Ter of Bowdoin barely nosed out
Thomas of Maine. was a thrilling
race. as was also the 22O and 4iO

event that a lengthy dispute develop
| cd oyer whether or not Mason hit
the tape before Archibald. The
| Judges finally awarded the decision
| to Mason, but the Bates supporters
maintain that Archibald won the
| race. jackson of Bates, the bantam
Splinter who was expected TO place
in the dashes, failed to qualify for
