THE JUNIOR YEAR BOOK TRACK MEET. WATSEKA HIGH SCHOOL VS. MOMENCE HIGH SCHOOL. The Momence High School Track Team, accompanied by the South Side principal, E. B. Porter, went to Watseka, Saturday, May 2, 1908, on the 9:52 train to meet the Watseka High School Track Team in a dual track and field meet. The day was not an ideal one for the meet, as the track was soft anti the wind was strong and cold, but nevertheless, the Momence team was full of go from the start to the end of the meet. They downed the Watseka boys to the tune of 87 to 21, only allowing them two firsts, one second and a few stray thirds let fall by the wayside for the lack of Momence men enough to enter three in every event. It was a walk away for our boys, they having the much stronger team. Some very good records were made in the field events. Stratton did 18 feet and 8 inches in the running broad jump, taking first place, with Hayden a close second at 18 feet. Stratton took first in the standing broad jump at 9 feet and 9 inches, and Hayden second at 9 feet and 4 inches, with Giroux third at 9 feet 8 inches. In the discus throw Giroux was an easy winner at 87 feet 11 inches. Tuttle tied for first in the shot put at 87 feet 1 inch. Hayden won the pole vault at 9 feet 5 inches, and showed that he was good for several inches more if crowded. Allen took second in the high jump at 5 feet. On the track it was a joke. It looked as if two races were being run each time. Our boys would come in in a bunch, striving among themselves to see who would get highest honors, while the Watseka men came trailing along in the rear in a class by themselves. In the 50 yard dash Momence’s last man was a good 12 feet ahead of Watse- ka’s first. The track event winners were: 50 yard dash—Hess, first; Stratton, second; Giroux, third. 100 yard dash—Giroux, first; Hess, second, Nichols, third. 220 yard run—Giroux, first; Stratton, second, Hess, third. 440 yard run—Wilson, first; Allen, second. Only two entries for Momence. 880 yard run—Smith, first; Wilson, second. Only two entries for Momence. One mile run—Hayden, first; Smith second. The hammer and hurdles were out of service or the boys might have added a few more points to the already one-sided score of 87 to 21.
