The Events as They Are Sum
msnzed on the Score Card.


were not the most exciting events that
ever occurred in Salem, but on the whole
the day was fairly lively one The
threatening weather doubtless kept
many away though in reality il was
much better than the roasting heat
which may usually be expected at this
time Of year.
The track was not in shape for the
development Of great speed in the
track events, and strong north
wind, was a heavy deterrent in the
longer running and walking races.
The University Of Oregon easily car
ried off the honors. running up Il score
Of 80 points against IL each for o. A.
G. and r. c., and III for W. Y.
The attendance was small, probably
not much over 800 at the largest. Con-
siderable enthusiasm was shown on be-
half Of old Willamette, and the south
ern end Of the pavilion occupied by the
Willamette contingent was decorated
with banner and the college colors.
The other institutions were not at all
noisy.
There was considerable delay in start
ing, il being nearly 3 O'Clock when the
first event was pulled off, and it was
after q when the end was reached.
Although the time made was not fast
the races were hotly contested, aud
probably as exciting ~ though they had
smashed all the records.
Garland, Of w. H., made the mile
walk notable one. He dragged along
behind for the first half mile and was
far in the rear at the three quarter post.
Then hc commenced 30 overhaul and
pass the others, and down the home
stretch made magnificent squirt,
which came with six inches Of winning
first place. Had the tape been ten feet
farther ahead he would have reached
first.
One Of the most brilliant perform
ances ever seen on any track was that Of
Russell in the 220 yard dash. Starting
ON the extreme outside he dropped be-
hind and took diagonal course across
10 the inside Of the track passed the
innermost man and took the lead which
he held to the finish.
The pole vaulting also showed some
very pretty work Heater, +. c. vaulted
with lightness, ease and precision,
which made IL seem that only his own
will limited the height attained He
raised the Northwestern record an inch.
