(Irark HE track team of 1910 started the season with very few of the old men — Christian, Austin, Detwiler, Pyles and Fowler. Dixon, who had been a member of the 1909 team, was in school and some new men developed during the spring. Of the new men, Holmes made the best show- ing. The team was hampered by lack of a sufficient number of meets to do the best work. There was one dual meet with the Nebraska Wesleyan, and the state meet. The meet with the Nebraska Wes- leyan was a very good one from point of records. The day was good for track work and the track was in excellent condition. Four new college records were established during the meet. Christian won the hundred yard dash in 9 4 5 seconds and the two-twenty yard dash in 23 3 5 seconds. Fowler lowered the half mile mark to 2:05 3 5 and Pyles broke the broad jump record with a jump of 21 feet and 1} 2 inches. The college took the meet 79-38. The team was seriously handicapped before the state meet by the illness of Austin and Detwiler, sure point winners. Detwiler and Austin both came back but were unable to round into form for the state meet, neither placing. The team that went to the state meet had eight contestants of whom only four won places. In spite of this, the college won second place, being defeated by the Normal with a margin of three points. At the state meet. Holmes was the best mdividual point winner, getting 13 points, Christian and Pyles getting 10 4 each. Fowler 53 and Ambler 2} 2- For the season. Holmes led innumberof points with 26, Christian and Pvles mak- ing 20 3 4 each. Fowler 15 3 4. In records Christian leads with two college and one state record; Pyles and Fowler one college and one state record each and Holmes one college record. The track men worked well and deserve more encouragement and support. At our best meet on an almost perfect day the attendance was less than one hundred fifty. During the season, Mr. W. S. Elliott of Manhattan, gave a fine trophy cup to be contested for by the various classes. This cup was not awarded last year because the weather interfered with holding a meet before April seventeenth. ihf ' if,i

The last game of the season on the home court was an easy one for the Farmers who piled up the record score for 1911, 76 to 21, against the Kansas Wesleyans from Salma, the evenmg of March 3. Captain Edwards put a gi-and finale to his basket ball career on the local court by making seventeen goals from the field during the game. The following day the team took its departure to the camp of the Congregational- ists down the Kaw. During the first half of this game everything was strongly for the Aggies but shortly after the beginning of the second half Hahn was removed from the game via the personal foul route. This seemed to take all the team work out of the Farmers and put pep into the Sons of Ichabod for from this time till the closmg gun confusion reigned supreme with the Aggies and team work supplanted chaos among the Washburnites. By defeating our boys 32 to 23 Washburn laid claim to the championship of the Topeka Conference Colleges. With the advantages to be had by the use of the Nichol ' s Gymnasium and with the material which has been developed on the second team and in the class games we can see a glowing prospect for the Kansas Aggie Basket Ball team of the season of ' 11- ' 12.
