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

Orianijutar Mteet X MOXD.W . May 9th, St. Mary’s was host to Kansas Wesleyan of Salina and , 1 Lindsey’s Bethany Swedes from Lindsborg in a triangular meet. The W'esleyans were first with . » points, Bethany second with 41' 2 points, and St. Mary’s a very close third with points. The meet was held in the face of a high wind and dust storm and the marks made were quite good considering this disadvantage. Of special note was the high jump event. Isaacson, the Kansas Wesleyan husky, whose fame on the gridiron, has often been broadcast, was the high point man and individual star of the meet. He took first place in the hundred yard dash, the 220, the broad jump, the javelin throw and second place in the discus, besides running anchor position for the winning Wesleyan relay team. Isaacson weighs 185 pounds and has an ideal build for an all round athlete. The Bethany and St. Mary’s teams put up a determined fight for second place but the high jump finally broke a tie and gave the former its slim margin. This meet was just a little too dusty and windy to please the spectators and participants. The local athletes showed decided improvement since the home crowd had witnessed their engagement with Washburn two weeks before. Considering this improvement together with the fact that only two men will be lost by graduation, the prospects for a good track team next year are very bright. One Hundred Sixty-three
