TRA OUR records in track are unique. Patrick does the quarter from North Barclay to the railroad station in three and a half minutes, but returning the same evening it often takes him three- quarters of an hour. Henry Ferris is our original hundred-yard milk consumer, time 8 [ ; and where is there a better Marathon conversationalist than our own Burghard Boyer? And yet the history of our cinder slingers is worth a page of this book of great deeds. Our stars are not effulgent and unbeatable, but they are at least rather good-looking. In Freshman Year, 1910 beat us, but there is no shame in such a defeat. Gallagher made the Relay Team, and we were easily third in the Interclass. The next year we scored a signal victory over 1912, 52-27 points. Jimmy Ash made the Relay, and .scored several times in the College Duals. This was the year that Shep ran the hurdles. He ran around three, knocked over four, and cleared the la.st one after four seconds ' deliberation. Time, 29J. Junior Year we were latent, for Jimmy had various afflictions, including blood poisoning, heart- trouble and appendicitis. The Doctor took him out after the Relays. Ed Ru.s.sel, Herb and Gib Smith had all left college. Senior Year finds us a close second in the Interclass. Wadsworth is running like a sewing ma- chine. Pete Spaulding, Bill Hartshorne, and our Nawth C ' lina athlete, Dick Hobbs, are all kicking up the du.st and cinders. Occasionally they .send Ik Bowerman around, instead of using a road roller. 119

Both had their eyes on the First XI which Bill finally made, leaving John to be high gun on the Second XI. We lost the class championship to the Seniors. In Sophomore year John and Bill bowled at each other from opposite ends on the Fir.st XI. John ' s eye grew more and more piercing and his step grew quicker and more important as he went out to bat at the fall of the first wicket. Taylor kept wickets on the Second XI and was thirteenth man on the Canadian trip on which only twelve were taken. The Westtown pair, above mentioned, went on this trip and distinguished themselve.s on several occasions — both on the field and off. La.st year Taylor kept wickets on the Fir.st XI and Ferris was moved up to the same team. The latter ' s .score of 70 in the Next XV game created c)uite a stir l)ut more glory was to come. Henry bowled mie over in the Germantown game but showed signs of nervousness and was removed. The 121
