"Why didn't La Grande win more
points at the Whitman meetr Is a
question often asked since the return
of the team last Saturday night from
walla walla where the meet was
held last Friday and Saturday. Ans
wering with a question. "Why didn't
Spokane win more than 16, Lewiston
11, Walla Walla 3, Pendleton 8, North
Yakima 10 and why didn't Colfax.
Garfield, Palouse, Prosser, Wallace.
The Dalles and other towns win a
single point?" For the reason that
the greatest galaxy of Individual Etars
ever assembled ' under high echool
colors in the Pacific Northwest were
entered and participated. Never be
forehas there been such a narray of
stars in particular events as in this
case, and it can indeed be said that
La GrandeyWas fortunate to squeeze
out ten points. '
Some times La Grande was bested
sometimes ground conditions Btood
between the local athletes and victory
of the first water and sometimes luck
played a strong hand in the game.
ran against a combination of fast
men and hard luck; Heidenrlch met
failure because of ground conditions
and Carpy fell .In the low hurdles
when near the finish and at a time
when he was abreast with the win
ners. La Grande v.as both bested and
fouled ;in the relay. More records
were broken and more records were
grazed than in any meet ever, held
at the Whitman grounds. In the half
mile, . Peare was running with six
men, among others, who were his eq
ual, and he theirs. On a short track
jockeying plays ' an ' important part,
and with a lack of headwork to cli
max a series of misfortunes in draw
ing positions at the pole during the
grueling race, he won only third.
IJeldenrlch throws the hammer with
one hand a remarkable feat and it
creates a longer radius in the circle
described by the revolving hammer,
and as he was forced to stand. in a
depressed ring the hammer touched
the ground during the swing, throw
ing him out of the ring. Carpy was
running a strong race in the final
220 hurdle race when he accident
ally, touched a hurdle and tore up the i
turf with bis pr6blscls. McConnel of
Boise a .veritable dark horse had
Peare's goat He won from Peare
in the half and he defeated him again
in the high hurdles, though the two
were coached along different lines.
McConnel was taught to skim the hur
die close and knock down, while
Peare : was coached to hurdle safe,
in conformlnlty with the new rules
of the A. A. U.. These rules were
not followed out and Peare was at a
distinct disadvantage. .
La Grande made a brilliant show
ing In the polevan!t, where Jay Mll-
lering .proved himself the winner in
easy style. He won the only first
for La Grande.
' Relay Exciting
The relay is really a separate issue
at the meet and is also the scene of
glorious battles. It was never more
glorious than last Friday when La
Grande was defeated by the narrow
est margin by Spokane. Spokane had
four men who were used entirely by
the management for the relay, and
as luck would have it, they qualified
Thursday without running because
there were no otter jteams In their
preliminary heat La Grande on the
other hand was forced to run a gruel
ing, race Thursday. Friday evening
the Spokane team came' out without
having had to turn a aanu during
the two days, while La Grande's tot.ni
had been through the mill tellingly.
At the crack of the pistol Carpy left
the ."bunch" and "ran like a "black
uorse in a wnue sun, u u in
scribed by a witness, leaving all but
Spokane's man far in the rear, He
led Spokane by five yards or more
Arlo Meyers maintained that lead
in the relay up to the very last when
the man gained slightly, and Virgil
Bolton- was touched off with about
four feet in the lead. He , finished
about four' yards ahead of his man
and Cecil Bolton was started on the
last lap. To the very tape almost,
he led the race but weakened from a
most terrlfflc 220 yard run and by a
superhuman effort the Spokane man
threw himself into the tape by a mar
gin of a few inches only. -The huge
audience simply lost control of Itself
during the brief but exciting strug
gle. It was a race in which La
Grande led from the gun to within
a few inches of the tape only to lose
the event The rest of the field fin
ished in a straggling manner. In Vir
gil Bolton's relay, the Spokane man
was so close at one time that he
reached out and seizing Bolton by
the arm threw bodily to one side but
grlttlly regaining hisv stride, Virgil
left his opponent nevertheless,
i The winners for La Grande were:
Mlllering, first in the pole vault;
Heidenrlch second In 'the discus;
Peare third in the half mile and the
high hurdles, spelling ten points for
La Grande Ellensburg won 19 points
with Cooke winning 18 of them and
he took the meet and the individual
cup. Other schools from a vast geo
graphical territory broke in for sev
eral points here and . there, ; scatter
ing the final result in great 'shape.

My Idea of the Best Way
To Be Helpful to Mankind.
' By Mri RUSSELL SAGE. . X ',
ICKNE8S, MISFORTUNE, FIRES, THE FORCED MISERIES OF
LIFE, THOSE ARE THE ' CONDITIONS . I WOULD ALLEVIATE.
We all have our ideas about helping people. Mr. Car
negie has his particular way, and I hear that D. K. Pearsons,
who, at the age of 'ninety, recently announced his intention "of giving
away his last million, received five hundred letters a day telling him
how to do it,' but I believe that LIFTING IS BETTER THAN
TEACHING. ;-.-:v V:
When Christ fed the multitude, you know; he did not give any
lecture or precede it with any homiletics. He JUST FED THE
HUNGRY, yyou remember. I think that is very 8ignificant,, and I
believe WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN NEED THEY SHOULD
BE LIFTED OUT OF THEIR CONDITIONS. lift them out
of tuberculosis when you can out of all dead conditions into live
ones. ) r"'-'.!.''." ;;'.. "V,,'; ' :.
r. I find a great deal of gratitude. At the same time it is like the
Saviour healing the ten lepers.' ONE CAME BACK :TO THANK
HIM. Human nature is much the same today. , Some tell of their
gratitude. Some don't I have never been able to analyze why some
are seemingly ungrateful, v '4
