The arrangement OF the program
worked to the disadvantage Of the local
school, bringing events in which the
local stars were to compete SO closely
together as to make it impossible for
the men to show to the best advant-
age.
The day was cold and the track
heavy, Marshalltown lost its chance
to win the meet in the drawing for the
half mile relay race, when Newton
drew the pole and the local team was
forced to the outer side of the track
This caused the local team to run on
unpacked cinders and eliminated the
runners from the contest.
Packer Breaks Cornell Record.
A strong wind blowing direcuy
across the course lessened the time
consid era bly, in some OF the events, out
Notwithstanding two Cornell Couese
Invitation meet records were shattered.
Packer bettered his own record OF 10
AS. set in 1913, for the 12O-yaro
hurdles, by running the event in 10 20.
In the half-mile relay the Newton team
set a new mark, running the distance
in 1888, which is 3-5 Of second De-
low the old record. made by the Mar
shalltown team year ago.
