WAKE FOREST, n. c., April o.
The Field Day exercises of the college
athletic association held here to-day
were quite successful Notwithstanding
the weather. Prof. Sykes says that
another will be held next year. To-
day the track was in fair condition,
but slightly heavy from the rain. Most
of the morning records were higher
than the State collegiate records. In
the pole vault Justice would un-
doubtedly have gone much higher
had the pole been of regu-
lation length (12 feet) it being
only 10 feet long. Only two men
were entered for the hop-step-jump
race, both named Will Jones. The
running high jump was very fine; the
Lehigh record is 5 feet, inches. The
hammer used in throwing was p
heavier than the regulation. The long.
drop kick was omitted on account of
the weather, as were several other
events; these will be completed to-mor-
row. The following are the winners:
100 yards dash, E. r. Tull, time
