GARNET LOSES
sure COUNTERS BY
GUSHING SPEAR TOSS

Lewiston, Mar. 1S.-The javelin
throw will not have place on the
program of the State track and field
games this spring. At the Sunday
meeting at Waterville the colleges
voted not to include the spear toss,
though it was expected the event
would be recognized this year. Ma
tional and international meets in
clude the javelin event. The spear
toss has been becoming more pop
ular of late. Why Maine turned it
down is problematical. Bates was
counting on the event for six or
eight points at the State games.
At last years meeting of the col
leges. the proposal was introduced
but referred to this year. 1t was eX-
pected the event would be included
on the State meet program. But the
proposal to include the toss was re-
jected at the Sunday meeting of the
Maine Intercollegiate Track and
Field Association held Sunday at
Waterville.

ViouS the new event is as interesting
as any field event. more so than
most. The Nationals and Olympics
recognize the spear throw. There
seems to be no logical reason why
it should pass unrecognized in
Maine especially as it is in the New
Englands. which the Maine colleges
annually make a strong bid for.
Last spring when the announce
ment was made that the event
would be included in the New Eng
land games it was suggested that
the Maine association follow suit and
place the javeiin on the state meet
program. At the time, however
none of the Maine colleges were
ready for the event and logically 1t
was barred. Many hoped that it
would be included this year without

Colby Inter-Frat
Field-Track Meet
Is POSTPONED

Waterville, March 1S.-Coach Mike
Ryan decided to postpone the Colby
interfraternity track and field meet
which was to have been held tomorrow
afternoon. The Blue and Gray mentor
decided that the students would be too
busy with pre-vacation examinations
and will be unable to attend to the
track work and their studies also. The
first leg of the meet will be held the
first Wednesday after the Easter va
cation.
The present race promises to be the
hottest in the history of interfraternity
competition All the teams seem even
~ matched and some interesting races
are looked for. At present the Lambda
Chi Alpha fraternity seems to have the
best balanced outfit. The Delta Kappa
Epsilon crew should make lot of noise
and the Delta Epsilon and Alpha Tau
Omega teams will be in the running.
The Zcta Psi team. which won the
Druid cup last year, does not shape up
strongly as last year. Memo Foran. the
big point getter, has graduated and the
Zetes will miss the services of the
scrappy little runner. Memo was re-
garded as the best relay runner that
Colby ever had. In addition to Foran.
the Zetes have lost Schenk. Young and
HUM. These three men managed to
pick up quite a few points. Schenk
copied several first places in the
weight events. Young was especially
strong In the hurdles.
The Lambda CHS have neat look
ing team. Fransen. Laughton. Taylor.
are a trio of stars which will do much
toward putting the team to the front.
The Dekcs. with Hearon. McBay, Pea
body, Jordan and Kaufman. will not be
far behind.
In order to retain permanent possess
sion of the cup fraternity must win
it three years in succession In 1921 the
cup was won by the Alpha Taus. in
1899 by Delta Kappa Epsilon and last
year by the Zeta Psi.
