x • k ' rv :) ' Ti r f i f- IK !-- ■likJSiJ]™ FBESHMAN TRACK Tl [E freshmen began their career (in the cinders the ninth of March when the team entered the triangidar meet with Charlotte High School and the varsity. The freshmen took third in this meet as at that time they were not in very good trim. On March the twenty-third some of the freshmen took an opportunity to get a little e.xperience and practice by entering some of the events of the high school meet held on Richardson Field. Brannon won the mile easily, and he did some pretty running. Lillard took second place in the discus throw. The first dual meet of the freshmen was with Catawba College on Rich- ardson Field April the ninth. On that afternoon they succeeded in defeating Catawba College seventy-three to forty- four. The Davidson boys took eight first places compared to five for the visitors. Aycock of Catawba was the individual feature of the meet, winning high honors with first place in the 100, 220 and 440-yard dashes, for a total of fifteen points.. Lillard, of Davidson, was second in points with a total of thirteen, taking first in the javelin and discus throw and second in the shot put. The time of the dashes and runs was mediocre and the measure of the heights and dis- tances was fair. First places were won as follows : 100-yard dash, Aycock (C.) ; mile run, Brannon (D.) ; 220-yard dash, Ay- cock (C.) ; high hurdles, Fletcher (C.) ; 440-yard run, Aycock (C.) ; low hurdles, Gorham (D.) ; 880-yard run, Morton (D.) ; high jump, Campbell (C.) ; pole vault, LasHe (D.) ; broad jump, Roane (D.) ; shot put, Milton (D.) ; discus, Lillard (D.) ; javelin, Lillard (D). 1© [one hundred ninety-five]
