Deprived of Noble in the track
events, the seniors were without the

last year. Little Dawes" injured
knee, however, did not prevent Him

held-the shot put and discus
throw. Weston, capturing the broad
jump and placing third in the high
Jump, was the mainstay of the
freshies.
Shanahan of the freshman team
took second honors with II points,

with 10 apiece. Shanahan took the
quarter-mile in easy fashion, and
placed second in the half mile. Few
entries were made in the track

others of track fame away with the
base ball team, the meet was rath-
er tame and no records were shat
tered.
