The three meets sched- uled were: Chester at Dupo, Chester at New Athens and the Randolph County Track and Eield meet at Chester. ln the first meet of the season Chester defeated Dupo by a score of 63Vs to 4926. Although first places in the thirteen events were fairly evenly divided, the fackets taking seven, our team piled up a safe margin of points with sec- ond and third places. At the end of the meet Dupo presented Chester with a cup. In an almost steady downpour of rain our team rolled up a total of 73V2 points to retain the county track and field championship in the annual county meet held at the Eairground Moy 4. Evansville took second place with 49V2 points. The rest of the points were distributed between Coulterville, with lti, Red Bud 17, and Percy lil. Because of the handicap of mud and rain, no county records tumbled, although some of the marks indicated that favorable weather would have accounted for a different story. In the last meet of the season the Yellow lacket cindermen were defeated by the New Athens team, 66V2 to 46Vz, on the New Athens athletic field. Phegley completed a perfect record for the season in winning the half mile. Those who won letters were: Captain Phegley, Hertich, A Cowell, C. Ear- ney, Rieckenberg, B. Adams, and Schaak. CHESTER AT MURPHYSBORO K6-l3l The Yellowjackets went out to meet the Red Devils with the idea they were to play one of the strongest teams of the season. Had the game ended a minute sooner the result would have been a 6-6 tie. Murphysboro scored their first touchdown in the final minute of the first half, when Chester on their 20-yard line tried a forward pass. The Red Devil center snagged the ball and swept back through the field for a touchdown. ln the third quarter, A. Cowell, Chester fullback, came through off tackle to make a 38-yard run for a touchdown. 'With a series ot line plays in which Allison, Tilton, and Adams all functioned, Chester pushed the ball to the Red Devils 8-yard line. Here our touchdown play went hay-wire and the team was held for downs on a Page 28
