TEAM FROM n. D.
In Track Meets Events On
Sunday Last By a Score 81
to 43-Biggest Crowd Ever
Assembled Witnessed the
Best Meet OF Season-Ty-
Ger a Star of the Day.

Like Caeser the strong LaSalle A
c., of New Orleans, came and saw, bu
unlike Caeser they were conquered. A
great deal had been said about th'
LaSalle team in the New Orleans papers
and at the very best, the city's organs
conceded S. S. c., but and outside
chance OF coming out victorious. How
ever, as many another plan OF mice ant
men, the tables were turned and it wa'
a very much disappointed and disheart'
ened bunch of athletes that left the
Bay on the Excursion Sunday evening
with a score of 81 to 43 against them.
Undoubtedly this was the greatest
meet ever witnessed at the Bay and one
thing was demonstrated very clearly
and that is, that St. Stanislaus' victories
in the previous meets here and in Me-
ridian and Hattiesburg were not flukes
Furthermore, though this is the frst
wear that S. S. G. has ever gone in fol-
track athletics, they have a team OF
which every citizen in the Bay is proud
and one with which every team in the
South must reckon for championship
honors. The showing our boys made
Sunday speaks we'll for the prospects OF
6. 6. G., in the Junior 5. A. A. U.
Championships to be held in New Or
rleans on May 26th. 1t would be too
optimistic to predict that we will win
this meet against the very best Clubs
and Universities in Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and
Tennessee, but there is one thing GER
tain, ST. Stanislaus is going to make
showing that will cause people through
out the south to sit up and take notice
and to realize that there is beautiful
little town on the Gulfcoast of Missis-
sippi, called Bay ST. Louis. which is
very much alive, They will all know
that Bay ST. Louis has made it's bid for
recognition and that this
only presages what the future holds In
store for US.

leans games.
The visitors came over Sunday loaded
for bear. carrying not only,a team COM
posed of some of the best athletes in
Dixie, but had some 150 rooters and a
brass band which helped very consider
ably to liyen up matters. After the
games the band got busy in the Colleges
pavilion and dancing was INDUCED in
by all present.
The meet itself was agog with interest
from the very start, ST. Stanislaus
opening up the fray by winning al
three places in the 100 yard dash, but
the visitors came right back capturing
the half mile run. The college ther
won the shot put and LaSalle not to be
outdone took the half mile walk. We
then won the pole vault and they fol.
lowed up coping the 440 yard run
The college then won in rapid success
sion the Mile run. Discus, High Jun
and 56-lb weight giving them a com,
manding lead which from then on the!
never relinquished, though the visitors
managed to take the three miles ant
Javelin. Incidentally Pat. Ryan OF the
visitors had to break the Southern re-
cord to win the Javelin, being closel,
pressed for honors by Beauliieu and
Older of S. s. C. AS fit wind up o
the day and for further good measure
Tycer of S. S. c., took both the Ham,
mer and Hop, Step and Jump.
A good deal had been said in the New
Orleans papers about Pat. Ryan of L
Sale, whom it was predicted woult
score more points in this meet thai
Nat. Tycer, the st. Stanislaus Captain
Everyone watched with keenest interes
the outcome of this athletic dual an,

the result showed that our boy outclass
