aid this, with other points gained in
other places throughout the program
gave them a large lead over their
&c ston rivals. Northeastern secured
a majority of her points in the field
events and until these were run off
it looked as though the Blue and

The only event in which the local
collegians failed to place was the
javelin throw, all of the places in
this meet going to the Northeastern
team. Colby took all of the three
places in the one mile run, 220 yard

Several o. the events We're holly
contested. one of the most interest
ing was that in which Elmer Taylor
captured first place by five or six
feet in the 220 yard low hurdle race.
Taylor had taken an easy first place
in the l20 yard high hurdle race
but as he skinned over the top of
the last hurdle, the strong wind car
ried it down and disqualified him.
Colby would have placed first and
second in this event as Shaw was al
so ruled out for upsetting three hur-
dies, but as it was, Northeastern took
first and second with K. Snow OF
Colby taking third.
George l.. Mittlesdorf, star sprint
er at the Waterville college, took
both the centuray and 22O yard
dashes almost at will. He equaled
the college record OF ten seconds
flat in the century dash and the
record of 20 1-5 seconds in the 220
yard dash. Mathers of Colby sur
prised all by PRESSING Capt. Hearon
hard in the 220 and only finished
few inches behind the Blue and Gray
leader.

by in the two mile and broke the
tape for his varsity track letter in
the excellent time of 10 minutes and
sc seconds. Baker won his event
in the $50 yard run with Brundo d
close second, while Brundo showed
his heels to all in the mile event and
finished strong in 4 minutes, Al IS
seconds. Russell Brown breeZed
down the straightaWay with Hunt

til a last desperate drive sent him
across for a first in the 4i0 yard
dash.
Tatton and Mcknight of North
eastern showed up the Blue and
Gray high jumpers and took first
and second with some pretty leaps
he was little better than Everett
FIansen in the broad jump and took
the event with a margin of a little
over two inches. Yak proved to be
a real man when it came to throw
ing the discus and heaved the OBJ
jeCt two feet beyond Wenworth's
mark. Christianson, Raffone and
sylvester took all three places in the
Javelin throw for Northeastern with
hcaves in the vicinity of $50 feet.

without effort and broke the college
record by sending the weight al
