Campus by the track team, while the other members of the school roamed through the University buildings, attended the exercises in the chapel and took in the free trolley ride to the University farm. 1liPromptly at 2:30 the field day sports began in Nebraska Field. The boys surprised both their friends and themselves by their good work and when the result of the contest showed that we had won the day, their joy was unbounded. Had it not been for the inexpcrience of a couple of our members and the extreme modesty of one other the totals to our credit would have been some half dozen larger. As it was we made thirty-three points and headed the list, which was glory enough for one day. 1lThe high schools of Beatrice, Crete, Fairbury, Hastings, Hebron, Seward and York entered the con- test. The first event was a one hundred yard dash. In this there were three heats. The first was won by Blaine Wildman in 1.0 3-5 seconds, but in the final he came out what seemed to be an inch behind McCullough of Fairbury. The result for York was Wildman second and Roy Wilkins third. 9, The pole vault was stubbornly contested between Willie Mead and Graham of Urete. After both had become worn out in trying to raise the High mark, although Mead was in the better form, the result was submitted to arbitration and Mead won for Yorkg distance, feet. fl In the half mile run Blaine Castile was an easy winner. No one had ever suspected that Blaine could go any faster than a walk and his great powers as a runner furnish a striking illustration of the fact that the best way to find out what is in a man is to try him. In the twelve pound shot put is where Bob Taylor's excessive modesty did York up. Although entered for this event, he did not have enough faith in his powers to take part, although his friends know that he could have put that shot over the moon if he had tried. In the one lmndred and twenty yard hurdle Burdette Provost stopped within a few feet ot the goal, thinking he had finished and York was tlms shut out of this event. York made no serious effort to win the four hundred and forty yard run, reserving the best runners for later events. 1lIn the rmming Iligh jump, Emmett Osborn carried off third place, making five feet six inches. The two hundred and twenty yard dash was the hardest contested race of the day. M cilullough of Fairbury, who had won two heats of the one hundred yard dash was pitted against Wildman and Wilkins. By a supreme effort Blaine crossed the line first and Boy followed a close third behind Mclfnllough. The time was 24 4-5 seconds. 1IThe one mile run which came next had several comical features. At the outset Castile led off at a rapid pace and was soon several rods ahead of his competitors. He and Butterfield had formed a plan to take turns in leading on their competitors, hoping to wear them out. But the other fellows refused to be led on. And when Castile dropped behind to give Butterfield a chance, Lee of Beatrice went ahead and kept the lead till the finish. Toward the close Castile concluded he could walk for third place, but a Crete man slipped up behind him and befoie Blaine could recover himself, the place was lost. Butterfield captured second place. Time, 5:57. 1111 the twelve pound ham- mer throw York had no entries. flln the two hundred and twenty yaid hmdle Joe Runner captured second place for York. Time, 295. 1i'The running broad jump resulted in third place for York, taken also by Joe Runner. 1lThe one-half mile relay race, the last event of the day, was also the prettiest one. It was entered by teams of four from Beatrice, Crete and York. Our team consisted of Blaine Castile, Burdette Yiovost, Blaine Wildman and Roy Wil- kins. This was Won bythe York team, Blaine Wiltliiiaii crossing the line in 1:54. As all four of the members con- tributed to the result of the relay race, this closing event brought it about that each member of the school who had taken part in the athletic contests of the day had added some points to the total which brought victory to the banners of the High school.
