4 very noticeable feature about the
little fellows in the class composed Of
boys from 90 70 50 pounds, is that in
certain events they make better
marks than athletes IN the senior
Eezafhlon. This is true N the potato
races. Athletic director Holm attTi-
butes this TO the fact that the little
fellows can always be depended on TO
appear for practice while business
end other attractions often keeps the
older members away from steady
training.
Among the little fellows the follow
ing are high men in the events named
with the indicated marks made in
