They are the men for the job as they were the best men around which to build a track team. Phillips is a sprinter, getting out of his holes the fastest of anybody in the conference. He holds the first position on the relay team, and always gives therest of the team a good lead. He also broad jumps and throws the javelin. He is a Senior so will be lost to the team next year. Doc Cone is one of these namral born athletes. He is a sprint man, hurdler, weight man, and a jumper. Doc is high point man at nearly every meet.

Royal Order of Knights of Blue Circle In the fall of 1927 when the weather was bad and the boys of the Dormitory were getting tired of being couped up, in a spirit of fun, five inmates as charter members, organized the Royal Order of Knights of the Blue Circle. These Charter members were Gene Youell, Merrill Youell, Frank Pinkston, Bob Manley, and Paul Ely. The organization was met with cries of joy as it was a way of spend' ing dull evenings at the Dormitory. The first year all boys in the Dormitory were initiated into the organ' ization. The second year all but a few were taken in. The third year some outside the Dormitory were admitted. There are seventeen active members this year. The organization stands for fun and a good time, and they live up to it by having meetings, initiations, and banquets. The initiation of new members is looked forward to with great anticipation, and as the initiation is harmless and full of fun the new member gets as big a kick out of it as the old members. Although starting out as a fun organization it has been the hopes of the members to develop it into an organization of the college, and to work for the good of the college. l-l.l'l.l.l-ll.l-l

The contestants were Cotner, York, Central, and G. I. C. Grand Island and Cotner led the meet with only a few points difference between them until the iinal events when Cotner took the meet. The second meet was a triangular at York, with York, Central and Grand Island. Grand Island took this meet, the points being 'S 8 f 5 4 f 23. In this meet ribbons were given, and Grand Island brought home her share. The next meet was a dual at Grand Island with Midland. Grand Island lost the meet by being weak in the Held events. The results were Midland 72, and Grand Island 5 4. The last meet was a dual with Doane College at Grand Island. Doane had a well balanced team and so took the meet quite easily. The points were: Doane, 92, Grand Island, 54. Grand Island takes more than her share of honors when it comes to running events, but lacks material for firsts and seconds in field events.
