COLLEGE RECORDS WILL CRACK

The state intercollegiate track and
field meet which is to be held on
States field Saturday, May %, will
p~rabably be the fastest one ever
staged by South Dakota colleges.
There is said to be a man in every
event who may break the present
record in his particular event under
the right conditions. The outlook
seems to favor the university as the
likely winner, with State college sec
ond and Yankton third. However,
with the right kind of a split in the
points, anyone Of these institutions
might take the meet and the beauti-
full big silver loving cup offered by
State college. Gold, silver and bronze
medals will be awarded the honor men
in the meet, Howard Wood of Sioux
Falls will act as referee and starter.
School of mines, Northern Normal.
Huron college, Yankton college, South
Dakota university and State college
will have teams entered.
In the pole vault Captain Stout of
State will no doubt crack the present
record. With Cleworth going the
same pace of last week the. broad
jump record should change by sew
eral inches. The present high jump
record will undergo a change of hands
when Patrick of the ~" goes up to
the bar. Patrick last week leaped
over 6 feet 8 inches in a dual meet
with Nebraska. The 120-yard hurdle
mark Of 1872 should be lowered to
below 16 seconds if Price runs his
usua, ace. All indications point TO
a new record in the j"avelin with either
Salisbury or Zimmerman behind it.
While it is almost certain that the
discus mark will be changed no man
is sure Of winning it. Shawhan has
run the mile in better than record
time, while Cram has paced the two
miles in 10:3f

boys and girls, pledge our hearts and
loyal support TO all worthy enterprises
leading to a more beautiful Brookings.

T spirit OF good citizenship and with the
determination on our part to show

realize this pledge the Rotary Club
