RACK this season lias furnished an example of the difficulty of trving to maintain two sports at a small college, during the spring months. The difficulty arises in that baseball absorbs the greatest interest, following, and number of athletes. In spite of this the results this season were better than one would expect. With the small number that turned out for track Coach Stanley Carroll has done very nicely. The greatest handicap that he had to overcome was the absence of all of last year’s letter-men. Of the old timers on the squad, Hyland and Poos have been the best performers. They have turned in the several firsts in the weight events. Big “Hank” has even been lifting his 210 lbs. over the bar to make several points in the high jump. Brungardt has not as yet perfected a start that will put him out in front, though in the low hurdles he has been quite a sensation, easily winning that event in two meets. Wrobleski and Morriscy can clear a nice stretch of sand in the broad jump. They failed to hit their proper stride in the Washburn meet but both came through in the Ottawa meet to capture first and second. Washburn won the first meet of the season by taking 12 firsts and amassing 85 points while the Irish were gathering 45. The second meet was with Ottawa. That school won the meet in a 82-4!) victory. Poos took first in the shot-put in the Washburn meet, Hyland did likewise in the discus, and Brungardt in the low hurdles. To these were added Wrobleski’s in the broad jump and Tate’s victory in the 440, this latter in spite of the fact he donned a suit for the first time on that day. It is hoped that the improvement shown in this meet will be further noticeable in the triangular meet to he held with Bethany and Wesleyan. One llunited Sixty-one
