The second annual track meet held on the board track outside of the gymnasium with an added feature of interfraternity relay races proved a source of much interest the afternoon of Saturday, March 27. Smith'12 was the individual star of the meet by his work in winning the 40-yard dash and getting second in the 40-yard hurdles, while Palmer '11 in running on the sophomore relay team and a few minutes later winning the half-mile, was second in prominence.
The sophomore relay team broke all records for the track and lapped the freshmen. The half-mile and mile were unusually close finishes. In the former Palmer '11 just nosed out Sanderson ' 11, the limit man in the handicaps, on the last turn; while in the mile, Bull 'l0 was almost beaten by the finishing sprint of Abbott '11. Summary:
