Track Team defeated the Suburban A.
c., of New Orleans, by the overwhelm-
ing score of 119 to "a. Of the thirteen
events pulled off, the college boys won
every ore. If this can be taken as a
criterion of what can be expected from
the colleges track team, it is safe to
predict that through this St. Stanislaus'
first year in track athletics, they will all
have to step mighty lively to beat US.
The large crowd that witnessed the
meet showed great deal of enthusiasm
over the performance of our boys and
though this branch of athletics is new
here, it is destined to meet With the
same interest that made itself manifest
in basketball and baseball.
The meet was beautifully handled by
the officials, and notwithstanding the
large number OF entries, the whole
affair was over in just two and half
hours. There was not single hitch in
the entire performance and the visiting
athletes though disappointed in the
showing they made against our boys,
expressed themselves as very we'll pleased
with the reception accorded them and
the absolutely fair and competent officiat-
ing
Of the thirteen events carded, the
most exciting of the day was the half
hot
of St. Stanislaus College soon took the
lead from the other four contestants
and the race developed into a two man
affair. Lap after lap they ran with
Parillo slightly in the lead until the
last few steps on the straightaway, when
Hassinger with a final burst of speed
just managed to get his chest ahead OF
Parlllo to beat him at the tape. This
was one of the most hair-raising finishes
ever witnessed in these parts.
Cyril Clayerie won the hundred-yard
dash in great style in II seconds flat.
Considering the slowness of the track
and the comparatively small amount OF
work which he has done SO far to pre-
pare for this event, this was remark
ably good time and he gives promise of
developing into one the best sprinters
in the South. Just as soon as warm
weather comes around, this youngster Is
going to attract the attention of all the
athletic experts away from here. Cla-
verie is gifted by nature with re quisltes
for an ideal sprinter. He is tall, carries
very little body, has good chest and a
splendid pair of legs, long and rangy,
but with all strongly knit in the calves
and thighs. Above all. he is ambitious
and has the grit essential to fight it
out to the better end, which is most
potent factor in the winning of races
Waters and Farrell showed up to
splendid advantage in the mile-run and
will make them all sit up and take
notice when they round into shape
Waters is quite youngster and has the
frame for natural runner. He is a
native of the Bay and it is not toe
optimistic to predict that he will soon
cover hims elf and his native town with
glory in the athletic world.
Lopez in the quarter mile is also a
conner. This is Docs first time out in
athletics and will bear watching.
Louis and Pol. Ros, Beaulieu, Will
bert and Moore also showed to splendid
advantage. These boys had never be-
fore done any athletic work to amount
to anything and they competed like old
timers, easily disposing of their Subur-
ban rivals. They will prove mighty
good point winners for ST. Stanislaus
| the coming season. Beaullieu's hand
/ ling of the Javelin and Louis Ros from
in the hurdles are worthy of special
mention.
Lucas Griggs in the three-mile run
demonstrated what hard and diligent
training will accomplish. He won this
event with such ridiculous ease from his
five opponents that they were completely
outclassed. At the beginning of the
season no one took Lucas seriously al
an athletic possibility. However, IN.
dismayed by the jokes and gibes of hi
fellow collegians, he stuck manfully tt
his task and now he has the proue
distinction of being declared WHINE
his first time out in three mile event
His time of f9 min. and Is sec. wa
splendid considering that the track is ST,
Laps to the mile or Is times around TO
three miles. He is improving righ
along and it will take a good runner t,
beat him in the the Southern A. A. Il
Championship games this year.
