Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 120, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 21 May 1915 — TRACK MEET WITH BROOK TOMORROW [ARTICLE]

TRACK MEET WITH BROOK TOMORROW

Ball Park to Be Scene of Events That Will Mark Close of Athletic Season in Rensselaer. Brook and Rensselaer high schools will meet here tomorrow afternoon, May 22nd, in a track meet that will be the last athletic event for the season. St. Joe was to have been in the meet, thus making it a triangular event, but no interest could be created out there and it became necessary to cancel the meet so far as they were concerned. Baseball holds the popular attention at the college, there being in all 22 teams there. Tuesday Superintendent Dean and Principal Sharp made a trip to Brook to arrange for the meet and the arrangements were not concluded. In fact, they were not definitely arranged until this noon when Brook called up and said they would be on hand. The brief amount of advertising will probably reduce the crowd some, but the track events are all very interesting to watch and it will be worth seeing. There will be running, vaulting, high and broad jumps, hurdles, relays, shot puts, etc., and Rensselaer hopes to prove its superiority over its neighbor. The event is scheduled to start at 1:15.
