BARNETT JOHNSON QUINN Hurdles, Broad Jump Mile, Half Mile Mile, Half Mile TRACK An unusually weak and unbalanced Hendrix College track team fought its way through a brief inter- collegiate season last spring to bring up the rear in scoring in dual meets with Tech and State Teachers, and to place second in a triangular meet with the the University of Arkansas and College of the Ozarks, and fourth in the state college meet held here May 1 and 2. On April 7 at Conway in the opening meet of the season, Arkansas Tech captured eleven first places and tied for two more to amass a total of 7814 points and defeat Hendrix by a 30-point margin. The Warriors’ only clean victories were in the 880-yard and mile runs, although they divided points with Tech for first places in the pole vault and high jump. The triangular affair was the second contest and was run off at Hurie Field, College of the Ozarks, under adverse weather conditions on April 14. Arkansas won the meet with a total of 76 points, Hendrix was second with 61 and Ozarks trailed with 21. The events were held during a cold, misty rain and north wind and consequently the meet was unusually slow.
