Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1915-05-06
NEXT TO N. A. c. IN
THE TRIANGULAR MEET
Alma Track Team is Second to the
Agriculturalists, Forcing Oil
vet to Accept Third.


Alma College scored second place
in the triangular field and track meet
held at East Lansing, Saturday after
noon with NJ 4. {. winning an easy
first place and Olivet trailing behind
Alma in third position. The Agl .c a.
tural college scored ninety points, \i-
ma, twenty seven and O.ivet foI a.
The showing made by the s., N
tracksters was especially encolr. ge-
ing. Garlock and Marks, both O The
freshman class won first places ia the
quarter mile run and broad jump re-
spectively, while the veteran Harry
Jackson won first place in the high
jump, as usual, making a five foot sew
en- inch leap. In ali his years Of high
school and college jumping Harry has
been bssted but once or twice in the
high jump and on his showing last
Saturday it looks as though he would
beat the intercollegiate record which
he himself holds, next June at the big
meet
Gallagher also did fine work scoring
second places in the mile and half mile
runs. One of the surprises of the
meet was the poor showing made by
Hyde in the pole vault; touted as
ten foot six inch man i'm that event, he
failed to win even a third place at NJ.
A. c. 1t is hoped that by the time
the Intercollegiate rolls around he will
be able TO realize the ambitions of his
friends.
Garlock, the former St Johns High
man, ran two of the prettiest races of
the day, winning the quarter mile run
with ease and finishing the days work
by running a brilliant quarter in the
mile relay run. He came to Alma with
a fine reputation ana he is living up
to it. Captain Chisholm experienced
lot of bad luck and succeeded in
winning but one point. He got bad
starts in both the one hundred and two
twenty yard races. However, he fin
ished both races strongly and was a
dangerous contender all the way.
Chapel, Richards, Sayles, and Gard
ner Schultz, won third places; the lat
ter scoring third place in two events,
the two hurdle races.
Next Saturday, Mt Pleasant Nor
NAL and Olivet track men come to AL
ma TO meet the Presbyterians in a
triangular meet. Though Alma doub-
led Olivet's score in the NJ. A. c. tri-
angular affair the locals are not look
ing for an easy victory at their meet
ing Saturday. The strength of the
Normals in track is an unknown guam
tity though Coach Helmar may be ex-
pected TO turn out strong squad de-
spite the difficulties in developing a
winner among short term men. Last
year the teachers sprang a surprise
and gave the Alma tracksters a hard
battle for first place in the dual meet
held here.
The same men will be entered next
Saturday as performed at NJ. A. c. ex-
cept that Alger Wood and Gordon
French and perhaps two or three 9TH
ers will be added to the squad. Wood
is the leading discus thrower in the
Intercollegiate and would have entered
the Saturday meet had not his SER
vices been needed with the baseball
team. French puts the shot we'll
around thirty-six feet and should rank
high in next Saturdays meet
