BULKELEY NEWS L. J. McGinley. SOME three or four years ago there graduated from Bulkeley a fellow, who participated in athletics during his school course. Upon his leaving the institu-Introduction , . , 4,vr „ tion he said, Well, as our bunch is leaving the school now, it looks as if Bulkeley will say goodbye to anything in the athletic line. Why, Bulkeley won’t be on the athletic map after our class graduates.” To say the least, this fellow was quite conceited. But permit me to say that when this individual attended Bulkeley, the Orange and Black never knew what a win over Norwich Free Academy in a football game seemed like. I would like to take issue with this fellow and let him know that Bulkeley is at present enjoying the height of her athletic success. The most successful football season in the history of the school was that of 1912. And the forthcoming track meet will be the best ever. And baseball, well, tell your story to “Bobbie” Keefe or “ Sammy ” Lawrence, Mr. Graduate. ON the evening of April 3rd, the track meet will be held. The meet will be held in the state armory, under the auspices T y M °f the 1 Oth Company, C. N. rad, Mtet Q unfortunate person, known as the manager. He will have complete charge of all arrangements. If the same successful results mark the track meet, that have marked every undertaking Wessel has guided at Bulkeley, the meet will be a grand success. Already the track manager is at work arranging for the gigantic athletic carnival. Notice that, “ athletic carnival.” Yes it used to be called “athletic meet,” when Mr. Graduate attended Bulkeley, but times have changed since he left ur. Manager Wessel intends to run the events off in quick time. No delays will be tolerated. Former athletic meets been spoiled by the many delays and setbacks. But the manager will have none of this. Everything will be kept moving. Something novel will be introduced. It has been suggested that a sack race be included in the list of events. This would be out of the ordinary and would greatly amuse and interest the spectators. Already a large number of fellows have started in training in preparation for the meet. Although no list of events has been submitted as yet, the manager states that the usual program of events will prevail, as, dashes, runs, relays, broad and high jump, putting the shot, and last but not least that sack race. It will be “some” fun to see some of those “ Liliputian ” freshmen scram-ling around the armory in meal sacks. This alone will will be worth the price of admission. Members of the militia have expressed a desire to enter in the open events, as have a number of local and out-of-town clubs and individuals. Manager Wessel announces that the W. M. I. will be well represented in the crowd of spectators. And you may take his word for that. He has got them “ buffaloed.”
