WINS THE CUP
STATE UNIVERSITY TAKES THE
STATE MEET
BROOkINGS TAKES c o
LOCAL TEAM DEFEATED FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN NINE VARS.

The State college track team went
down to defeat at the state athletic
meet at Huron Thursday and Friday
for the first time In nine years. Tie
state university took the meet in easy
ashton, the points being divided up
as follows: Vermillion, SO; Bookings.
rs; Mitchell, IS; Yankton, 6. Red
field, Huron and Sioux Falls failed to
score.
The meet was a fast one. five state
records being broken and the time
in every event being good. Three
OF the new state records were hung
UP by Vermillion men, one by Mitch
ell and one by Bookings. Huntimer
OF ~Brookings ran the mile in four
minutes and thirty-seven seconds,
beating by four seconds the former
record which was held by Mac Hayter.
the old Brookings star.
Bookings defeat was expected at
home and the students and towns
people are inclined to regard the mat
ter philosophically. We have won
for nine straight years and have Sc
cured permanent possession of three
championship cups, which should be
honors enough for n college. We
could not hope to win indefinitely and
without doubt this defeat will have
a good effect, in that it will awaken
the college to the fact that only eter-
nal hustling can secure winning teams.
We do not wish to criticise any
particular person. but we do believe
that the athletic policy of the college
is sadly out of date. Other schools
in the state, particularly Vermillion,
make strenuous efforts to corral
every good high school athlete, while
Bookings efforts, if any were ever
made, have not been very successful
to say the least. Winning athletic
teams are the best advertisement a
college a have, for the average boy,
or girl, loves a winner and is going
to show a preference for the school
with the best football, track and
baseball teams.
By winning nine straight years
Brookings has made a record that has
never been equalled and probably will
not be, in northwestern athletics. The
c~,llopo'c host taanc Uoro In 1o01 1Q0o
1908 and 1904 when they swept every
thing before them in this and sur
rounding states. In those years they
had such stars as Hayter, Seeger,
Port, Hoard, Shaw, Collier, Binford,
Mathews and Johnson, many Of whose
records stand today.
