ideal for the sport as, a gentle breeze
was blowing which was enjoyed by the
spectators and appreciated by the con-
testants. For the last two years the
old custom Of holding an annual field
day has been revived. The practice
had previous to this time been discon-
tlnued for several years, and results
are most gratifying In every particular
The opening event of the day oc-
Cured at 8 a. m.i and the afternoon
performance began at 2 p. m.
In the morning several preliminary
contests were held, as there were so
many entries in several of the events.

| Considering the fact that none OF
the contestants had been in training
longer than several days, the records
made are exceptionally good. Vein
stein broke the College record for put
! ting the shot. The former record
which was held by Arthur Barker, was
81 feet inch. Weinstein's record
will probably stand for several years
and is one that may justly feel proud
OF.

the athelete scoring the highest mum.
Der of points. e. B. Follett. 1900
won 1t last year. M. R. Stone, 1901
was the successful competitor this
year. The contest between Stone ant
Weinstein was very close and exciting
and in the earlier part of the after
noon gave rise to quite great deal OF
speculation among the spectators
Several times the men tied, and 1t was
only till the last event was finished
that the contest was decided, Stone
winning by one point. Stone had 2S
points to his credit. Welnstein 2S
Other good records were: Stanley
16k; H. Brokaw. 1S; Cole. 1S; Fol.
lett, 13, and Theme, Is.
Psi Gamma Literary society was
more fortunate than her sister society
Alpha Kappa, in the honors for the
day. Psi Gamma's men scored 14(
points. Alpha Kappa's men won
points.
The pole vauhlng contest, which Fl.
nally resolved itself into struggle be
tween Stanley and Stone, was very in
teresting. The men tied, but Stone
won in the toss-up.
The attendance, 10th in the after
noon and evening, was quite generou!
and interest in the events did not fal
for an instant
Taken altogether the field day wa!
one of the most successful held at tn,
College in recent years and demon
strated very clearly that there is ex
cellent athletic material in the institu
tion.
