The annual Maritime Track and Field Championships were held yesterday afternoon at Memorial Field before a large crowd of en- thusiastic fans. The Antigonlsh Highland Society. led by tall and powerful John ”Tinlr" Kyte, walked off with top honours in the fifteen event program that was completed in less than three hours.

Kyte together with his nineteen teammates put on an outstanding show for the fans who attended the meet from an over the Mari- times. All told they won eight events while racking up seconds In ifive and thirds in a half dozen more.

one of the feature events was the six mile run in which Paul Collins, Wanderers. who was a member of Canada's British Ern- pire Games team. and my Apple- ton of the Antigcnish team staged a real thriller of a race. The lead during the race xchanged several times. Collins finally won out when he "started to sprint by Appleton halfway through the last quarter .8. Bernard, also of the winning team. was third. It was during this event that the crowd showed their enthusiasm when they spotted on the track I tiny youngster whose size belles his age. At that Gordon Gallant of shediac did right well for himself as be finished the six mile event to place fifth in a field of eight.

The winners made 9. strong show-

ing in the field events of the meet when twice they walked off with complete honours. In the pole vault and high jump their entries placed one. two and three. "Tink” Kyle came within inches of setting two new records fer the Marltimes when he thraw the Javelin 185' 556" which was an inch and a half short of the present record. He tried to make a throw that would have beaten the record but his heave was not enough. In the high jump he won the event with a leap of 6' 10" and cleared six feet in an exhibition Jump. He tried twice more to clear the six two mark and came within inches of doing so but just toppled the crossbar over both times. . The other event which brought the crowd in their feet was the last event of the meet which was the mile relay. The three teams were entered in the run. In the first quarter Deiory or the locals opened up a big lead but was overtaken by the two other runners at the tape Fancy cf the Wanderers tool: the lead at the start of the second quarter with Morrison of the win- riers second and Jay third. As they went into the last turn Morrison and Jay had overtaken Fancy with Jay finishing a head in front or Morrison. In the third quarter Cash of the locals was right with Martin of -the Wanderers at the tapeiwlth Antigonish nct too far behind. Haley . and Bob Naylor started abreast for the final quar- ter. They raced neck and neck up the back stretch but as they came down the home lane Naylor had just too much in reserve for the Halifax boy to beat him home with two feet to spare. Antigonish finished well back for third place. ' All the other events produced top notch entertainment for the fans to make the meet a huge success. Keith Fancy of the Wanderers fin- ished next to Kyte for top indiv- idual honors while the A. H. 5. team racked up 63 points to the Halifax team's 42 and the Abbics 36
