, 1 at at as TRACK TEAM at an at 5 Although the Santa Ana High School cannot as yet successful- ly compete with some of the stronger preparatory schools in South- ern California along the line of track and field Athletics, still it has turned out a team this spring considerably superior to any team of this nature which has previously represented it. Another year of such improvement will place it among the foremost schools of the southern part ofthe State in this popular sport. It has been large- ly due to the encouragement given it by Prof. Martin and Principal Oakley, that the team has been as successful as it is. Considering the fact that they have had no available coach, and that the athletic funds are low and the equiments not of the best, the boys have done as well as could be expected. On the whole, the team is unusually well balanced, the kind that is successful in dual meets but not very much so in the large interscholastic meets. On Saturday afternoon Feb. 3, the aspirants for the track team engaged in a very spirited meet at Athletic Park. This was doubly interesting owing to the fact that it was not only to determine the members of the team for the time-being, but also the winning class. When the score was iinally counted it was found that the Senior '06 had won the meet with thirty-eight points, while the Juniors '07 were second with thirty, and the Sophomores and Freshmen third and fourth with twenty one and nineteen points respectively. Three weeks later, Saturday March 2-1, the crack Los Angeles Polytechnic High School team came here and emerged victors in one of the most interesting meets of the season. Robert Spur- geon was easily the star of the day, winning the fifty, hundred and two twenty yard dashes in good time. Santa Ana was strong in the dashes and jumps, while Polytechnic excelled in the middle distance runs, and in the pole-vault. The final score was sixty three to fifty-one. Since that time the local boys have greatly im. proved however, and are hoping for another chance at their con- querors, for they feel sure that they can defeat them if they h ave another chance. Following are the results in detail:-

One night after school, the Senior class attempted to vanquish the rest of tho school, which they did with ease, in spite of Spurgeon who won four first places for the underclassmen. Phillips for the Seniors was practically as good however, for he Won three firsts and tied for the fourth first which he could doubtless have Won had the event been Iinish- ed Then the team Went to Pomona March 31, and while not crowning their school with glory, came back with two medals and a lot of experience. Spurgeon's showing in the two-twenty was good for, after losing four feet on the start, he ran Donnell, the speedy Los Angeles High School sprinter, a dead heat in 23 sec. iiat, breaking the Pomona College Interscholastic record in that event.
