''U' ATHLETES FAST
Good Time Made at Saturdays Meet
on Northrop Field.
THREE DARK HORSES SHOW UP
Unexpected Strength Is Developed
in the sprints, Long Runs
4 and Jumps.

< In spite Of most unfavorable weather
conditions, the varsity track athletes
made excellent records at the annual
games on Northrop field Saturday after
noon, and the prospects for winning the
Iowa and Wisconsin dual meets are brigh-
er now than ever before this season.
Pierce, Crossette and Haroidson, sur
sPrlsed the rooters by their splendid PER
~formances, which indicate that the team
Will be strong in several events which had
hitherto been considered doubtful. Pierce
ran away from good fields of starters in
the 100 and 220 yard dashes, winning in
remarkably good time, considering the
condition of the track and weather. In
the 100-yard dash he defeated both Book
man, the champion, and Varco the speedy
sophomore. ~ >.
Haroldson had easy victories in both
the mile and two-mile runs, and although
his time was not exceptionally fast, he
appears able to cut many seconds off his
record OF Saturday before the close of the
season.
Crossette, entering the broad jump
without training, surprised everyone by
clearing p feet 2A inches. Rockman,
as had been expected. had an easy vic
tory in the hurdles, and in the 100 event
-equalled the western intercollegiate rec
ord of Is 40 seconds. O'Brien, who had
been counted on to Push Bockman in both
these races, met with two mishaps and
failed to secure a place. He will I'M
doubtedly, however, be selected as second
string for the hurdles in the coming dual
meets, and should make a good showing
before the close of the season.
