Janies Choate took part in the 5O-yd and 220-yd sprints, broad jum p, shotput and the relay. In the 220-yd event he qualified for the finals, and took sec ond in the broad jump, jum ping 20ft, 4 in. Axel Johnson took part in the high hurdles and took second in the academic events. Clarence Edwards qualified for the finals, but lost out in the 50-yd academic. Altogether we made five points in the ’varsity events and three in the academic, standing fifth in the number of points. Two hundred and fifty of the best athletes of the coast took part in this meet and in many of the events there were so many contestants, and it was apparently so crowded, that individual supremacy did not appear to count. Albert Spearson was the most feared man in his event and in consequence an united effort was put forth by the other contestants to defeat him. He was boxed in and finally tripped, which lost him the chance of winning the race. The officials in this track meet failed to enforce the rules that govern these meets and there was too much unsportsman-like conduct on the part of contestants. CHEMAWA VS. O. A. C. FRESHMEN Driving a two-base hit over left field with two men on bases Wagner won the game for O. A. C. here last Saturday afternoon, 4 to 3. Chemawa put up a good brand of ball for the first game of the season. It looked like our game till the first half of the ninth inning when Bettles walked two men who scored on W agner’s long hit. Joe pitched a wonderful ball and had more on it than the cover, sending eighteen men back to warm the bench, while Jenstel, pitching for O.A .C., has eight to his credit. Mr. James umpired the game. N ext Saturday Pacific University will play here. DOMESTIC SCIENCE NOTES Miss Ola Fairweather is rejoicing to be with her class again.
