ANDOVER WON TRACK MEET

The twenty-second annual track meet of the New England Interscholastic Amateur Athletic Association, held in the Stadium Saturday afternoon, was won by Andover with a total of 49 2-3 points. Volkmann School was second with 21 1-3 points, and Exeter and Worcester Academy were third and fourth with 16 1-3 and 15 1-6 points, respectively. The other schools scored as follows: Boston Latin, 6; Newton High, 6; Stone's, 5; Brookline High, 2 1-2; Noble's 2 1-2; Powder Point School, 2 1-2; Providence Technical High, 2; Quincy High, 2; Durfee High, 1.

The performances in both track and field events were of a fairly high order and many of the contests were close. The track was very heavy as a result of the rain Saturday morning, and the takeoffs for the field events were so soft that two new ones had to be improvised for the occasion. The weather was much to cold for remarkable performances in most of the events.

Hart of Exeter after winning the shot-put with 42 feet 11 1-4 inches made an exhibition put of 43 feet 3 1-2 inches, thus beating the former interscholastic record. J. R. Kilpatrick of Andover made a splendid showing by taking four first places and one fourth almost half the points won by his school. He got first place in both hurdle events, in the broad jump, and in the hammer throw, and fourth place in the shot-put. E. E. Nelson of Volkmann's won both dashes in very fast time, the 100-yard dash in 10 seconds flat and the 220 in 22 1-5 seconds. H. Jaques, Jr., of Volkmann's secured first place in the half-mile in 2 minutes, 5 3-5 seconds which was fair under the existing conditions.
