Enthusiasm among' the men participating in track, along' with the support of the student body, was evidenced by the winning of the M. C. A. U. Conference Championship in 1934. The Owls finished third in the Conference meet last year but the spirit and determination to win still stands foremost in the mind of every member of the squad. Two M. C. A. U. records were established last year by Tarkio men, namely Henn and Bennett. Henn broke the old record, set by him the previous year, by hurling the discus a distance of 138 feet and 11 inches. Bennett's powerful legs carried him around the einder path for a mile to set a new record of 4 minutes and 30 seconds.

Matches were played with Maryville, Peru. and William Jewell. The first match 01' the season played with Maryville, resulted in a 5-2 decision for them. William Jewell was the next Tarkio opponent and nosed out the Owls 4-2. The absence of Captain Hendrick, due to illness, seriously handicapped the Tarkio team.

As a climax to the season, St. Joseph was played on the local court, and the Owls swept seven matches in a row. Bailey Boettner and Pat Hendrick were the Tarkio participants in the state meet, but met with little success. Men who won let- ters for the 1935 season were: Captain Hendrick, Bailey Boettner, Murrell Cline, Don- ald Cunningham, and Joe Woodruff.
