ALPHA DELTA PHI
WON TRACK MEET
Spirited Contests Result from the
. Inter fraternity Games on
Northrop Field.

Alpha Delta Phi won first honors in tue inter-
track meet at Northrop field yesterday,
altho one event, the 22O-yard dash, must be run
over on account of a bad start. Should Robert
son, the Alpha Delt sprinter, fail to win first
place in this race, the results of the meet may
be changed. Counting first place five points,
second three points and third one point, with
fourteen out of fifteen events decided, Alpha
Delta Phi is in the lead with 35 points. Beta
Theta ri is second with SO points and Delta Up
silon third with 20. The meet was under the
direction of DIR. H. l.. Williams director Of ath-
letics at the university. .'
Robertson, who is of the quar- ter-milers
on the university track team, won three first
places for Alpha Delta Phi, and ran the
winning relay team. He defeated Fred Hunter.
Delta Kappa Epsilon. in the 1O0-yard dash, much
to the surprise of the spectators Hunter is
one of the fastest men in the university and in
former races has won from Robertson.
In the half mile and mile runs,
Van Van Metre Beta Theta P showed
that he will be heard from in the intercollegiate
relay cornwall next week. He refused to take
first place from his fraternity brother Henderson
in the mile run, and the two men finished even.
Henry OBrien and Jim Kraemer of football
fame donned track uniforms and won points in
about every event they entered, O'Brien WIN
ming ten points for his fraternity, Delta Epsilon,
and Kraemer twelve for Alpha Tau Omega.
The 2O-yard dash which will be run over was
won by Robertson and NIcRae, both Alpha Delts
who gave the spectators another exhibition Of
brotherly love by finishing even. McRae, how
ever had jumped the gun and the judges de-
cfded that the race should be run over.
Altho ihe. races were close and exciting the
held events were rather slow, as the winners re-
fused to go after any Of the university records
and were satisfied with first places. 1t is gen
orally conceded that Alpha Delta Phi will win
the postponed 220-yard dash and be awarded first
place in the meet but should Delta Epsilon sue
coed in winning second and third places in the
race Beta Theta Pi will be tied for second
place. ....
The three banners made by the different sorori-
ties at the university for the three fraternities
finishing in the first three places will be present.
