MIDI, TUFTS AND
AMHERST ARE TIED

Middlebury tied with Tufts and Am
herst for tenth place with points each
in the New England Intercollegiate
track meet held Saturday OF last week
on Tech Field, Boston. NJ. l. T., Wes-
Ilevan and Brown captured the first
three places in order named while New
Hampshire State finished fourth. He
bard and Potratz were the two point
winners for AIiddlebury. The former
captured second place in the broad
jump while Potratz took third in the
hammer throw.
Saturday was unquestonably Mid
dlebury's of day in track With the
take-off for the broad jump on more OF
an elevated slant than Middlebury's is
depressed, Hebard led the large field
of entrants in both the trials and finals
until Dempsey, of Boston College, tore
down the path in his last trial, and in
fact the last of any OF the contestants,
and bettered the former best distance
of 20 it., 10Ain by about 21ainches.
In the hammer throw, Howe, with three
long heaves would have had no diff
Guilty in placing had he not fouled by
slipping fraction of an inch out of the
ring each time As it was, however,
Potratz who had not been counted on
in this event came through with a third
place by getting the weight out nearly
1l3 feet. In his favorite event, the
discus throw, Potratz failed to place
though in practice he has made 100 it.,
which if it had been in the meet would
have given him an easy second.
Though running under ideal weather
conditions and on a track which was in
perfect condition Capt Jones en-
lcountered his first real bad luck in all
of his eight years spectacular career
and failed to place in his favorite race,
the mile At the start of the run he
dropped back into his accustomed
place at the end of the procession and
as in other races remained there during
| the first three laps His final squirt
however, at the beginning OF the last
quarter came too late, for though he
passed sixteen Of the twenty-one en-
tered he was unable to beat out either
Nightingale, Sullivan, Goodwin or Gale
who had retained their respective posi-
tons throughout the entire race The
time for the mile was 4:2S four-ffths
of a second better than that made in
the Harvard Princeton meet at Cam
bridge.

A Latin Play Next Year?

The question of the advisability OF
presenting a Latin Play at the com

probably be considered at the next
meeting OF the Board of Trustees of the

The immense popularity of the pro-
auctions which were made in 1900 and
1910 has led over 300 of the undergrad
uate body and some members of the
faculty to sign petition asking for a
presentation of a play next year under
