VVith very poor prospects for a standard season, Fields, the mainstays of the previous year, took big job of keeping St. John's in the running material. However, this they did well, for, untiring efforts, which were bacl-:ed by all can possess, they succeeded in making this among our athletics than it has for many On the lst of April our team met Navy in a handicap dual meet on their lield. Handicaps were given to both teams, and, though Navy won by a large Illilfgill-48-24-Olll' team was not at all discouraged, for from the new men several appeared to be future winners. Holmes and A. H. Noble were our chief point-winners, the former winning the 440 and SSO-yard runs, while the latter came in second in the ICO-y3.l'Cl dash and third in the 880-yard run. On April 29th our relay team, composed of Captain Fields, Noble, Holmes and Cook, entered the Pennsylvania meet, and did well to capture even the fourth choice, as they were against seven exceptionally good teams. Our track and Held team on May 6th entered an open meet at Maryland State College and captured I7 points, Noble and Holmes again being the chief point-gainers, gathering 7 each. Cook and VVatson did well in the mile and shotput, respectively. At the time of writing little can be said concerning the prospects for the '17 season. Captain Noble nevertheless has a right to believe that it will be a success if the men continue to improve as they have since the opening of the season. cf 218

E '. - lil fdntrr-011211111 illlvri In the afternoon of May 2d, 1916, an Interclass Meet was held on Wood- ward Field with Professors Grove, Gray, Sturdy and Scarborough acting as judges. The event proved to be very interesting, and brought to light many track men of whom the coaches were ignorant. Great rivalry existed between the different classes, the members of each striving to cover their class with glory. Medals were given to the man of each class who made the highest number of points for his class. Holmes proved to be the greatest point-winner in the final reckoning, lead- ing all other contestants with a total of 18 points. Close behind came A. H. Noble, with a total of I4 points, more than half the number scored by his class. Fields of 1916 was third, with 8 points, and Cook was fourth, with a total of 6. SUMMARY IOO-YARD HURDLES A. H.
