ATHELET1C NOTES By Eued Romine A basket-ball team was organized late last fall, but owing to bad weather and lack of interest, the team soon disbanded We began working on the track early this spring to get it in shape to run on, and, by a good deal of hard labor, we managed to haul enough cinders to cover it completely. The school now has a good track. Why not use it? If Tom Terril and Casper Smith would only enter the athletic meet which is to be held at Monticello, May 9, ’08, we are sure that they would bring home their share of the ribbon and medals; for Tom is a good one on the sprint as well as on the long distance run; and Casper knows how to handle weights. But as Casper refused to enter and Torn thinks that it would be too lonely to go by himself, Atwood will very probably not be represented in athletics this year. Perry Rodgers had a very serious accident befall him one evening this spring while pole-vaulting with a light pine pole. The pole broke in two when he was several teet from the ground. As he had just begun training he was not quite so agile as a cat, and therefore alighted on his shoulder instead of on his feet. Two bones wers broken which caused him a great deal of pain and incon-vience, and also kept him out of school for several days. Accidents will happen even in the safest sports, so do not let this cast a dark shadow on pole vaulting.
