Mail Tribune 100: May 2, 1916 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted May. 2, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted May. 2, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News May 2, 1916 ATHLETIC MEET WON BY TALENT; RURALS A SURPRISE One hundred fifty nine athletes registered for the events at the Southern Oregon field and track meet at Talent Friday, April 28. Talent won with 147 1/2 points, Central Point second with 133 1/2 points, Phoenix third with 132 1/2 points and Rogue River fourth with 45 1/2 points. Other schools were Bell View, Murphy, Tolo, Anderson Creek, Applegate, Foots Creek, Sams Valley and Gold Hill. A few surprises came from the rural sections. Daisy Lyman from Sams Valley carried off the honors in the girls' 50 yard dash, time 6 1/2 seconds. Dale Spires from the Murphy school near Ashland won first place in the shot put, throwing the iron ball 35 ft. 7 inches. The country schools were only outclassed by numbers from the towns. Ernest Lyman of Gold Hill won the free-for-all three mile run and thus will secure the special trophy for that particular event. The others given in the order of their appearance over the scratch are: 2nd, Ed Lull, Central Point; 3rd, R. Parker of Medford; 4th, Harley Brower, Ashland; 5th, Victor Bell of Medford. Severe weather interfered with the afternoon program so that it was necessary to have the address of the day by Hon. J. A. Churchill in the auditorium. Although the main room including the balcony and all available standing room was occupied, only a small part of the crowd could hear the program. The balance of the crowd waited outside, in the gymnasium and hallways until the field and track events were again resumed. Mr. Churchill spoke of the value of athletics and complimented Mr. Ager for excellent management and for making such physical training possible in the school work. He confined his remarks largely to vocational training and the flexibility of the high school course. THE MEADOWS Bill Pomeroy and Bill Cottrell are sure showing themselves as real public-spirited citizens by donating their teams and time to scraping the roads and dragging them into far better condition than they were. It's up to some of the rest of us to get in line.
