of Reber
CENTRAL STAR GETS TWO CUPS
Wins 19 or 38½ Points Scored b Team—Hardy of Catholic High Second in Individual Honors
Through the brilliant work of one man, the Central high school of Kansas City, Mo., captured the fifth annual invitation track and field meet Saturday by a score of $38\%$ points. J. Reber, the star of the Central team, took 19 of the total number of points scored. The following scores were made by the competing schools: Central, Kansas City; $38\%$; Westport, Kansas City; $28\%$; Lawrence $24\%$; Catholic high; $11\%$; Clay Center, Wichita; 7; Iola 5; Washington 5; Onaga, 5; Arkansas City 5; Tonganoxie, 3; Humboldt 3; Coffeyville, 2; Perry, 2.
The meet was run off under ideal conditions and though only two records were broken, good time was made in all of the events. J. Reber established a new record of 47 feet, 10 inches in the shot put. He made this on his first trial. Hartwig of Humboldt held the previous record of 41 feet. Moll of Onaga smashed the invitation meet record in the high jump when he cleared the bar at 5 feet 9 inches.
One of the prettiest races of the afternoon was the mile, won by Root of Clay Center. Root was led by two men until the last quarter of the final lap when he showed his great reserve power by making a fast sprint and crossing the tape in the lead with a time of 4:40.
J. Reber of Central was easily the star of the meet. He won two cups, one for the highest individual point scores and the other for breaking an invitation meet record, and was also presented with medals for taking first in the shot put, high hurdles and discus, second in the low hurdles and
a "one man team" for Central and usually scores over half of the total points made by the rest of his team mates. Hardy of the Catholic high school won fourth place for his school by taking firsts in the 50 and 100 yard dashes and tying for third in the 220 yard dash.

depart, and the coach refused. The umbrella then lifted the game to Misha's side.
In a short time he asked Sherwin if his men were ready to take the field and supposing the argument was over the Kansas men trotted out. He said a couple of hits and gathered in a run. Missouri picked two in the sixth.
In the opening half of the seventh Kansas put two men on. Wilson then lined a ball over the fence for a home run. The umpire refused to see it that way however and motioned Wilson back to the bat. That was all. He made a run on the ball, but the Missourians had already started for the club house and the umps announced that the game was lost before it had been started.
The score for the seven sessions:
Kansas. . . . . . 100 000 0 - 1 4 1
Missouri. . . . . . 000 102 * - 3 4 1

THE GAME FRIDAY
The game Friday was a pitcher's battle with Walker of Kansas and Angerer of Missouri performing in great style. Missouri got away in the first inning with two runs and picked up one more in each of the third, fourth, and fifth. Kansas scores came in the fifth and ninth. The game was marred by poor umpiring and several protests were made. Kansas suffered most, having incurred the official's wrath by protesting a decision in the first inning when Hall of Missouri slid into first base. The feature of the game was a home run by Holmrick of Missouri.
