The new ceinent tennis court which the School Board so kindly had laid this year to replace that given by the NVoman's Improvement Club was used considerably, and some middling good players were developed. The was also used for basketball and although no games were playe-I outside Brentwood, the girls and some of the boys had some good times t'Olll't there. 'I' RAC 'K The Third Annual Track Meet ot' the Contra Costa Athletic League was held at East Shore Park, Stege, on the second day of April, 191 1. In all, titty men were entered from six high schools of the county, the schools entering men being as follows: Richmond, Martinez tAlhambral, Concord tMount Diablol. Antioch tRiverviewJ, Crockett fJ0hn Swettl, and Brent- wood tLihertyl. The order ill regard to number ot' points won at Stege is: Richmond, Concord. Antioch, Brentwood, Martinez. and Crockett.
