Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1913-05-05

Of his nearest competitor, the Gales
burg runner. Chalk took up the bat
tie for the locals and gained a few
more yards for the locals. Clarke ran
the third lap, and although getting a
poor start was nearly even with his
competitor when he touched kipp-
Ericsson, all state basketball guard, and
all around athlete, was running against
Kipp, and taking lead from the start,
set a hard pace. He gained about
Is yards, but from that time Kipp
crawled up on him and before the
last turn he had passed the Galesburg
man and the pennant was won for
Rock Island.
CHALK RUNS PRETTY MILE
Kipp won second place in the quar-
ter mile dash, with Wilson close
third. Glass took second in the discus
throw, and Chalk totaled the II points
for the locals with two first places,
in the mile and half mile. Probably
upon a dry track he would have brok-
en- his record for the mile in the
Big Eight conference. AS IL was with
mud from head TO foot, he came less
than two seconds behind the mark
set by the Big Eight champion dis
lance runner, Hickman, who ran the
race on a normal track in four min
utes and 50 2-5 seconds. The Gales
burg runner, Temple by name, set the
pace for the first two and half laps,
but then Chalk took the lead and fin
ished nearly so yards ahead of the
rest of the runners. Carter, also a
local man, finished a close fourth, and
would probably have qualified. had not
he slipped on the last turn. Chalk
won the half mile in good time, taking
another first place with ease. In this
race Thomas also ran for the locals,
and although he did not place, he
showed his worth. Hippler and Clark
placed in the sprint heats, but lost
out in the semi-finals. The complete
