The Ilirsc Congregational church troop was forced to the limit throughout the afternoon as several others rose up | from time to time to challenge it, and it was not until the meet was nearly over-that it was able to as- sume a commanding lead, while even then the closing rush of Troop | 20 of the Lincoln school brought ‘L! to within 8 1-2 points of the cham- pions; who have never been defeatcd since the annual meets were begui | in 1815 Troop 4, which ran up 51 points | last year and nearly doubled the to- | tal of its nearest opponent, was able | to score only 39 1-2 points Saturday, while Troop 20 finally em.erged from | a wild scramble of cecond-place eeekers and-won the runuer-up hLon- ors with 31 points.
