TRACK Saturday May 3, the Simla track team, handicapped by immenseodds and an overwhelming lead of 25 points fought its way to a tie for the Track Championship of the Eastern Colorado League. The track was in ideal shape and the weather condi- tions perfect. A large crowd from many of the sur- rounding towns was present and the spirit of competi- tion proved unusually strong. Hugo, Simla's strongest competitor for the cup, gain- ed the lead by winfii ng first and second in both short dashes and seemed certain of victory, but was unable to hold its lead in the face of the determined efforts of the Simla team. Thierfelder, from Simla, was high point man of the meet, winning the individual cup with a total of 18 points. Five records were broken, three of which were brok- en by Simla men. They were: 220 record broken by I. Haycook:m1le run by Hefley, and broad jump by Thier- felder. Giles from Hugo broke the 120 high hurdles rec- ord and the discus record The deciding eventand one ofthe most exciting feat- ures of the meet proved to be the 880 yd. relay race. On this race depended whether or not the Simla team would be successful in its attempt to overcome Hugo's huge lead and tie for the cup. Although Hugo's team number- ed among its members. Kaiser and Taylor, who had al- ready placed in the dashes, it was unable to outrun Thierfelder, Keating,'Pease and Haycook, who won the event by a large margin and thus tied the meet 51-5 to 515 points. It was decided that Hugo should receive the cup now in possession of the E. C. I. L. and that Simla should be awarded a new duplicate cup. 100 yd. dash, Irving Haycook third. 120 yd. hurdles, Oscar Pease third. Mile Run, Dwight Hefley first. 440 yd. dash, C. Thierfelder first, R.
