day afternoon, by 46 points over the
Junior class with total of 30. The
Freshman came next, with IS, while
| the Sophomore class was unable IN
tally, except in the relay race with
1905. but unfortunately for 1904 these
points We're not counted in the race
for class championship.
1t was more of Il dual meet between
the Senior and Junior classes than
anything else. but, nevertheless. there
was plenty of excitement and close
competition in the different events to
make it interesting for the spectators.
Manager Hichborn saw that the games
were run off in prompt manner with
no long waits such as usually charac-
terize meets of this kind and this
feature was well appreciated.
Charles KinSman was the individual
star for the afternoon and completely
covered himself with glory, winning
80 points for his class and taking first
place in six events. His sprinting in
the 100 yards dash was commendable.
as the time in this event ranked close

Craig and Johnson We're valuable
factors for the Senior class in point
getting. Craig was strong in the
sprints. while johnson had plenty of
wind and came in for his share of
honors in the long distances and jumps.

ing lightened the discus, materially.
succeeded in putting it out 50 feet, 5
inches. Right here it may be well to
throw 4 few bouquets at BarroWs
This year is his first experience in
this line and he showed remarkable
form and ability. He could easily have
put his adVersaries out of the business
as he cleared everything in sight. He
was not, however, pushed for first
place, and I feet, 4 inches was a GUS
tard for him. Coombs was active in
this event and took care of second
place all right.
One of the most exciting and soul
inspiring events of the afternoon was
the 80 yards dash exhibition put on
by the track officials for the amuse-
ment of the visitors. Three colleges
were represented in this event, San
born of Tufts, McFadden of Colby,
while Maine claimed a majority with
flynt and BarroWs. Barrows' official
capacity interferred with the start and
the race was between the other
messers. McFadden was bad in start
ing. but soon dug into the front rank
and overhauled Sanborn and Flynt and
then to the establishment of the crowd
crossed the ribbon with ground to
spare. Il was a wonderful feat, but
il was apparent to all that Willard
had lost none Of his old time fleet
ness which he possessed when he
scratched CinderS on the Colby oval.
Although no school records were
broken and owing to lack of hard train
ing, the time in many of the events
was not fast, nevertheless, the meet
can be reckoned as most successful
and establishes worthy precedent
for the classes to follow during the en-
suing years. Last year. no meet was
held and it is especially hard TO arouse
an active interest in track athletics
after one years laXness in this di-
rection, The efforts and success of
the meet are due in a large measure
to the efforts of Manager Hichborn. |
