Expect to Run
Final Track
Events Outdoors

The final round Of the tract meet at
cinder track if the weather is favor
able next Monday ami Tuesday. This
will be the first time that Colby men
will have chance to use the track as
it was not completed until late last
fall. The surface of the track has
stood the winter well and is PRACTICAL
ly dry at the present time.
On account of the tournament be-
ing changed to an outdoor meet,
practically all of the events will be
changed. The events as planned by
Coach Michael J. Ryan are the CO.
yard dash, 65-yard high hurdles. two
mile run, one mile intcrfraternity re-
lay race, throwing the 35-pound
weight. running broad jump, running
high jump, pole vault, 16-pound shot
put, discus throw. hamn or throw and
600-yard run open to anyone who
has never represented the college in
interfraternity track competition.
This meet will be about like the
State meet on miniature scale so
that the athletes will have more
chance to practice than they did in
doors.
The change in events will give
some of the men who are stars in
particular events such as the pole
vault to win points whereas in the
gymna SUM there was not this chance,
This makes the tournament more in
teresting as it may change the stand
ing of some OF the competitors.
At the present time the Delta kap-
pa Epsilon team is in the lead with
SIS points while the Zeta Psi's have
s. and the Alpha Tau Omega team
has A.. With the change in schedule
each of these three teams have a
good chance for first place.
