margin of twelve points, the final score

to have a number Of dark horses in their
stable, however. and the result, in so far
as 1t gave an Indication OF material for
the, varsity track team, was distinctly en-
couraging. - :
The biggest surprise was Varco, who
ran away from good field in the 1oo-yard
dash. winning in 10 So seconds, defeating
Boeckman, himself sprinter OF some
reputation. Considering the condition of
the track, the: weather, and the time OF.

in both the hurdle races, winning in fair
time, although he was never forced to
really extend himself. With q couple of
years varsity experience he promises to
be as great star as Bockman.

pace all the way round He maintained
the slight advantage he had at the start
