The procession of Central run
ners got to be monotonous. and
only in the field events were the
Mt. Pleasant lads pushed. Bill
Supplee, of Tech, did all he could
to make it interesting for Central.
The weather was so chilly as to
force a sparse crowd to seek warm
er quarters. and the meet. which
was poorly conducted. suffered la.
mentally by the fact that those In
charge allowed the majority of the
gallery to swarm the field. The
spectacle offered little OF interest,
ordered scholastic meets was la.
mentable.
Easy for McFadden.
Leslie McFadden was not forced
to extend himself to win the high
jump, pole vault, or javelin throw,
md chalked up fifteen points. Willis
