The Washington herald., 1911-05-21


go spectators broIIed under the sun at
College Park yesterday while the first
annual outdoor collegiate and scholastic
track meet was being held.
II was a great field day-for the ath-
letes. The spectators and officials suffer-
ed the miseries of the damned. but that
was no fault of the meet promoters.
Old Sol raised havoc. The Agricultural
band was the first to take the count.
After playing two pieces 1t was announced
that the heat expanded the instruments
to such an extent that Dixie sounded
like Marching Through Georgia" and
the band went out of business.
Prof Richardson, Under whose auspices
the affair was planned and successfully
carried out, deserves a vote of thanks.
Just how kind he was to the newspaper
men will never appear in print
The meet itself was well handled, close
finishes marked the majority of the
events and some of the marks hung up
were close to South Atlantic records.
AgRies on Top.
The Aggies easily won the college
events, while Central High School swept
everything before II in the scholastic
, frolic. Fritz Reuter- and George Hamil-
ton won as they pleased.
II was decidedly the most ambitious
athletic event ever attempted by the COL
ltge, and its pronounced success means
that future meets will be held of a more
extensive character.
1t is believed that yesterday was the
first time in history Of Maryland track
and field events that the county schools
of the State have been invited to partici-
rate in similar events and not compete
with city colleges where much attention
is given to athletics. The innovation
proved that. while the county schools are
perhaps not drilled in these matters, they
nevertheless have some fine material, and
with a little coaching could hold their
own with their city brethern.
In the intercollegiate events held this
morning. Maryland Agricultural College
scored forty-eight points to thirty-eight
scored by St. Johns College. of Annapo-
lis. Washington College scored four
points. Kemp, for the Aggies, led in in
uividual points scored, while Duckett was
close second. The former scored thir-
teen and the latter ten points.
