w. w. StahI, Athletic Manager of
Washburn, Who Organized the
Big Track Meet.

The meet on the whole was a sue
ces>ful one. Last season the meet was
won in almost a walk by Manhattan
while the College of Emporia was the
only school to come anywhere near
giving Manhattan fight. This year
all the schools had good teams in the
meet as is evidenced by the fact that
but fifteen and a half points separate
the winners from the tailenders. The
| meet was so close that it took the
closing events to decided the different
places of the teams.
The total number of points secured
by each team was: Paramount, IS;
Normal. 81 Y; Aesies, 80; College of
Emporia, IS: st. Mary's, 81, and
Washburn, 121a.
There were in all 165 points Each
event counted for II points, first place
counted points; second, 8 points;
| third place. 2 points; and fourth place,
1 point. There were 1 5 events.
Several of the standing records of
the association, which are the official
records of the state were broken yes
terday. These records are the stand
ard records for all athletic events in
the state and to hold one of the rec
ords is an honor which is much sought
for among the college athletes. Ross
of the Aggies raised the record for
feet inches. MARBLE of the College
of Emporia increased his own record
of putting the shot from SO feet to
1855 feet. Curl of the College of
mile run from 4:46 to 4:45 rs. A.
Softer of Paramount college tore a
fifth of a second off the time for the
220 yard hurdles, making the distance
in II seconds. Young of the Aggies in
the high jump leaped the bar several
inches higher than has ever been
done before, raising the record of last
year from feet x inches to feet
new record of 1857 feet in the dis
Gus throw. The other records which
were made yesterday were much
slower than last year.
