| crown with considerable ease. The final

The sophomores were very unfortunate,
as they had but one man in the meet
Simmons-who entered in the high
jump but failed to score.
The regular track men who particf-
pated in the meet showed wonderful
Improvement since the season opened
and great part OF the success should
be credited to the careful tutelage they
nave received from the young coach
I jack Berry, who Is yet a senior at
Colby and one of Mike" Ryan'a best
bets in the 440 this spring. Jack"
showed his tracksters what he could
do Saturday at the Colby Mort heastern
meet when he, after being in the hard
ssV-yard grind, grabbed third place in
the 440-yard dash by an excellent squirt
OF speed on the home stretch
me Coburn track was in very Door
condition, which made the time in the
track events very slow, but the dis
lance of the weights were good and
the broad jump distance was fine, as
DICK" Reed of the juniors won it at
20 feet. DeVeau made the long dis
tances in the weights. The juniors won
the meet on first places as they copied
nine out OF IL events. The seniors
COPIED the other two when DeVeau
won the hammer and discus throws
The freshies scored their nine points
when Capt. Sullivan came in second in
the $50 and mile runs, being followed
by Ryan for third in both. Young
Bob" Lancaster scored the other point
for them when he pulled 1.-THE surprise
and captured third in the hammer
throw.
Dick" Reed '25 was the high point
scorer of the afternoon as he pulled
down first places in six events with q
total of 80 points. This stunt Is not
pulled off very often and Coach Ber-
ny says that Reed will be heard of as
q track star before the season comes
to a close. Charlie" Hardy was
