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

l.cft to Rtght: O'l-cary, Rochcl, II. Maguire. Martin Clark. Cross-iTountrv several years cross-country running lias been gaining favor in the affaraw Kansas Conference. Last year there was a concerted movement towards a-S; v£l making it a conference s| ort. Upon hearing this the athletic hoard of St. Mary’s, with their usual foresight..arranged a competition between the students in order to develop any running material that might he in the school and to build up candidates for the Varsity Track Squad in the spring. With this beginning last year a further step was arranged this year. Several meets were scheduled hut due to a mistake in the eligibility list all of them hut one were cancelled. The trials to select a five-man team were held on the afternoon of Monday, (October 28. Nine men started, including the first, second and third place winners of last year’s race. Joe Kochel. who copped the honors last year, was the first man to breast the tape. Mis time for the distance grind was 12:24. several seconds better than last year’s record. The next four to finish together with their times were: Martin Clarke. 12:53; Joe O'Leary, 12:4 ; Robert Heffernan, 12:52. and Henry Maguire. 12:53. These men by reason of their splendid work in the trial were selected to run against Baker in a meet held between halves of the St. Mary’s —Washburn grid classic as an added feature of the Home-Coming celebration. Three Baker men crossed the line before Kochel and O’Leary, the first St. Mary’s men to finish, so Baker easily copped the event. )ur runners deserve the praise of being pioneers and it is hoped that following their example there will be many more engaged in this sport next year.
