INDOOR MEETING
WAS BIC SUCCESS
Unexpected Strength Shown by
Gopher Track Men in Gym
nasium Contests.

No indoor records were broken at the
annual indoor meet yesterday in the
Minnesota armory but the spectators
were treated to a series of close and
exciting contests in which the 1906
gopher track squad showed unexpected
signs of strength. The events in both
the collegiate and the preparatory
school classes were holly contested and
althO enthusiasm was noticeably
lacking at the start the spectators in
the galleries warmed up as the events
progressed and the relay races which
completed the program were finished
amid the cheers of the onlookers.
.. Shattuck Defeated.
Probably the greatest surprise Of the
day was the defeat of the Shattuck
relay team by quintet from Mime
apolis Central high. Shattuck had been
looked upon as a sure winner in this
event and there was some doubt in the
minds Of the Central supporters whether
or not team should be entered. Stone
who ran first for Central gained mag
niicent lead over his Faribault COM
petitor and the high school lads were
never headed.
From university standpoint the best
events Of the day were the hurdle races
and the 60-yard dash altho the finish in
the half-mile run was remarkably close
and Captain Greaves only beat Bedford
out by a foot. John Dougherty, the
crack university sprinter, was unable
to compete in the events of the day and
the 60-yard dash was a close race be-
tween Shull, formerly of Hill school,
and Hawley, a California boy who
PLAYED on the freshman football team
lastsyear. Shull led at the start but
Hawley pulled the race out in the last
twenty yards and was awarded first
place. -.
Marks a Star.
Jack Marks was the star performer
at the hurdles and the big northsider
won both the high and low events. In
the low hurdles he was obliged to run
two final heats as Van Worst tied him
on the first trial. He had things his
own way in the high hurdles, however,
altho Jamison, dark horse, showed un-
expected speed, and was awarded sec
ond place against Morris, Shattuck
athlete who entered the university
event.
