Stormy Journey.

Harry Hiliman's athletes from Dart

Olympic games in the I'D Regiment
Armory last night. The collegians gathered
in two frsts, second and a third, thereby
making the best showing of any single
team Incidentally, Hiiman came IN for
many consra tulations.

looking more like weight thrower than
a sprinter got away like a flash and won
by q scant foot from Rosenberger, who
came with a great burst of speed az the
