nasty tumble near the finish. He had
Il good lead and would doubtless have
won out but for his mishap. lie was
badly shaken up by his fall but was
able to go into the running high jump
later.
The half-mile run was taken by Toll
man very handily and it was a good
race. In the tWo-miles run Arey had
things all his own way for a time, gain
ing nearly a lap on the field. cramp
knocked him out, however, and he had
to drop out before the finish Morse,
Stewart and ToWne were the only ones
to finish and fought hard at the tape.
An unfortunate thing happened in this
race and may have robbed Stewart Of
first place. He was rather the faVorite
and ran strongly the whole distance.
The three men were we'll punched at
the finish. Stewart and Morse being just
about neck and neck few yards from
the line.
Cotton, 'Oj. in trying to urge on his
classmate, Morse, got too near the
track, stumbled and was jostIed by the
crowd. so that he interfered with Stew
art. This put the runner out of his
stride and he had to gather himself
anew for the finish and lost. The race
might have gone to Morse anyhow. but
this accident left it in doubt.
In a practice throw Cowing put the
shot So feet, ~ inches, but this could
not be counted. as he had had his reg

Not much intercollegiate material

! seems to be that Colby will have moth

Keene might be dangerous with the

| to practice but the base ban practice
| takes most of his attention. Halves is
good for the running broad jump and
