FIRST NOVICE TRACK MEET

The novice meet in Alumni Gymnasium, although furnishing several close contests, failed in general to bring to light any men of varsity calibre. The time of the races was slow and a poor showing was made in the field events. P. D. Smith '15, L. F. Pfingstag, R. S. Townsend, and D. S. Stillman '16, made creditable' performances in their respective events and may develop into varsity material.

Throughout March indoor handicap meets were held every Saturday afternoon. All track and field events were included, and in addition all events for novices. On March 15 an interclass relay championship was run and on the following Saturday, heats of an interfraternity championship. The special feature of the meet on March 29, was the finals of the Inter fraternity relay race. Relay teams were composed of four men, each man running one lap.

Gold, silver, and bronze medals were given to point winners in each division. These sections consisted of sprints up to 440 yards, all distance events above 440 yards, all jumps, hurdles, and weights. A novice gaining first, second or third place in the novice events then entered the handicap events. His points won as a novice were counted in the handicap contest, but no novice was entitled to a medal.
