WESLEYANS LOSE
BY SMALL MARGIN
GAIN TEN FIRsTs IN SIXTEEN
EVENTS BUT YANKTON NOSES
OUT VICTORY.

Though winning ten firStS in six
teen events, the Dakota Wesleyan
track squad lost the dual meet to
Yankton college yesterday afternoon
by a score of 6S to "a. Intermittent
rain showers and a cold northwest
wind prevented any but two or three
events being run off in exceptional
time.
In the race for points the Method
lists led their Congregational rivals
until the final event, the mile relay.
In a thrilling race, Yankton captured
this event and the meet.
Woodward, Berry and Cass were
the star point winners of the contest,
taking 20, 16 and 10 points respec-
lively. Stevenson OF Yankton was
their nearest competitor, winning 9
points. Woodward placed in six of
the seven events for which he was
entered.
Every event was hard fought. In
the 440 dash, Waite of Wesleyan
and Nash of Yankton ran a dead heat
for second place. knoN of Wesleyan
and Lewis of Yankton also tied for
second place in the half-mile run In
the two-mile event Berry OF Mitchell
placed third in a spectacular finish,
Boyer and Robinson OF Yankton lead
ing by only a few yards. Yankton was
strong in the distance events, While
Wesleyan won points in every other
department.
The rather unique method of Civ
ing third place in a dual meet was
sufficient to give the meet to Yank-
ton, who won ten points in this man.
ner. The Congregationalists worked
this bit of strategy a few minutes be-
fore the meet opened. Wesleyan had
ten men in the meet and Yankton
twenty, but on the usual basis the
locals would have pulled out a VIC
tory.
