j'dCL For the tirst time in many years Barnard sported traclc and tield teams. Because ot the many other sports Barnard has to otter its students, only a tew boys turned out tor track. The boys who did turn out were very ably instructed by Colonel Reed, who previously coached traclc at the Riverdale Country School. The Colonel ar- ranged tour dual meets tor our cindermen. After two weeks ot grueling practice. during which the coach discovered the individual talents ot the squad, we had our tirst meet against Mac- Burney. Our tollowers ot the cinder path, laclc- ing experience, lost this meet by a score ot 37 to 22 against the veteran MacBurney squad. Though we lost this meet by twelve points, we were able to claim one tirst place and several seconds. The fleet-tooted Barnard men practiced harder than ever atter this meet to prepare themselves tor their next one, which was to be with Manhattan. We were encouraged by the colonel's assuring words. The Manhattan squad is not strong this year. But to our dismay. we lost this rheet by the score ot 33 to 30. ln this meet one Barnard man. Joe Schaffer, took three events, while his teamates gave all they had to score the other titteen points. Four days atter this encounter, we met our rival, Fieldston. The Barnard traclcmen loolced torward to this encounter with much anticipa- tion, but we lost this meet by a score ot 3l to 22. One ot the reasons tor this deteat was that Barnard, tor the tirst time, ran on a track interior to the one in Van Cortland Park. Even with these obstacles, Sam Ruben gained his tirst victory of the season by winning the halt-mile run. Joe Schatter and Dud Kabniclc toolc a first and sec- ond place respectively in the 220-yard dash. Ed Wilsoin to everyones surprise, but his own, placed second in the shot-put with a heave ot over thirty-tive teet. The next meet will be with Dwight. We all hope that the boys will win this last meet be- cause ot our valuable experience.
