HURON MEET
THE STATE COLLEGE FINISHES FIFTH
Meet is Fast One, With the Best Ath-
Ietes in Northwest Competing
Rain Spells Last Afternoon

The state university team from Yer.
million won the big Northwestern con
ference meet held at Huron Friday
and Saturday, with a total of 55 points
having a lead of 20 over it's nearest
rival. The State College team made a
rather poor showing, finishing in fifth
place. The points were divided up as
follows: Vedmillion, 55; Hamline, 35;
Carleton, So; Yankton, 10; Bookings,
9; Huron, 8; Mitchell, 6; North Da'
kota University, 3h; North Dakota
Agricultural College, ". The other
teams failed to score
The victory of the down state team
was something Of a surprise, as Ham
line was "doped" out to win the meet,
but the Vermillion boys showed up
stronger than expected and were en-
titled to the laurels.
The local team finished about as
expected, as Coach Temple had but
two or three men on this years squad
who are fast enough to show in the
company they were in at Huron. The
meet brought together the fastest ath-
letes in the northwest and there would
have been several records shattered
had not a heavy rain set in on Satur-
day afternoon when most of the finals
were pulled off. The time made in
the pr~eliminaries on Friday, when the
track was good, was remarkably fast.
Knox of Brookings, "a the 220 yard
dash in 1922, but in the heavy track
the next day he was unable to dupli,
cate the mark. Anderson of Hamline,
ran the preliminary in the low hurdles
in the remarkable time of 24:4, a
mark he also did not come anywhere
near on Saturday.
The Brookings point winners were
Knox, who took second in the 220-yard
dash and Britzius who was second in
the shot put and the relay team, which
won second in that event.
About two hundred Brookings people
attended the meet. About 125 went up
on the special train on Friday morning
and this also carried the college band,
and the others went up Friday even
ing and Saturday morning.
The oratorical contest held in o
nection with the meet was won by
Poole of Vermillion. Evers, the Brook
ings representative, failed to place.
