after the meet was scheduled TO begin.

ming l61I points. OF these, ID were
due TO 6rst places in the 100, 220 and
$40 yard dashes. Each Of these events
was made in time surprising or nearly
equalIDg State records. A strong wind
was blowing down the course, and this
was, of course, more or less responsible
for the record breaking Nevertheless,
Brlnton won handily in each event His
superiority stands beyond question.
Boulder took the long distance runs
without difficulty, At no time were
the winners hard pressed, and each
advance of the next man. Hamilton
of Colorado proved TO be too strong a
man IN The hurdles, winning easily in
the 120-yard and being only slightly
pressed in the 220.yard hurdles. He
won ten points for his school
