 score.

The college men entertained the boys during the two days stay and every man was glad of the opportunity to see college life in this way. A FEW COMMENTS ON THE MIDDLEBURY Bob f.lHarlow is a hard man to beat. Ask thei upstate champions if they know him. We are glad to have, Bob on the B. H. S. track team. Our little boy will be some high jumper when he grows up. Vic Manley is cer- tainly a fine little jumper when he goes over the bar when it is a couple of inches over his head. We wonder how some of the big fellows feel when he sails over heights they canit reach. Ed Manley gets a wonderful curve on the discus when he wants to. It goes through the air just as if he knew how to make it work after it has left him. How do you do it, Eddie? CYou should watch Gene Moran throw the discus. Ask Dede about itlb Did you see or hear that little boy with the flashy suit and nice part in his hair? It is our manager, Francis Harwood and he makes a good one, too. No cake or pie, fellows. Better leave off the ice cream to- nightf' INVITATION MEET The B. H. S. Invitation Meet was held on the Fair Grounds, May 7, Again Brat- tleboro was victorious, winning by 64 points.

S. track team consisting of Captain Robbins, Eugene Moran, Robert Harlow, Edmund Manley, Edwin Lindsey, and Philip Wheeler won the Vermont Championship meet under the auspices of the University of Vermont, at Burlington, June 2 and 3. Brattleboro scored 672 points, Rutland was second with 382 points, and Lyndon Institute was third. This meet may be said to have been the easiest of the three meets in which B. H. S. has participated this year, as but 75 men were entered and, in general, competition was not so strong. The sprints, however, were closly contested. Due to .the un- favorable Weather no records were made and the time of the events was slow. The finals of the meet were run off in the rain on a track which was covered in places with six inches of water only an hour be- fore. Gnly the fine spirit of the university men in pumping off the field made the meet possible. . The individual point winner was Eugene UIIJ2 tal Moran with 28 points, while Fred Robbins took second honors with 182 points. Moran took first in the pole vault, broad jump, 120 yard high hurdles, 220 yard low hurdles, second in the 100 yard dash, and 220 yard dash, and third in the shot put. Robbins took second in the high and low hurdles, shot put, and broad jumpg tied for second place in the pole vaultg and took third inythe 100 and the 220 yard dashes. Harlow won a sensational half-mile race in fast time and easily took the mile run. Manley wonthe discus throw with three throws, each of 99.9 feet. Lindsey placed second in a hard 440 yard run. The relay team consisting of Manley, Wheeler, Harlow, and Lindsey ran a thrilling mile relay, each man running a 440 yard dash. The race was said by many to be the finest relay that they had seen, as the lead al- ternated between Brattleboro and Rutland. Rutland won the hard-earned race in the last fifty yards. The Burlington Meet is the tenth consecutive meet that Brattleboro High School has won in four years. Hats off to Dede! The men to receive their letter for track are: Captain Fred Robbins, Eugene Moran, Robert Harlow, Edmund Manley, Philip Wheeler, and Edwin Lindsey. These men have elected Eugene Moran track captain for the 1923 season. BASEBALL A large squad turned out for the first baseball practice, indicating more interest than usual. Brattleboro shines so in track that the baseball team has to struggle along without much interest being shown in it. This year an especial effort was made to arouse enthusiasm for baseball. Mr. Page, the coach, has developed a very good team, they are on the average small in stature but they can certainly play ball. Winchester as pitcher and Culver catching make a for- midable battery. B. H. S. lost two games to Keene alld one to both Holyoke and to Turners Falls. In the last three games the team has im- proved greatly. In the game with Turn- ers Falls they held the score to a tie until the eighth inning, then Turners Falls strengthened and came through with 2 runs, winning the game with a score of 6- 3. In the last game, With Turners Falls, at Brattleboro, the team showed what they could do and they did it. The score of 9-1 was due to the excellent pitching by Wiiicliester and to some good batting by all the members of the team. Winchester struck out ll men and allowed 3 men to make hits and the rest of the team helped pile up the points on the other side. The prospect for the rest of the year looks very good and the team should receive bet- ter support from the school in the way of a cheering section.

EXCHANGE COMMENTS The DIAL, Brattleboro, Vt., we can hardly criticize such a splendid paper. We like it very much indeed and are looking forward to your coming issue. -Brigham 4 Academy Bugle. You have an abundance of fine material and all that goes in the making of a fine paper. We admire particularly the picture of the ski-jumper on the cover. -The Philomath. The DIAL was now the center of all at- traction.. How pleasing it was to examine this paper. Every department was unique. Poetry was lacking, but the stories showed excellent literary work. We were also more than interested to read the music depart- ment, and learn of their Music Appre- ciation and that the Operetta The Mika- do would be presented in the near future. Not much space was given to athletics. Perhaps it would be wise to remedy this, but the literary department should not be sacrificed for it. -The M Unite. The DIAL, Brattleboro, Vt., contains plen- ty of good school notes. The cover of the Easter issue is very attractive. The staff are striving for the scholarship offered to a worthy member of the staff of the best Vermont high school paper by the Uni- versity of Vermont. -The Eltrurian. The DIAL--WC like your French De- partment very much. -The Red and White.
