Junior Year Book JJaij? Ilurty-imu ' Ninth Annual Track Meet Kankakee County On May 14, 1909, the ninth annual track meet between Momence, Kankakee and Herscher, occurred in Kankakee. Great interest was taken in this meet as shown by the number of train tickets sold. A number over one hundred and twenty-five being sold in a little over a day and a-half. Kankakee had a short time before announced that a new event, the 120-yard low hurdles, would be put in, in place of the standing broad, and when Momence objected to en¬ tering under these conditions, Harvey was invited instead of the M. H. S., but thru the efforts of the principal and Captain Giroux, of Momence, satisfactory arrangements were made. On the night of the thirteenth it rained and on the four¬ teenth it was announced that no track meet would be held, the track at Kankakee being too muddy, but later, about 10 o’clock, after much telephoning back and forth, it was concluded to have the meet notwithstanding the poor con¬ dition of the track. Over one hundred rooters accompanied the team on the excursion train, but when the M. H. S. fellows reached Kankakee, they found the mud about two inches in depth all around the circle. This fact prevented a good showing in the races. The track improved, however, as the after¬ noon went on. One county record was broken, Hess making 19 feet, 11 3-4 inches in the running broad jump, and more would probably have been broken had it not been for the poor track. In the high jump Sherwood and Allen tied for first at 5.3 and a coin was flipped for first, Allen won out Sherwood taking second. Neil Metcalf, TO.
