Bates FRESH|ES
Win MEET FROM
LEWISTON barriers

Bates Freshmen won their second
track victory of the year yesterday
afternoon at the Armory when Coach
Jenkins. collegians defeated the Lew
iston high school trackmen in an in
formal meet 1922. Coach French's
men gave the Freshmen plenty of
opposition throughout the meet and
the Lewiston boys showed a marked
improvement over their running in
the interclass meet.
Jordan gave the Bates team sitter
opposition than the Kent's Hill ag-
gregation and with the exception Of
the dash and the 800 yard run the
other events were closely contested.
The feature Of the afternoon was the
mile run when Wills and Pat Ma
loney ran neck and neck for 10 laps
the former winning out by a scant
margin. This is the second sensa-
tional race that Wills has won. Sat-
urday he beat Brown, his teammate
in a similar finish in the 1000 yard
run.
All Bates men qualified in the
semi-f1nal of the dash and the final
heat was not run, all nine points go
ing to Bates. Young of Bates sprang
a surprise in the hurles by leading
the field over the low sticks by a
comfortable margin. Pomeroy, Lew
iston's best bet in this event, STUN
bled at the first hurdle in the open
Ing heat and was unable to place.
Baker of Bates was well in the
lead of the 800 yard field with Peck
behind him when Giguere and Dun
can. the Lewiston entries fell on the
track. Giguere managed to finish the
race and was awarded third place.
Baker winning and Peck second.
Leighton of Lewiston went through
the 600 yard run like a veteran and
WON easily over the field. The Lew
iston athlete went after the race
from the flash Of the pistol and. he
never faltered until he crossed the
tape. His running was one of the
prettiest pieces of work during the
afternoon.
Buster Brown of the collegians and
mckinley had things all to them
selves in the 1000, the former finish
ing few strides ahead of his team
mate. Hartley tried hard to push
both men but he lacked the speed
and finished third.
