Olivet Optic May 3l.-
(Alma's account of the Dual Meet over
DRAWN
1t was our pleasure or our privilege,
we rather think the latter, for we count
it privilege TO enlighten our Alma
brethren on some points, TO read In the
ALMA RECORD an account of the dual
meet between Alma and Oliyet.
In the second place we would like TO
give them little kind advice. Ii is this,
not to let the fact that they were able to
steal football game from the aggrega-
ton of cripples, which Kalamazoo sent
up last fall, delude them into the belief
that they can show Nj. |. A. y form IN
football. BY their buster and bravado
over this game, and in trying TO force
Kalamazoo into playing another game
though kazoo had all her dates full they
made themselves a pubic nuisance and
forever destroyed the hope OF kalama-
ZOO helping them TO break into the Inter
collegiate. If there had been any call
for this last great blast of their trumpet
we would have nothing 10 say. But IN.
stead Of victory, they received virtual
defeat. The track was very
bad, the only decent path being on the
outside edge. III 100 yd. dash Randels
drew this path and won easily Evans
after falling down in the mud came on
very fast and got third. In
the hurdles Elliot who has had almost
no training, was close second. In the
200 yd. dash Evans drew a slightly bet
ter position, but was set back yard for
starting too soon. At the crack OF the
pistol he was in the bunch and ran easily
till about 90 yds. from the tape, when
with a burst of speed that would have
puzzled any of the NJ. l. A. A. sprinters
to keep even with, he pulled by the
bunch, winning easily, with 40 1t. 10
spare. In the evening we went
to the opera house confident that the
men whom Bowler had carefully coached
would be successful, but we forgot TO
reckon upon Referee Craig, who not only
seemed unable TO tell when a man was
down or the aggressor from the man ON
the defensive, but seemed afraid 10 de-
eide against Alma. In the second round
Of the light weight after Mckee, who
out-weighed Bloomfield by % lbs 'had
thrown him, "Bloomy" threw Mckee
squarly but Craig could not see 1t, and
gave the decision TO Mckee. In the
middle and heavy weight, after Bowler
had done all the aggressive work Tor SIX
rounds it was called a draw.
While the pole vault was in progress,
putting aside the hop, step and jump,
she tried to pull off the relay, but this
we refused as Andrews, who was vault
ing was to run in the relay, but we Of
fered to pull off the hop, step and jump.
They seemed TO have no valid reason for
doing this, and tried TO cover it up by
aimlessly chewing the rag r
They forgot to TO mention the fact that
they virtually forfeited the hop, step and
Jump, and the horizontal bars, and that
they can offer no good excuse for not
playing tennis. These points would
more than offset the relay.
