could not have done but for this acct

A Minnesota state record was es-
tablished in the halfmile, which was
run in ABB 10; and the two-mile IN
1914 2-5.
The Minneapolis Journal in it's write
up inclines to the belief that Hamline
should have won, but the fact OF the
matter is that Hamline was very lucky
to get as many points as they did. The
Journal says:
with the weather ideal and before
a large crowd Hamline yesterday lost
the tri-state championship to Brook
ings by one point and that on ac-
count of the rank showing of the dis
Gus men and broad jumpers who have
not trained consistently. Hamline
demonstrated her prowess in every
track event. Three state records
were hopelessly shattered and n
Hamline record, the shot-put. Bliss,
the wiry distance man, showed him
self equal to anything in the country
when he sprinted home on the half
mile run in 1859 is, and the mile in
4:33 Is. He ran a pretty race, and
had his opponent outclassed at every
stage of the game. Sweitzer cut the
state two-mile record from 1926 to-
1914 2-5, and finished with n sprint
that took the heart out of Bacon, the
crack Brookings man.
pierce again got away with the
first place honors in points, winning
the 100-yard dash easily in the slow
time OF eleven seconds, but was given
some competition in the 220-yard dash,
when Huser, his team-mate finished
with q rush about a foot behind him.
The half-mile relay was done in the
record time of 1876, or less than TWEEN
ty-four seconds to the man, Schmidt,
who ran the first relay for Hamline,
gaining six yards on Coughlin, the
fast "aggie" man. S%choening, for
Hamline, was game all through and
carried off nine and one-quarter
points, while Bliss drew ten points In
all. For the "jack-rabbits" Coughlin
starred with ten points to his credit.
"The non-consistency of the meet
shows that Hamline would have had
a walkaway had the weight and jump
men done anything at all, and to lose
the meet by one point went down
hard. Coach Baird is confident, how
ever, of the state championship and
will pit his team against Carleton on
June / on Norton field"
