especially of the home team, which
annexed several events that had prac-
I tically been conceded TO one or the
otehr of the visiting teams.
All Places in Half Mile.
One Of the big surprises of the meet
was the result of the haf-mile run.
Marshalltown placed three men. Vogt
winning from Battin by two yards. and
Perry finishing in third place. Battin
led turnout and set a pace too hot for
the visiting runners. Vogt. with a great
sprint, cut down Battin in the last ten
yards.
Fall Loses Race.
Johnson. of Marshalltown, took the
low hurdles in good time. after Packer
had been eliminated by a bad fall.
Packer had won the high hurdles
handily and was looked upon as a sure
, winner of the low stick event. Leading
in his heat Packer we'll over the next
to the last hurdle, failing to finish.
Johnson won the next heat in the best
/ time for the event.
Another surprise came in the pole
vault when Hull defeated Ross, of
Grihnell. and Griffith, of Ames. No
less surprising was re result of the
broad jump, which was won by Hav-
ems. of Marshalltown, with Newcomer,
Of Marshalltown. third. The visiting
teams had counted on these events on
the strength of past performances Of
the men entered.
GrinneI Sprinters Fast.
Grinnell placed two men in the cen
Jury. which went TO Nelson in II fiat.
Hastings. of Grinnell. vas second and
H. Buchwald. Of Marshalltown, finish
ed third. The Grinnell pair took the
lead and was never seriously threaten
ed. Arnold Of .Anes. won from Nelson
in the longer sprint. with Lee. Of Grin
nell. and Buchwald, Of Marshalltown,
running a dead heat for third place.
Grinnell Team Disqualified.
The relay races were run in a mud
and water covered track and the heavy
Ames men proved the stronger in the
mile grind Marshalltown ran a good
second. but Grinnell was kopelessly out
a the half and the team withdrew
The half mile event proved better
race, and the fight for second place was
exciting. Grinnell led thruout. but the
team was disqualified because of the
failure of the first runner to touch the
man running the second lap. MARSHALL
town trailed until the finish, when New
conner made plucky effort to over
haul the Arnes runner. He made up
half the distance his running mates had
lost but was unable to overcome the
big lead. Ames was given first place
and Marshalltown second
