and was defeated by the close score of

crippled condition, the base ball trip
taking Kearns and Mohr from the college
team. The most exciting part of the
meet was the sprinting OF Wallace and
Racely. The former won the shorter
sprints by not more than six inches mar
gin, while the latter won the longer races
by no greater distance. Curtis, Primrose

showed up in fine form in the shot put
and hammer throw. Wallace for the

easily the star. The meet, while 1t as
sumed greater proportions, was at the
outset expected to be little more than
practice for both Sides but the equally
matched teams caused enthusiasm to run
