At the Northern Montana track meet at Great Falls last Saturday the boys representing the Teton high school won third place, hav ing scored fourteen points. Great Falls was first and Helena second. Havre, Lewistown and Belt follow ed Teton in the ( rder named. The points credited to Teton were scored by Denzel McDonald, who won first in the broad jump, and tied for first place in the high jump. Chester Trescott was sec ond in the shot put and third in hammer throw and discus hurl. Teton was third in the relay race. They had no entries in a number of the events. Considering the fact that the boys have had prac tically no coaching during the spring months, and but very little practice, they certainly have made a very creditable showing.
