of Contest
Oxv q7. Whittier %

Occidental college had no trouble in
defeating the track team of Whittier
college yesterday afternoon on the Oc-
cidental field, winning out by the total
score of 81 to 29. This score is not
nearly so large as those rolled up by
the other colleges against the Quak-
ers but several of the Presbyterians'
best men were absent and this in some
way accounts for the difference.
But small crowd was present, on
account of two other big meets held III
this vicinity, where Stanford and
Berkeley competed. The track was
very fast and looked good for records,
but the competition the Quakers gave
was too weak to make the Occidental
athletes do their best in many of the
events.
Whittier was able to gather in but
three first places, thes6 being taken by
Captain White in the two-mile, by Mills
in the mile, and by big Renheker
in the hammer throw.
The two-mile was the best race OF
the day, and White won in the fast
time of 10 minutes 46 3-5 seconds. HE
took the lead at the start of the race
and was never headed, although Mont
gcmery OF Occidental let out sprint
at the finish that almost made him the
winner. Gobar, OccidentaPs best man
in both of the distance runs, was not
able to- contest and thus lost several
sure points for his team mates.
Fred Thomson again got the lions
share of the points with a total of 2S1s
points to his credit, including five first
places. In the shot put he again broke
the Occidental college record with a
put of AZ feet ga inches, and in the
discus throw, which was conceded 70
Renneker of Whittier, he defeated the
latter by several feet. However, Rem
neker was able to annex first place IN
the hammer throw, after Thomson mao
stepped out of the ring in several at
tempts at the double turn.
Mills. who was expected to win the
half from Bonner of Occidental failed
to display any of the form that ne
showed last year, and was beaten by
about ten yards by Bonner in the SLOW
time of 2:06 AS.
In five of the events on the program
the Highlanders shut out Whittier
without a point although the Quakers
had several men entered in each event
Renneker. who was doped to set al
least second place in the high hurdles
for Whittier, fell down while going
over the last hurdle and was defeated
by Lowry.
