Colleges.


Brunswick, June 2.-The Maine Inter-
collegiate athletic meet which took place
here today resulted, as usual, in an
overwhelming victory for Bowdoin, who
won more than twice as many points as
all the other contesting colleges put
together. Bowdoin won in all e2 1-o
points. Bates, Colby and University Of
Maine, together won 4e 1-e points. Col
by gained second place in the meet,
winning IL points; Bates came third
with 13 points and University Of Maine
fourth with ~ 1-e points. Bowdoin
won II first places and II second places.
She scored in each one of the 10 events,
and in no event did she gain less than
three points.
The track was in very good condition,
but the weather was very unfavorable
Several showers occurred during the
course of the afternoon, and twice the
evennts had 10 be stopped for awhile.
Nevertheless, in spite OF the bad wealth
er, records Were broken in five events.
The record In the half mile run was
lowered from 2.06 3-5 to 2.05 as, by Nut
ter OF Bowdoin, 1908. Nutter has been
doing great work ON the track this
year, and is likely to do better next year.
In the 40 yards run, Snow, Bowdoin's 3
cfuck Quufttf- lOWtFtQ t0e ftcDfu
from So "a to 90 10. Wheeler Of Bow
doin broke the record in the mile, which,
! at the finish, was the prettiest race OF
the meet. Moody of Colby was ahead of
Wheeler up to within yard of the
finish. Wheeler. however, at the end,
mus tered up his pluck, made one great
fort, and broke the twine about q
inches ahead Of Moody. 1t was a fore
gone conclusion that Bobby" Edwards
captain OF the Bowtoin team, would
win the low hurdle race; but it was a
great sSI,rprse to everyone Il to see him
onds down to 20 40. Edwards also won
second in the 100 yard dash and third in
the broad jump. Dunlap OF Bowdoin
won second In the discus throw, second
in the pole vault, and then beat the
record in throwing the hammer.
The centre OF all eyes during the meet
ing was Bowdoin's giant world -beatsr,
Cloudman, who easily won the 100 yard
dash, the go yard dash, and got second
in the broad jump. Cloudman did not
break any records today, but he already
holds the records in the events in which
he was entered. He has but recently
returned from the Worcester and
Mott. Haven games where he won fame
for himself and his college. He holds
the New England records In the 100 yards
broad jump. His record for the 100 yard
dash, made last year at Wateryille, Is
0 40 seconds, which equals the worlds
record. Cloudman Is undoubtedly the
greatest athletic hero in New England.
Moody of Colby ran pretty race in
could come anywhere near him. At
one time he was almost one lap ahead
Of the others in the race. Unfortunately,
through some umistake OF the judges,
Moody ran nine laps instead Of the
eight laps me Necessary si to m, make two
But for this unfortunate accident he
would surely have beaten the state rec
ord.
