Track Meet.
SENIORS CAPTURE FIFTY POINTS
Make This Score Out of Possible
Hundred Twenty-TwO-Fresh
men Follow in Second
Place.

The senior class of 1910 led the under
classmen by margin of Is points In the
annual class track athletic meet held by
high school students Friday. Out of pos
sible 122 points the senior athletes took 50
points, the juniors 80 points, the freshmen
80 and the sophomores 9. This score al
lows the senior class to keep the silver
trophy, which they won last year. for an
other year.
In individual competition John Rayley Of
the senior class and Robert Wood of the
freshmen are so far judged to be equal
in number Of points. According to the
rules under which the meet is held the
competitor who attains the greatest num-
Der of credits shall be awarded the gold
trophy medal for that year and the one
who is in second place shall have the silver
trophy medal. Several events in which the
number of credits was not made clear VIII
be decided later, thus placing the medals
with these two boys.
The Omaha High, school record for the
20-yard dash was broken and the record
for the 1OO-yard was tied in this meet, but
Coach earns stated that these records
would not stand as high school records
because the wind was behind the boys as
they ran. Under the rules of the High
School association to which Omaha be-
longs, records made with wind behind the
runners do not stand as such Both the
records made, however, were by Robert
Wood, a sophomore. The 22O-yard dash
was made in 22b seconds and the 1OO-yard
dash in 1915 seconds.
None of the events was very closely con-
tested for first place except the half-mile
in which Kulakofsky and Fraser, both
seniors ran neck and neck until the fin
ishing post was almost reached, when Ku-
lakofsky was able to gain a little on his
! opponent. In the mile run, Hudson led
the pace for third place until the last
100 yards, when Ludwig overlook him and
landed in third place.
One reason the seniors came out so wei
in the race was that they took almost al
the points in the weight events. Coacf
earns was a little disappointed in the show
| ing made by the boys in the jumps and
! the pole vault, but was more than pleased
| by the results OF the races and says HI
expects Omaha to come out well In thu
! state meet to be held on May at Lincoln
