TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY
WINS ATHLETIC HONORS.
(Continued)
Wrestling Bouts.
The wrestling bout was won by Wil
liams, who threw Allen of the Second
Infantry. Williams has been the
champion wrestler of the Twenty
fifth for some time. Near the end of
the fifth minute Williams three his
man. Time, four minutes and thirty
eight seconds. This gave Williams the
match and second place in the heavy
weight class. The Twenty-fifth In
fantry got two points on Williams’
work and Allen gave the Second In
fantry one point.
Great Marathon Finish.
With the close of the wrestling
bouts were heard that the Marathon
runners were approaching the field.
Some one had brought word out by
automobile a little while earlier that
the runners had passed Ford street
and that the Twenty-fifth Infantry
had a long lead.
The information that the Twenty
fifth Infantry was in the lead proved
to be correct. The runners had left
Schofield Bararcks at nine minutes af
ter eight. The Twenty-fifth runner
on the last stretch of the relay broke
the tape two hours, eighteen minutes
fifty-eight and four-fifth seconds
after the start from Schofield Bar
racks.
With the arrival of each runner the
crowd broke into uproarious applause.
All the way on the run the relay man
had been cheered by passers by.
The Twenty-fifth winners were Mr
Neal, Watts, Alexander, Armstead,
Scott, Wimp, Webster and Zeno.
The Twenty-fifth in the marathon
won twelve points and $32.00 cash
prizes for first place.
One Mile Relay.
One of the finest exhibitions of vir
ile manhood was that displayed by the
racers in the one mile relay. The
Twenty-fifth as in previous speed
contests, came to the front in this
further exhibition of their prowess as
runners. They took the lead on the
very first lap and maintained that
lead to the very end. On the last lap,
Gilbert, the nine and three-fifth sec
onds man, raced in for the Twenty
fifth. There was between twenty and
thirty yards distance between Gilbert
and the nearest man to him. The
other teams ran rather close together
by the First Infantry at the close of
the race was several feet ahead of its
nearest competitor.
The Second Infantry and the Coast
Defense had a hard fight for third
place. For about the first five fur
longs the Coast Defense w'as running
third but in the sixth furlong a speedy
Second Infantryman forced him into
fourth place and there the Coast De
fense team remained.
The Twenty-fifth w'on eight points,
the First Infantry five, the Second In
fantry' three and the Coast Defense
one point.
The Twenty-fifth Infantry team
were Wyche, Stephenson, Savage, An
derson, Russell (of Omaha), Woods,
Simmons and Gilbert.
Wall Scaling Contest.
The closing event of the 1916 Carni
val Military Athletic Meet was the
w'all scaling contest between teams
from the First Infantry, Second In
fantry, Twenty-fifth Infantry and
Coast Defense. The first team to go
over the wall was the Second In
fantry team which made the time of
ten and one-fifth seconds. The next
team was that from the Tw'enty-fifth
Infantry, their time being one second
slower than the Second Infantry.
Twenty-fifth was given four points
and $12. Fourth place brought the
Coast Defense two points.
The Twenty-fifth Infantry team
were Saunders, Kelley, Monteamery,
Williams, Hansis, Whitney, Dorsey,
(of Omaha), and Patterson.
FORTY YEARS A TEACHER.
Kansas City, Mo., March 24.—An
uninterrupted career of forty years
as a teacher in the schools of Kan
sas City was ended last Saturday
night by the death of R. W. Foster,
principal of Wendell Phillips School.
He lived at 1215 Paseo. Mr. Foster,
who was one of the first Negro edu
cators in this section, came here from
Columbia, Tenn., in 1875, and taught
eight years in the Westport schools.
He then became an instructor in the
Lincoln School, and in 1886 became
principal of the Douglass School. He
held that position twenty-six years,
and in 1912 was made principal of
Wendell Phillips School.
In all the forty years he did not
miss a day from his duties until the
illness of a week ago that resulted in
his death. He was 63 years old and
is survived by his wife, Mrs. Elvira
Foster, tw’o sons and three daughters.
The funeral was held at 10 o’clock
Wednesday morning in Allen Chapel.
