The scbr'e of 102 to 33 do'es? not itidibale the relative'Strength of the two team's'. In every track event the’; Collegians were forced to exert’ "themselves' in Order to win; and on mah'y- occasions won only'by inches.' They were also lucky in the choice of lanes, and.gettjng, better-starts than our boys. As usual, in a track meet, there was a surprise; Bill Johnson, who before the meet was placed as third best man in the team, proved to be the high ppint man for Cliemay/a, with eight and one-third point? to to his credit. Capt. Bettles was second with seven and one-third points. 1 1 , ‘ Our relây team, Boyce, Ogden, Jack Johnson and Bill Johnson, gave a pretty'Exhibition in running, only to lose:bÿ less than a foot. Had it not been 'for Rousselie being out of the team through injury the result of the race would have been different. , Considering the material we < have, Coach /Banders did well to mold out a team that was able to Score on the Collegians, who were more experienced than otir boys. Betties is the only one in our team who has had ¡a little experience on the track. This is thp; first time in the history of, our school that .Chemawa ,was repre sented by a set of real young boys, average i ^ge being 17 vears, and they went against much older ^.nd moré experienced men.'

This mean's that I shall have to stay within the bounds of our company street, for the aforesaid length of time.

It means that-we will not have any recreation for this length of timé,’but I can easily forego the amusements that may -be found around here.
