STATE COLLEGE TRACK TEAM
WINS FROM SIOUX CITY
ATHLETES
LAST EVENT DECIDES THE MEET
Meet Is One of the Closest and Most
Exciting Ever Held in This City.
Points Stand 60 to 81.

The State College track team wor
a close and exciting meet from Morn
ingside college of Sioux City, at the
college park Monday afternoon. The
score was 60 to 81, the last event on
the program, the relay, deciding the
meet. The meet was a see-Saw affair
all through and kept the interest OF
the large crowd keyed up to a high
pitch.
The meet was originally scheduled
for Saturday, but on account Of the
heavy rains the track vas in poor con
dition, making it necessary to post
pone the event until Monday. The
M~orningside boys had some little diff
ticulty in reaching here on account of
the washouts, and the entire squad
walked in from Aurora.
Good time was made in most of the
races and the meet as a whole was a
good one. Coach Temple evidently
has his squad going in good shape and
encourage the boys to greater deeds.
Mcrningside also has a good team,
and Brookings may well be proud of
their victory. The Sioux City team
meets Vermillion next Monday, and
we can then get some line on the
strength of the state university this
year.
Frank Knox ran the hundred yard
dash in 9 and 4-5 seconds, but he was
favored by a wind at his back. How
e. YER, he had to travel some to make
this time, even with the aid of the
breeze, and he is undoubtedly the
fastest man the college has had in the
sprints in several years. Frank was
also the big point winner Of the after
noon, taking three firsts and being a
member of the winning relay team.
