PENN WINS AGAIN.
Quakers Show the 0steopaths
How to Shoot.


held with Still college Saturday and
resulted in score OF rs to 81 in favor
of the Quakers. The meet was held
on the Des Moines college track, the
Des Moines athletes acting as OH
cials. Still had a good team and
worked hard but st. Clair, their
sprinter and jumper, was in bad trim
and Penn won without any trouble
at all.
The Penn team was considerably
crippled by the loss OF Caldwell, Mil
lisack and Carter who were unable
to get away on Saturday. Bowen,
PENIS little terror got out of bed
to go, but nevertheless showed up
excellently as usual. He took the
100 yard dash without trying and to
the surprise of all Branson beat st.
Clair for second place giving points
to Penn, White was badly out of
form in the pole vault but redeemed
himself in the high jump and yard
hurdles winning fret place in both
events. Willy" Holiday played
with st. Clair on the 22O yard dash
and Branson came close third. Bar
nett and LETTERS won the mile run after
hard race. Parrish of Still seemed
sure winner but when % yards from
the tape he fell over completely ex-
hausted and was helped over the line
for third place. Wallace OF Still took
the hammer throw, shotput, and dis
Gus, Lewis coming second in the first
two events and Anderson in the
latter. The running broad jump sur
prised everybody. Hagg sprained
his ankle and was disabled on the
first trial jump and Bowen and White
were put in for Penn. st. Clair
landed out 81 feet at the first jump
and the Quakers thought they were
badly beaten. In the finals however
Bowen seemed to feel just right and
on the first Jump made 20 feet, IL
inches, on the second 81 feet, %
inches, on the third 81 feet, 6 inches,
winning first place by over inches.
The jump lacked of an inch of ty-
ing Pell's record in the state meet at
Des Moines and it is thought that
with practice Bowen can go over %
feet. Penn won the relay by over Is
yards taking the lead at the start of
the second winners. Bowen led out
tying st. Clair in fine race. Lewis
was second and gained yard lead
on his man. Branson had an easy
man but ran as though it was the
chance of life time. The way he
shot round the corners made the Still
rooters rub their eyes and stare.
Holiday finished strong, without any
competition whatever, the time being
/. SO AS.
Considerable discussion was
aroused over the bicycle races. The
track was one-fifth of a mile and
Still had written to the Penn man
sger that no bicycle races could be
run on it. Bowen and Livingstone
left their wheels at home but on ar
irving in Des Moines found that the
Still men expected to ride at the fair
grounds after the meet was over. Still
claimed all the points in both races
as forfeiture but at this the Penn
boys rebelled and the matter was
left to the referee. He decided that
Penn must ride or give up the points
but the race should be run on the one
fifth mile track. Bowen was sick
and refused to ride so Livingstone
and Anderson were put in to get the
last points, Both boys had all their
street clothes on and were mounted
on ladies wheels while the Still men
were in suits and had their usual
mounts. Livingston and Anderson
took it easy and had time to roll up
their pant legs and shirt sleeves en-
route. When it came to finish LiY-
ingston came ahead 30 fast that he
couldn't stay on the track. His wheel
took short cut into the weeds and
landed him on his face by the side of
the road.
Anderson, however finished second,
his wheel almost tapping that of
Stills man. The wheel race was a
fearful roast on Still and her own
men could not help smiling at the
outcome. In the two mile Living
ston was afraid to take hard pace
and Still got first and second. Had
Bowen been riding and the race been
on a one-half mile track Penn with
out doubt would have taken first and
second. In the mile run Barnett and
and Livingston left Fay Of Still al
most lap behind, but the starter
made a miscount and they ran six
laps instead of five, making time of
6 minutes and 2 seconds. The boys
did not know the difference and tin-
ished with squirt that was pretty to
see. They were greatly disappoint-
ed for they would have made a rec
ord had a correct time been taken.
One thing was noticeable in the
whole meet, the friendliness Of the
two teams and the total lack of
quarrelIing and high words which
spoils the best of athletics. The Still
men are gentlemen and they gave
the Penn team q warm welcome,
which could not be said Of the hosts !
at the Cedar Rapids meet.
The records made were as follows:
