Show B. A. G. TRACK TEAM GETS THIRD Aggies Make Good Showing, All Things Considered, in State Tourney at Provo. Coach Jack Christcnscn and his squad of track men returned from Provo Wednesday, after participating in the state high school track meet. All things considered, Mr. Christcnscn Christcn-scn is well pleased with the third place won this year against tho strongest kind of competition. Salt Lake East and West high schools, which took the two first places this year, were especially es-pecially ' strong, particularly on tho sprints. Dixie, which took more points in tho district meet than the B. A. C. came in for fifth place in the state meet. There wero a lot of teams from large towns, such as Provo, Logan, Lo-gan, and others which were hardly1 heard from. j The winners of points for the B. A.' C. wero: J Henry Webster, first in pole vault, and second in the high jump. Wood Urie, second in discus, third in shot. Tho meet was held on the B. Y. U. campus, Provo and tho apparatus was below par. The pole was short, which prevented Webster from having a try at the stato record; the shot was an improvised affair, irregular in form and under size; the javelins had been) broken and were short and out of balance, bal-ance, so that tho work and records of i tho athletes were impaired. Leo Palmer made a plucky run inj tho quarter, crowding tho third man; very closely, but he was pitted against some of the fastest men that have ev-, er participated in a state meet and was forced to accept fourth, which did not count in tho matter of points. Therefore, ns already stated, know-1 ing beforehand that the B. A. C. was. not strong on the sprints this year, tho coach and men are well pleased i with their showing. I |
