place in that event. Everyone who was

and he lost his step and was able only to

The track was in excellent condition
for the meet and the weather could not

went rather slowly, but this doubtless was
due to the fact that the boys came from
their dressing room TO the track without
workout. When they got warmed up
TO the work, however, good records were
made. 1t Is expected that from now on
the team will make greater strides and
