intercollegiate Conference title with a
total Of 441h points. Chicago was second
with 80 points, and Illinois third with
%, just one point ahead OF the agEre-
cation from Notre Dame University
Sixteen colleges figured in the scoring.
Overshadowing oil team performances
was the work Of C. E Johnson of Micht-
gan. He started in four events, won all
Of them and in the high and broad
in the high jump was he pushed, W. J.
Paige. OF Ames. clearing the bar at 6
feet Ia inch, and forcing the big Mlohi-
gan athlete to go two inches higher 10
win. The previous record was sir feet
l-2 inch, and was made by Robert Vail

but he took two more trials and cleared
"a feet and inch. lettering the con-
ference record OF 20 feet 1lA inches
which he himself established last year.
In the hurdles he won his heats and
finals with ridiculous ease.
Runs Century in 4-S Seconds.
The twenty points garnersd by John
son made him the high point winner Of
the day. Notable performances also
wero recorded by W. Hayes Of Notre
Dame, who ran the century in 9 As
seconds. Tieing the Eastern and West.
ern college records and then sprintsd
away from his field in the furlong, he
ran on a track softened a bit by yester.
days rain and a quartering wind.
Defeat in the two mile race and failure
to finish better than third in the relay
virtually killed Chlcago's chance OF win
ming the meet, Chicago, however,
equalled Michigan's record by scoring In
eleven events.
