WILLAMETTE
Wins Beautiful Pennant
Y. M. C, A. Second; Chemawa
Third mo Records Broken,
eautiful Pennant


at the state fair grounds Saturday
with the exception of the crowd.
The track was in very poor condi
ton being quite slow while brisk
northeast wind discouraged any effort
to establish a new record in either of
the events. AS a result no record was
broken but some very good time was
made.
The Chemawa delegation possessed
considerable enthusiasm and never
failed to manifest the same when an
opportunity was offered them. While
the Chemawa team did not make a
very large score it must be remem-
bered that it was their first experience
and whatever they did accomplish
was effected, without the services of a
coach or other experienced athlete.
The Y. M. G. A. teams performance
rather disappointed great many
who felt confident that the pennant
would be theirs but their sprinters
we're not swift enough. The associa
tion had entries in each event and
made a good honest struggle for first
place, but the odds were against them.
The many friends of "Old william
cite" were very agreeably surprised
with the success that attended the
athletic team from that educational
institution. With Garland in the
mile walk; Williams, Morris, Brown
and Livesay in the sprinting events;
Bonham and LiYesay in the broad
jump; Willamette may make very
good showing at the intercollegiate
games on Saturday, June 5.
Some dissatisfaction was expressed
as result of the decision Of the
judges in awarding the $50 yard run
to Brown of w. o., bu6 the decision
is generally thought to have been a
fair one.
The management Of Saturdays con-
tests is to be congratulated upon the
and smoothness with
which everything passed off. Consid-
erable confusion and delay was avoided
by previously assigning the members
Of the teams their position 'in each
event.
