Faculty Track-fest Unbeknownst to the students of Le Conte, the highly dignified of this insti- tution, feeling frisky and tired of being restrained from action, disported them- selves one afternoon in a gigantic track-fest. A large number of the faculty partook in the events and the competition was hot. The place of the meet has never been disclosed, although Fifth and Broadway, it is rumored, was the place. Mr. Gamble-an unknown-was the star of the meet, scoring twentyf three points unassisted. He competed in eight events, running two of them with such fast runners as Beem and Vollstedt, grabbing off a good third in both tries. Gamble, however, outdid himself in the 440 high sticks, six-mile run, hammer throw, 220-yard dash, 100-yard dash, and relay. The meet proved too hard on several of the members and they fell by the wayside in a dead faint. The most notable example was Mr. Overman, winner of the twenty-yard walk. He was pressed hard by Barrow, Martini and Sanchez, but finished first, only to collapse after breaking the tape. He is now suffering from a nervous breakdown. Records were smashed right and left during the afternoon's festivities. f'Bud Nightingale set records in the shotput with a tremendous heave of fiftyrfive flat feet. She also negotiated the 880 in l 1022, although she appeared out of form. Call, as per usual, set a new record of 201 feet in the javelin and stormed through the mile in 4:34. Nurmi Ford ran the two-mile with much noise and less or more speed. As usual, he was hard to start, but once he got going, was hard to stop. Ford's form was poor, but Hawkins' form in the low sticks and the pole vault was enough to make a strong man break down and weep. The low barriers were won by Willianis, because Lobanoff, the only other competitor, fell on the first, second, third, fourth and fifth hurdles, and got up to knock down the sixth. The official starter, Elliott, timed her-.at 54:00 flat. Just as Rohr was announcing Chandler the winner of the broad jump, Davidson came dashing around the last curve to finish in a dead heat with Thompson in the three-mile walk. ' At the completion of the meet, all jaunted to Chandler Hall for rubdowns and showers, after that they had tea with Japanese wafers. Of course, something had to mar the day. Barrow and Bredberg were tardy, and at this late hour had just arrived on the scene. Both were sent to the attendance office, and from there were told to report at the vice-principal's hovel. A good time was had by all. if 1' 45 She went to dad and asked him for A brand-new sealskin coat, Said father: Seals won't do at all, And then he got her goat. 51101
