ACK 1 .yi 1 1 ' I .gif X I 1' V 1 if ' I It -5' ' .' T I Q... If RACK athletics since its first introduction into C. C. I. in 1904, has had a remarkable career. I W 'll'-t Great credit is due to the members of the 1906-07 team for maintaining so well such a 1,7-' ll S proud record. I' 'N The relay team on january 25, 1907, easily secured first place in the Preparatory School Re- igfitl '- . lay Race at the Columbia University Indoor 1 Games. Again in April it ran in the National Relay Championships 'ig fa for Preparatory Schools at Philadelphia, winning second place .K to Hill School, in almost a dead heat. The track team which f . ,. 1 consisted in nearly every case of about six men, including the e members of the relay team, made its First appearance at the Poly Prep. Games in Brooklyn, N. Y. First place was denied to us, however on account of an accident to Captain Faraday's foot. - In the New York University games our loss was practically caused by the unfortunate arrangement of events in which our men were entered. Coming as they did, the events did not permit our representatives to do justice to themselves. At the Columbia Games we were decisively beaten by Newark Academy. At the Pingry meet we again secured a CAPT- FARADAY second place. The last meet of the season, and the one on which our efforts were fo- cused, we won. This was the Wesleyan meet. Two new lnterscholastic Records were made in this meet, as well as two new school records, which were made by Faraday and Camp, the former covering the 440 yds run in 51 seconds and the latter accomplishing the half mile in 4 min. 4 4-5 sec. An additional school record was made in the 220 yard hurdles by Kil- patrick, time Z7 4-5 sec. 'I If we stop to consider the large number of entries which other schools made in the meets in comparison with the few who represented the Blue and the Black, the greatest credit is due to our men for winning the laurels that they did, and thereby giving C. C. I. a high ranking in Track Athletics. S Q at E a N U57 , f . 1 f,. .' - 1: xx, , X .iw ' 253' to :v. ww' ', - I Zkil 1:1
