|NTERC[ASS TRACK
MEET At 5. s. c. WAS
SPLENDID SUCCESS

Last Sunday the citizens Of Bay st.
Louis got their first taste of track
athletics and judging by the interest
manifested by the three or four hundred
spectators on the grounds, of St. Stanis-
laus College the affair was complete
success. The twelve events carded
were pulled off without hitch and
brought out some hair raising finishes.
The meet was scheduled to start at
|2 P. NJ, and as early as 1 O'Clock
people began to crowd on the grounds.
BY the time the first race, the 100 yard
dash, was begun the spectators were
spread all around the field. This little
meet was only prelude to the dual ones
that will be pulled off here in the future
and if same was exciting, the public can
easily Judge how much more so they
will be when the athletes from the
college are matched against outside
talent.
The following gentlemen acted as
officials and considering that this was
their first experience in this line, they
acquitted themselves remarkably well
and helped to no small extent to make
the meet success:
Finish Judges: Messrs. Bishop, Cap
depon and Heymann.
Field judges: Messrs Power, Edwards,
Glover and Harrison.
Inspectors: Messrs. Gex, Toca and
Lefebyre.
Headed by Captain Tycer, the Junior
Glass won the meet, scoring a total of
33 points, Tiger himself scoring 20
points by winning four first places. the
hammer, shot, discus and 56-lb weight.
Claverie won the 100 yards in splendid
style from Beaulieu, Ros and Tircuit in
the good time of IL secs.
Sporl heading the freshman class was
the next highest point scorer after
Tycer, negotiating a total OF 16 points,
winning the High Jump, Pole Vault,
Broad Jump and getting third in the
hammer.
L. Ros in winning the hurdles, showed
splendid form and had no difficulty
coping this event.
Jos. Parillo won the half mile run
from a good field and in so doing showed
splendid staying qualities.
The prettiest and most exciting event
of the day was the mile run. The ten
men entered in this event.got off pretty
we'll together and remained punched
for the first lap. After the first lap the
race developed into dual between
Parillo and Farrell. The two boys
fought it out for the remaining five laps,
first one taking the lead then the other
until the finish when Farrell with his
longer stride opened up the gap and
won by ten yards.
This little meet brought out several
salient facts, namely: The people OF
the Bay have good rich red blood run
ing in their veins and are easily reused
to enthusiasm when you give them the
best that there is in the athletic line
and this alone speaks volumes for the
future of this town in the athletic world
and will put us ultimately on the first
page of athletic notoriety.
The college has some splendid mate
rial which will give mighty good
account of itself against the best OF
outside competition and with the sup
port of the enthusiastic citizens will be
eked on to greater deeds. Last but not
least a spirit of good fellowship is be-
ing established between the college and
the citizens that will rapidly grow in
strength and which in the end will
mean an aggrandizing Of both the town
and college.
