FOR THE SEVENTH T|MEI
our College Carries or the Plum at
State Field Meet
MARGIN NOT 50 GREAT AS FORMERLY
owing to Return OF University to the
Association

The track team of the South Dakota
State college of this city won the
champions ship Of the state for the
seventh consecutive year at the an
nua! track meet of The state colleges
held at Mitchell Wednesday and
Thursday Of last week. Their margin
Of points was not as great as IN former
years, due principally to the return of
the state university to the association,
but nevertheless, it was Cleancut
victory and established beyond any
doubt the leadership Of the college in
the track athletics OF the state. The
score Of the meet was as follows:
Bookings, 81; NermilIion, Il; Nit
cnell, 81 Huron .. Yankton and
Redheld colleges failed to score.
Wednesday the first day was taken
up mostly with preliminarieo and but
three finals were run off. 1T the end
OF the first day Brooking5 had clear
lead Of five points oyer Nermillion, its
nearest rival, and BrookingS men
qualified IN nearly every event.
Tne morning of Thursday hard
RAIN fel! which put the track IN bad
shape for the athletes and made good
time an impOssibility, N spite of
this the events were closely contested
and the meet was exciting all the
time. The BroOkings team was badly
handicapped by the absence OF Cough
lin and the failure Of Collier, the star
Splinter OF former years, TO show up
in fast form. Collier has done very
little work the past spring, due to a
bad ankle, and he failed to get better
than second in any of his races. Had
he been in good shape he would have
taken the three dashes and broad
Jump without any trouble, as the time
was poor. Huntimer, new man,
showed up we'll in the long distances,
and with another years experience
promises to develop into star. Sex
euer, Pritchard and Koch did we'll IN
their races, and should do much
better another year.
The track team was accompanied by
about one hundred students and
townspeOple and the college band, who
left mere on special train Wednesday
morning and returned Thursday
night. At business meeting OF the
association the Invitation OF Mitchell
to meet there again next year was
accepted.
