MILWAUKEE,, Wisc.-(SNS)-
Flashing a Well-balanced team,
10th in track and field events Mar
quette University won its 18th
straight dual track and field meet,
Saturday afternoon, May a, at Mar
quette Stadium, when it defeated
the track team of Michigan, 10G1a
to 351a.
-Four Negro athletes represent
ing Marquette University and one
representing Michigan State, ac-
counted for 4 first places, l tied
for first place, 2 second places, and
third places, for a total of 50
points; wl1i&a, incidentally, were
more points than the whole Michi-
gan State team made during the
meet.
An all Negro one-half mile relay
consisting of Black, Carr, Foster
and Shelton, won the feature event
of the afternoon, the cne-half mile
relay, turning in the distance in
1929.
Marquette made a clean sweep
Of the 100 yard dash, the 22O yard
dash. and 100 yard high hurdle.
In the 100-yard dash Shelton
breezed in with comfortable mar
gin over his teammates, Beaudry
and Black, who finished III order
mentioned. Shelton6 time Of 10
seconds fiat was considered good
for the afternoon.
In the 22O yard high hurdle, Eos
ter finished second to MS team
mate, Sclwape, who ran the
highest in l5.2.
In the 40 yard dash, Carr, Mar
uuette's lanky sepia quarter-m miller,
won as he pleased He was easily
10 yards ahead of the field after
virtually walking in the last few
wards. He was timed at 50.7 Had
he been pushed, he might easily
have broken his own meet record
Of 49.4.
In the 220 yard dash, Shelton
and Carr finished ahead OF their
team mate. Bertucci in 22.2. AT the
halfway mark. Carr was next to
last in the field of six, but came
on with a rush in the finish and
finished second to Shelton.
Darlington Of Michigan State
was first from one end cf the field
to the other. He was entered in
Shot Put, Broad Jump, High Jump,
Javelin and Discus Throws. He
might as we'll have made it a full
afternoon and run the mile and
two miles. However, his entry in
so many events apparently reduced
his effectiveness, for he only tied
for first in High Jump at 6 feet,
end finished third in Broad Jump,
which was won by Shurilla of Mar
oltette in 233. Carrb7gton looks
the part of a great track man, and
Will make his mark before his
track days are over.
