Yes the farmers" or "hayseeds' =

pany of young athletes any college
might well feel proud Of. The large
delegation that accompanied the team
70 Salem was an enthusiastic one and
urged their team % TO success.
Willamette university stands at the
foot Of the class but she may possibly
yet reach the head u the class. As it
is 10 one was disappointed 10 the
showing made 1y the local team Sat
urday. Their expectations Of accom-
plishing anything we're not very great.
Had the Eugene team a few more
such men as Kuykendall, the cup
would undoubtedly remain in its
possession for another year. Kuyken-
dali took first place in three events

Nelson, Of Pacific college, did some
very creditable work in the hurdle
races, taking second place in each.
1t is remarkable the faculty Pacific
college has for developing pole vault
