This meet was held at W'ashington Park in Chicago and was run over the three-mile distance. Notre Dame defeated the Purple long distance runners, I5-45 when the Irish and the Wildcats met at Evanston. Several weeks later, however, the North- western men finished more men than Purdue to win this dual meet, 24-31, and a week after that Indiana came to Evanston to reverse the situation and scorefa win over the local squad. The cross country season came to a conclusion at the Big Ten conference meet at Ann Arbor, the home team finishing eighth when the last runner straggled home. james Moring was the only man to win a major letter in the 1927 season. The rest of the team was composed of I. R. johnson, R. Wolf, Golby, Morey Hecht, and A. Cleaver. Nine freshmen were awarded'numerals for the sport and Coach Prank Hill, harrier coach, feels more optimistic concerning the next season. 4 A N28 Track Season 1 The score was 41-4o up to the time for the one-mile relay.

r- S Y L L A B U .y i s DROEGEMUELLER, Captain RETTIG HERMANSEN BAGGE Displaying the same run-to-win attitude that characterized Northwestern trackmen in previous meets, another dual contest was pulled from the fire when a defeat over Purdue was registered, 41-4o. Starting the season with a team that was not overly rated in the pre-season dope, two rather sensational victories had already been gained. , The first event of the evening started the Purple scoring, Wilkins and Ware getting first and third, respectively in the 440-yard dash. Wilkins is one of the fastest members of Northwestern's sensational relay team and performed con- sistently at high speed the entire season. Wilkins ran third to Bloomberg, N. U. in the 440 and Gorby and Bloomberg annexed the first and second places in the 880 yard run. Wolf, anchor man onthe medley relay team took second place in the mile run and Moring, long distance man, came in third in the two mile event. Morris placed second in the high hurdles. Pmagge, Acher and Sinkler again made a clean sweep of the shot putand maintained the Purple reputation of consistent strength in the field events. ' Droegemueller was not pushed to win the pole vault at 12' 9 producing the taken-for-granted five points in this part of the program. Rettig tied with Hoff- man of Purdue in the high jump, dividing the first and second place points and bringing the scoring to an end. , The Conference meet entrants saw William Droegemueller, Northwestern captain, set a new collegiate indoor dirt floor pole Vaulting record pushing himself over the height of 13' 2M . Bagge was fourth in the shot put with a throw of 43' QM . John Gorby was third in the 880-yard run. - Droegemueller set a new Illinois relay record at Champaign with 13' M for the Vaulting event. And the relay team ended the indoor season, winning third place. ' T R A C K One Hundred Thirly-four 2 ' ls. '.' '- A MG: .- . 1 ,. ,gp E- 1
