JUST A BLURR
The flint annual Greyhound i Tom N'h hoi
Races ran off to perfection !<«•'«
Saturday despite the fart thnt
] the weather threatened all af-
ternoon and a fine mist feii dur
j iiiR most o! the finals Satur-
day night. A light rain tell Sat
jurdny night. A light ram tell
: Saturday mm-ninc but a strong
j wind cleared the skies and dried
j the field and hy 12 Kl |> rn. when
| itw meet gut started everythin
‘was dry under foot
i Several schools laded to culm
! at ihe last minute, lull even
i with Ihe Inst mimne < iineeta-
tions over 500 l»>ys were en-
i terial tn the track meet repre-
I senttng schools from till over
the entire area
The meet's host rerords were
! turned in in the field events
i where Jimmy Brown of Bishop
-el a high jump mark ttml will
probably stand for years to
.come Brown topped the polo
at G feet and 4 holies. In the
;K>lr> vault Gerald Ife-seltine of
iSinton cleared 13 feet to also
j set another record that w ill he
ihard for future \ iiihei - to top
In 'he hark events a rather
slow track and punishing wind
commned to keep any ol the
times from being too goal; how-
lever. mod of the times were
l good considering the fact th..'
the Greyhound Races w as one
of the first meets ol the r mi
Sinton. with their well bal-
anced tram, stacked up a total
of 95 points to win the ntf :
Bishop camp in second with ad
pom! s nod i ho i. -j.ft I -; ny'lioi''i -
copped third with 56 |«un.
Taft scored heavily in the re
i lays to skyrocket into the top
| three late in the meet
Spectators were high in thou
praise on how efficiently 1he
Greyhound Roes were run off.
All events were started prompt-
ly on time and during Ihe finals
the meet was speeded up a hit
due the threatening weather
Roy I.ierman. head coach, vv.i-
high in his praise t his week of
the help given hy the men of the
community and expressed his
appreciation of their work.
