2 is WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHIIHIHIH HIHIIIHHHIMVIIIVIIIINIVW First Annual Ozark Wesleyan Track C9 Field M9ei The first annual high school track and field meet under the auspices of the col- lege was a great success. This meet took the place of the annual Carthage high school invitation meet, which has been the district's biggest meet for a number of years. Pittsburg, Kansas, high school won the meet with 33 8-15, a lead of 12 points over Carthage, who finished second. Columbus was third in the scoring, falling behind Carthage by a small fraction of a point, while Mountain Grove was fourth, half a point behind Carthage. Honors for high point man were tied between Klaner of Pittsburg and Reece of Mountain Grove, each of whom made 15 points. Klaner won the toss for the cup, but Reece will be given another by the college authorities. Pittsburg took another of the cups, the one for the high point team. Columbus won both the half-mile and the mile relays to carry home the other two cups offered in the meet. First, second and third places in each event were awarded medals. Of 17 schools entered in the meet, only two failed to place. The meet was at- tended by the largest crowd of the meet's history, probably because it was held on the college field. It was run off satisfactorily with the coaches of the diferent schools de- clar'ing their intention of coming back next year. While all records of the former Carthage High School invitation meet were discarded, and records made in this meet will stand until broken in successive meets, several of the old marks were broken, two of them by Carthage athletes. Leo Brooks of Carthage cleared the bar in the high jump at 5 feet, 1093 inches, to break his brother's record of 5 feet, SV2 inches, set by Fred Brooks in 1925. Thomas Dumphy of Carthage set a new record for the district in the 120-yard high hurdles with a time of 16.8 seconds, breaking the record of 17 seconds set by Starr of Sheldon in 1925. Klaner of Pittsburg did the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat to equal the record set by McMahon of Monett in 1920 and equaled by Miller of Monett in 1925. Fulkerson of Picher ran the 440 in 51.9 to surpass the tied records of Allen of Joplin in 1922 and Keithley of Nevada in 1925, their mark being 53 seconds. Reece of Mountain Grove tossed the discus 116 feet to break the old record of 115 feet, 1 inch, set in 1923 by Bunker of Nevada. willIIHIHlHHHHllIHlIIIHII
