They won and incidentally set a brand new record for the future contestants in the Vancouver relays to beat, Any team that can clip sixteen seconds off a long standing record has got to get up and move pretty fast and that is just what our quartet of runners did. . Jim Oliver and George Little Light held their own with the field in the 2:20-yard dashes and Wil liam Wall ‘followed with the 440-yard dash and John Frenier, our cross-country runner who has repeatedly done real business in that event this spring, finished that spectacular event, with a burst of speed and in a blaze of glory,'so to speak. John’s burst of speed was the talk of the carnival. John started his 880- yard run with a sprint, so it seems, and the crowd in attendance as well as the mass of contestants, expect ed to see him'collapse after the first quarter-mile, but John carried on and really opened up on the final hundred yards with a sprint that amazed all. In addition to the individual medals the boys brought home a beautiful silver loving cup to be added to tour large collection of trophies. In a most proper and fitting way Superintendent Lipps presented'the medals to our runners before the entire assembly last Sunday evening. And as he pinned the medal on each one he shook his hand and complimented him heartily on the splendid effort he made and congratulated the team on a really fine achievement. Before he allowed them to return to their seats he implored them to put that same enthu siasm and energy in their life work, and success would surely be theirs. The big audience heartily approved the tribute he paid each of these athletes and applaud ed and cheered each one loudly and long. And all drank in that portion of encouragment and advice that was meant for. them as he told in short of the Battle of Marathon and the Trophies of Miltiades, In short, it was a most memorable event and will linger long in the minds of those present. The bringing home of this cup reminds us of an interesting incident that took place at one of our ath letic banquets a few years ago. When called upon for a few remarks in keeping with the affair, Coach Sanders rose and pointing to a large collection of tro phies, said: “ There they are, boys, go and get some more.” The boys have been collecting, and now that it is a privilege to compete with those of our own calibre and class we know that more will get out and make records that will stand and be recognized as official just as these four have done. The rain and mud robbed us of another baseball game and a track meet last week. Anyhow, the boys have not been marking time and the work-outs have revealed the possibilities in a few changes. Alonzo Hoover, who has been chasing fly balls in the outfield all season, has been placed on first base where it appears he rightfully belongs. Hoover looks perfectly at ease around the first sack and seems to do every thing naturally. Just'fiow it would seem that he has definitely replaced joe Alexander, whdhas been drafted into our pitching department, where we are just a little weak. Joe -not only looks and acts like a pitcher, but he has something on the ball, and more than that, something on his shoulders which he uses. Marcus Simmons has been doing unusually well at short con sidering this is his first attempt, but he has,been shifted to center field to take the place left by Alonzo. El dred George will do our short stopping when he is not in the box. So with Alexander, Goudy and Eldred George to do our twirling we should be able to hold the opposing batters in check. - The many practice games held has enabled our stickers to get their eye on the hall under “ game ’ ’.. conditions and during the past week they, have done some effective hitting. Not only have a few improved, but the entire squad is coming along rapidly. George and Clifford Meachem were entered in the Vancouver relays in the discus and javelin respectively, Although they did not place, both did well even if they; experienced some ill luck in their best attempts.
