I. F. IVICKIE Captain Track Team Q l' RACK ATHLETICS. For the last two years an unusual amount of interest has been taken in track athletics and during this period Tarkio has produced her best track team. Every college record with the exception of one has been broken in the last three years. These records com- pare well with many of the records of our large institutions, where there is a greater num- ber from which to pick a team. Tarkio has reason to be proud of her running events. The l0O-yard, the 220-yard and the mile are especially good, However, the high jump is not up to what it should be. Moyle and Elder have made several good records. It is too early to state much concerning this year's team. Arrangements are being made for a meet with Doanelt sometime in May and a strong team is promised. In the field events we will have practically the same men as last year. New material must how- ever be developed for the running events. With the loss of Moyle and Elder the team will be handicapped in those events. The old men of last year's team are Captain Mc- Kie, Eerrier, Smith, Stewart, and Cunningham. Interest is being shown in the work and a number of new men are out and are taking systematic training. This is one of the features of the work which is sought and should always be encouraged, if Tarkio expects to hold a good place in track athletics. fltDoane-Tarkio track meet, held May 12, 1906.

1' . .,........ S is BASEBALL. .N I .,,1-hif i E.. When the days are brightening and a fellow knows that the college year is drawing to a close, he feels that he must shift the responsibility of running the institution through the spring term to the Seniors and the Faculty. ' Now there are many ways that the student may throw away this care. It :ray be flying out of the window with his books, he may bend bows and like William Tell pierce the apple cf fate, or he may find it to his enjoyment to hurl it through the air in the shape of a baseball. Cn the diamond he finds the friends of his earlier days in the shape of a winged instrument for thelair-the bat, the bases' for the feet that may never reach E them, the heavy winter mittens to save the hands from the tender care of the ostecpath and the cage to preserve the facial expression of the catcher. Who has not been affected by the tragedy Casey at the Bat? Yet this is a true baseball spirit. It is a Comedy of Errors or a series of uncertain- ties in which the hero of one garce rray be the lobster of the next, the championship team of one year may be the tail-encler of the next. It is one of these uncertainties to which may be ac- credited the lack of interest and rraterial in our institution in the last two or three years. Tarkio has turned out severalwinning teanfs, for exafrple the championship team of the lVlissouri Valley in '95. However, within the past few seasons we have had several excellent players. Cusack, catcher on the ,03 team, was a wonder. l-lis throwing to second was above the ,average rran with the umittf' Also lVlcCrory, our crack pitcher and catcher for the last two vears, was a player of prominence in the Eastern high schools, but on account of sickness last summer did not return in the fall. The outlook for this season, however, is verv promising. Several hiqh school players are in college and much interest is being shown among the followers of the game. It is a well known fact that small colleges are not able to produce every season winning teams in all the different branches of sport. It seems to be a rule that one branch will prove to be a favorite, consequently there is a lack of interest shown in the other lines. Similar conditions have existed in our large institutions, and so there is hope for ours. Varied sports are necessary because students have different cauabilities. Wfe do not find rnanv men who can represent their college in all branches. Thus there should be some kind of sport within the reach of every student who has the inclinatcn to take aivantace of the benefits and pleasures derived from athletics. The aim should be to balance the different lines as well as possible. While an absolutely perfect system is never found in any institution, yet it is a goal toward which we should work and the approxitraton cf which should do .honor to our college.
