leRe Prove Their Superiority
Over all Others.
Friday was not a particularly fire
day for the college athletes to work
off startling stunts on the cinder
path or in yaultine, but il was
necessary that the events be finished
that day. In the early morning
hou1s it rained a half inch and the
track was quite soggy, while the
ground where the weights and the
waiting was to be done was soft and
spongy. The officers of the associa-
tiun decreed, however, that the
sport must be finished and the
athletes got to work along about 9
O'Clock. The sun came out for an
hour later in the afternoon, and then
about 5 O'Clock a shower of rain
came along and stopped the proceed
ings which were again taken up
after 4 mad subsidized. 1t was under
such conditions that the meet was
finished.
The events were oficered by j. B.
Modisette, as referee and starter and
r. NJ. Dott as judge, both Of whom
reside in Sioux City. Their decisions
Were rendered fairly and there was
little or no objections to their work.
1T was I O'Clock when the last
event, the relay race, vas pulled Off.
The championship banner was
awarded to the Bookings college
team, with SO points, While Ver-
million was second with 40, Huron
third with 10, Mitchell fourth with
ls, Yankton fifth with g and Red
felt failed to gather any points
whatever iu the meet.
There was but one record broken
during the meet and that was by
Nordgren, Of Vermillion, who vent
against the pole vault record, which
he made better by n Inch, going
over the bar at 10 feet So inches.
The next meeting will be held at
Huron in 1909. Fred r. Smith and

ment OF the meet and they said that
they would have beon able to have
