ton athwart the paths OF Wabash,
Wisconsin. Illinois. and the other
Notre Dame track opponents this
winter is evidenced from the results
Of the handicap meet held in the
Gold and Blue gymnasium Friday
afternoon. Although no startling
performances were recorded, the
marks were very creditable for this
stage OF the campaign and Coach
ROckne is confident that ne has a
real team in the making.
Sweeney and Kasper Shine.
The form displayed by Walter
Sweeney. veteran miller, and Cy Kas-
per. crack middle distance runner,
was the high spot of the meet.
sweeney, running from scratch, ex-
hibited one Of the prettiest races Of
his indoor career and If he improves
as rapidly in the next few weeks as
he has since the holiday vacation.
he should win the mile run in every
contest Notre Dame enters. Murphy
finished second in the mile. He was
given 20 yard handicap, but he
finished ahead Of Heuther and Gull
hane, who had 20 and 90 yard handi-
caps respectively.
The 44O yard event was the most
spirited attraction of the afternoon.
BILL" Hayes was an entry from
scratch and he set a terrific pace for
800 yards at which point he dropped
out. Kasper, however, merits all the
honors in the quarter mile. Taking
a fast pace at the start, he main
tanned ii steadily until the final lap
when he opened up with a dash that
closed the event in a tornado of
speed. His time was 53:1-5 seconds.
Meredith Wins Half Mile.
The half mile run was a hectic
affair with Meredith and Mcintyre
playing the stellar role. Meredith
battered into the lead on the first
lap and maintained it throughout.
Powers proved the best of the
pole vaulters, clearing the bar at IL
feet He failed in an attempt to
make j feet inches. The shot put
and high jump marks hardly come
up TO expectations.
The high hurdles were won by
Wynne. who was closely pressed by
Starret. Wynne also made a good
showing in the low hurdles until ne
stumbled near the finish. His speed,
however. was not sufficient TO sur
pass that of Desch, the fleet little
freshman speedster whose individual
performance surprised the big
throng of student fans in attendance.
Hayes Wins Dash.
Dave Hayes, football star, breasted
the tape a winner in the 40 yard
dash. He had a handicap Of IL feet.
Bill Hayes easily negotiated the dis
lance in the fastest time, but his
adversaries' handicaps were too
much TO overcome. Patterson made
good time, but like Hayes he was
unable 10 make up for his oppOn-
