An accident occurred during the
mile bicycle race. Newcomb of Yer.
million, who was ahead, lost control
of his wheel and was thrown off.
Hanson Of Vermillon, who was fol-
lowing close behind fell over Newcomb
and Smith and Boyden piled on top
All four men picked themselves up
and recovered their wheels as soon as
possible. Newcomb was the first TO
mount and secured long lead before
Smith mounted. Smiths wheel was
damaged aud he could make but poor
headway. Boyden lost his bicycle sad
die but in spite OF this continued the
race, seat or no seat. Hanson was
quite badly bruised aboutthe face and
limbs and his bicycle was laid up for
repairs. 1t was wonder that all four
men were not seriously hurt. The
The judges then decided to call off
the remainder of the bicycle races,
giving Vermillion first and Brookings
second points, inasmuch as Vermil-
lion was without wheel.
This is the second victory Brookings
has won over Vermillion. Last year
our team won the meet at Vermillion
by score of SS to I40 This year the
score was SS to Sc. Vermillion no
doubt feels grateful to the college
athletes for their extreme fairness in
every way and the good will existing
between the teams was apparent to
all present. Friday evening a recep-
tion was given at G.. A. r. hall 10
honor OF the VISITORS.
