state College spectator.
The day was nearly perfect for a

and calm. A very large delegation
from Moscow, together with almost
the entire population of the college
community, constituted record
crowd The meet started shortly
after the close of the w. S. Coon
zaga baseball game, with the mile
run Hathaway and Williams easily
won this event and the hopes of the
home rooters was raised to the high
est pitch. The first dash of cold
water came when Cooke lost to Nor
rjson in the 100-yard dash, and more
came with the defeats of Schultz by
Dingle in the half, McCroskey by
Lockhart in the low flights, Hansen
and Williams by DeHaven in the two
mile run, and Cooke by Morrison
again in the 220. All these events
resulted in upsetting the dope can
and made it plainly evident that the
result would depend entirely upon
the relay.
In the relay, Dietz, Schultz, Nc
Croskey, and Cooke were pitted
against Morrison, LouX, Massey, and
Dingle Dietz took a good 10-yard
lead on Morrison after one of the
prettiest contests of the day. LouX,
fresh as could be, overlook Schultz,
who was still in poor shape from his
siege of mumps and tired from the
half mile and gave Massey a 10-yard
lead over McCroskey. The latter
gained for a while, but could not
keep it up and gave Cooke a 15-yard
handicap in his race with Dingle.
These two men are probably the two
fastest in the conference and both
must have made the quarter under
90 seconds. Cooke gained on Dingle
for the first 220, but the latter was
able to run the stronger race, and
finished short six feet ahead of the
W. s. c. captain.
1t was a great meet and the best
team won. There are dozens of "ifs"
which might have helped w. S. G.
win, but we lost and the ability of
the Idaho team can not be belittled.
Schultz, Hathaway, Williams, and
Schlaefer were not in condition,
Schlaefer being unable to enter the
meet and if these men had been at
all near their best, the results might
have been different, but as the teams
stood on the day of the meet, Idaho
undoubtedly had the better team.
Phillips was high point winner,
with three first places in the weights.
