li ©F STATE
With the mile relay team winning
third place, the Refugio High i
School Track team scored a total of
11 1-11 points at the State High
School Track and Field Meet last
week-end in Austin to place the
local school in the upper ten for
Class B schools, which had repre-
sentatives from some 100 schools
from throughout the state.
The record of Coach W. F. Ger-
mer’s tracksters is highly commend-
able in view of the fact that places
were won in six different exents.
The winning of a first place
earned 10 points. The taking of top
honors in any event by a specialist
scored nearly as many points as the
Refugio team earned.
The mile relay team of M. C.
Love, John R. Price, Jack Kelley
and Robert Thompson, made a
grand race closely contesting for
second place honors. The first place
winners won by some forty yards.
