There were a to- tal of 12 schools represented, two less than last year but the represen- tation was much more state wide in character. The athletes came from all parts of the state, the only big school missing being Laramie. Casper points were scored by George Gobel who won the mile and 2inished second in the half-mile; Odie Gorrel, who placed second in the jav- lin throw and third in the low hur les; Harry Davis, who won second in the pole vault and Frank Taylor who placed third in the high hurd les. Gobet won the prettiest race of the @ay in the mile run. The race atart- ed with a Douglas man setting a ter- rific pace, evidently erecking to Kill off several of the inexperienced men Gobel rated himeelf along tn fourth place about 100 yarda back of the first man. When he hit the back stretch he cut loose with a beautiful sprint that carried him rapidly past one man after another. He finished 20 yards ahead of Boughn of Man- vitle, who landed in second place. Go- hel ran the same kind of a race tn the half, lying well back until the fast turn, when he started on a eprint that put him ahead of fi of the six runners in front of him. Smith of Greybull, the winner of this face, set a new state record of 2:13 breaking the former record of 2:19:2 set by Porte rof Parkerton last year.

This two-fifths of a sec ond faster than that distance hi ever been negotiated by = school boy in this state. He also cut a fifth of a gecond off the 220 yard dash mark, doing it in 22:2. Just to prove that his abfiity was not confined to the sprints Thompson broad jumped 20 feet 5% inches, thereby breaking the state recor¢, ‘won the javelin throw with a heave of 140 feet 1 inch, finished third in the discus and ran on winning relay team.

MEDAL SCORES ARE WANTED Commencing next Saturfay end Sunday and@ continuing weekly there- after until further notice, medal e#cores must be turned in by Casper golfers to the country club secretary in order that the handicap committee will have something to work on in arranging handicaps for tournament play. The penalty for non-compll- ance with this rule will be to play from rcratch, which would eliminate the majority of members from chances at the prizes. Increasing popularity of the game here is attested by the fact that al- most every day finds tho links crow4- ed, particularly over the week-end. Discing and rolling of the course has worked a wonderful improvement in the fairways, which are now in good shape for the season's play. Greens are also kept in fine condition. Players are finding the new . 9 hole a severe test by reason of the hazards and the distance of over 600 yards. Par for the nea course Js now 39 as-against 36 last year and to date no one has reached par.

Dreyfuss and McKechnie decided to insue the order, it was sald, in seek- ing to avoid em®arrassing circum stances of other yeara when wives of the players were unfortunate enough to make regrettable remarke while viewfig the game. Petty jealousies among the wives frequently resulted in words between the players. cde ‘Texas League. Dallas, 11; Shreveport, 3. Fort Worth, 6; Wichita Falls, @ Beaumont, 17; Houston, 0.
