Somehow the general public does
not take the intense interest in field
and track sports that it does the other
leading forms of undergraduate
athletic activity, baseball and football
and especially in the latter. Last fall
in the final football game of the
championship series there were 1000
a solid wall around Whittier field when
Howdoin clinchcd the championship
by defeating U. of NJ "a to 5. Last
saturday, when Bowdoin won the field
and track championship of the State
on the same field there were from 1900
to 1900 spectators present and that was
the largest crowd which ever witnessed
such meet in Maine. 1t was a
perfect spring day and the contests
we're closely fought and most exciting.
-Four STATE records were broken during
the afternoon. Two bands were in at
tendance and the student bodies of the
different colleges were massed to-
gethcr as at the football game, che er-
ing and singing, filled with the eX-
hileratins JOY Of victory or deep in the
gloom of defeat. But the outside
world was very SHINY represented
Where the alumni came back in hum
dreds and hundreds at the November
football game they came in scores and
dozens to the May field day. The
students themselves were not at the
football pitch of eagerness. anxiety and
excitement and the celebration of the
victory was far less elaborate and
'hn far ttn
ence does not lie wholly in the fact
that Bowdoin's victory at the track
meet was generally expected in
advance. Perhaps one reason is that
the field cay sports are confined to one
day. while in football there is series
Of games through two months. leading
up to climax, and with a lot of ac-
companying newspaper publicity. But
the chief reason doubtless is that foot
ball has the elements of war in it. 1t
Is a spectacular battle that appeals to
the red blood. And yet field and track
sports deserve as great popularity in
the college world and elsewhere as
should be given to any branch of
athletics 1t is an absolutely clean
branch of sports where every man
wins or loses upon his own merits.
Longer and more patient preliminary
training is required to excel than in
football. When a boy wins the two
mile run in record breaking time it is
more than an exhibition of grit and
pluck and college spirit Back of it
are months and months of cross
country running, up hill and down,
through dust and mud and snow. and
OF plodding around the track on

it is of incalculable consequence to the
man himself that he should keep sober
