and Chicago. In some OF tho
track events our boys not only
equalled the big college marks,
but actually beat them.
Take, for instance, the 100 yard
dash, Young Horace Whitney
covered the distance In 10 seconds

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
To the accompaniment Of bleatlng
,rumpets, the Wild shrieks OF great

waving Of banners, and the bewitching
smiles Of pretty girls, the track team,
representing the University OF Utah,
put quietus on the dispute as to which
team has right 20 tho championship
OF this state, on Saturday afternoon,
on the L. Of u, campus The big an
nual contest between the teams named
above. was then pulled OF, and, as was
expected the L, Of U, boys proved
fuccessful,
There can be no question about their
victory, as II was well earned and hon
estly won 1t was most decisive, and
demons trated beyond the shadow of a
doubt their superiority on the field Of
athletic en1eavor At the finish Of the
relay race, when Capt Rideout shot
across the tape In the lead OF all others,
the U, OF IT, then had more points than
rll the other teams combined As an
indication Of their clean cut victory,
won six frsts and seven seconds, maxi
ing q total Of 81 points, enough to give
them the meet by a generous margin.
The winner Of each event was given 3
,ronts second points and third point.
The winner OF the relay got points,
Ind there was no second In the hurdles.
II is difficult TO pick out those to
whom chief honor belongs, but II to
any, II should go to Horace Whitney,
Fuzzy" Moore, Capt Rldeout and feet
footed Jimmy Wade. But Il must be
said that every member of the team did
all that could be expected OF them In
sprinting, the first named three stand
out prominently as the fastest in the
state, and IN long distance events, It
Is doubtful II there Is runner within
The borders Of this state who can beat
Jimmy Wade, With the exception Of
the hurdles, the Varsity boys captured
first In every running event. and also
got four seconds. These men simply
won the meet Horace Whitney ran
the fastest 100 yards ever witnessed on
the track, making the distance in ten

The man who attracted the most at
tention to the Provo athletes was
Adams. the pole vaulter and he GER
tainly has all the others beaten a coun-
try block. on his first trial he cleared
the bar at II feet and 8 inches. The
worlds record is 10 feet, and many
OF Adams friends urged him TO make an
