Close Meet
MAY 19.-The annual V. E. S. Field Day was held on Johnson Field today. with Davis Rianhard's amateurs defeating Tuck Maddux's tracksters in the senior events, al- though Maddux's Juniors saved face by winning their portion of the meet. The scores were 54 to 49 in the seniors, and 223/z to 18,0.
Jim Ballou was high scorer for the day, with three first places. He won the 120 yard low hurdles, the
tOO yard dash, and the broad jump. Sprague. a junior, took 12 points in the 100 yard dash, the broad jump, and a tie for second in the high jump. Stieglitz got a first in the 220 yard dash, and also the 440 yard clash.
The outstanding event of the day was Betty's 143 foot javelin throw. Also outstanding was Gower's last kick on the 880 yard relay. He really decided the meet, for it was
tied until this event.
Both teams were made up of the
boys in school who had won no points in track last season, the juniors. 15 years and under and the seniors, 16 years and over.
