ing over the hills from the northwest
dawned for the third annual field day
of,the Morristown School last Friday.
The oval, grounds and buildings
presented gala appearance.

pended by "a rope which had been
stretched across, futtered many large
college flags, including the orange
and black of 'Old Nassau" Colum-
bias pale blue and white, Harvard's
crimson while the clear blue sky
smiled at it's reflection in the PEN
nant of "Old Eli;" but attached to
the large dome on the center of the
main building sold Glory" waved in
triumph over all. The contests were
started at $50 before which time
some thirty-five bronzed, broad
shouldered athletes and sturdy young
sters attired in bath robes logged
around the oval. All the dashes
were close and exciting, Max Behr
capturing the 100 yard in 10 4-5
seconds and Bradford Weeks, the 800
yard in 23 1-5 seconds. One of the
