gg, SYLLABUS ii Conference Meet June 2, I 906 . The sixth annual meet of the Inter-Collegiate Conference Athletic Association was held on Northwestern Field June 2, IQO6. Under the direction of Tom Holland, the field had been put into fine shape, and almost ideal weather made prospects bright for an exceptionally good meet. The track is by far the widest and best in the west, and the 220 yard straightaway is an unusual feature. Seventeen colleges from the Middle West were represented by two hundred and twenty- eight athletes and the west bleachers were crowded with spectators. Two college bands, our own and that of Purdue, paraded the football Held before the first event. They later occupied the east bleachers. The first event was the 120-yard hurdle race, in which Garrels of Michigan won in an excit- ing finish with his running mate, Hodgen, a close second. Scarcely a yard behind was Shauver of Northwestern, who ran a wonderful race considering that he had not expected to enter until that morning and was not prepared. The time was first announced as equalling the world's record, but later it was given out as I5 2-5 seconds, one-fifth ofa second slower. Hamilton of Iowa Normal showed himself to be a star by winning both the ' ' hundred and two-twenty in fair time. Coe of Michigan ran away from all competitors in the mile and allowed his team-mate, Ramey, to beat him in the half-mile. Garrels won the 220-yard hurdles in great style. The high-jump was a disappointment, five men tying for first at a poor height. The take- off for both the high and the broad jump were soft and a good performance was impossible. In the pole vault, however, Samse, of Indiana, carried away the honors of the day. He broke the world's record by a large margin and set the mark at a height that will not be touched for some time. He cleared the bar at I2 feet 4. 7-8 inches and barely missed at I2 feet 8 inches. Haggard of Drake also broke the Conference record in this event and his performance would have been remarkable had it not been for the more wonderful feat of Samse.

Shattuck Military Academy was a close second with 29 points, while Hyde Park with a two-man team was a very creditable third with IQ points. Considerable ofthe glory was hers, in fact, for Taylor walked olf with the individual honors-taking first in the century, second in the 220 dash, the 120 and 220 hurdles- making I4 points in all. Kipp of Shattuck was also a strong factor on the cinders and landed II points for his school, 5 in the 200, and 3 in both the 100 and 830. Brain, his team mate, proved a top notcher also, carrying off both the stick events. Rennacker, of Lewis Institute, tied Brain's score through his three seconds and a fourth place.
