Track Season of 1905 y l I For the past few years Track Athletics at St. J ohn's have been far below the standard. Several causes contributed to this. Until last year the track was in a very bad condition g hardly fit to run on. Then, too, for some unknown reason, the fellows took but little interest in this branch of athletics. Last spring the athletic field was graded, a new track was made, and interest began to revive. Quite axnumber of candidates came out, and under the leadership of Captain Tarbert, worked hard. The result was that St. John's had a very creditable track team. , At the University of Pennsylvania races last April our relay team composed of Cronin, Hodges, Gore and Tarbert ran against Gallaudet, New York Law School, and University of Western Pennsylvania, and won third place. Winning time, 3.38.' On May 23 we sent our team to the Western Maryland meet at Westminster. In the relay race, Gore ran first, Sinclair second, Ruhl third, and Hodges fourth. Hodges finished first, winning the banner for St. J ohn's. Each of the runners was presented with a gold medal. Walton ran in the 440-yard dash, but was fouled on the first lap and finished fifth. In the mile run, Cronin won third place. ' 'Q This year there are a numberof new men out, and if the proper encouragementland srupport is given them there is no reason why St. Johnfs should not have aigood Track eam. . 1 hfk . .ff-I T .K ,Qi ED ggi?

A Jw' S 7 enrzis Tennis had been on the decline at St. John's since the dissolution of Inter-collegiate League, until it was revived from its lethargic condition last year by the formation of a Tennis Club. The management of this club is not under the direction of the Athletic Association, ' yet the final tournament which takes place in June is held under its super- vision. In fact the prizes awarded to the winners of both singles and doubles for the past two years have been S. J. C. Monograms. To this last feature may be accredited the impetus that the sport is now receiving, and We trust that the time is not far distant when this branch of athletics will be taken' Wholly under the protective wings of thc Athletic Association.
