Monday afternoon, June i2th, was not an ideal day for a track
meet as there was a strong wind blowing down the stretch which
made record-breaking almost an impossibility. Miles, however,
succeeded in lowering the one mile record to 4 min. 57* sec., one
and four-fifths seconds better than the record of Espenshade, '9B.
Norman, '99, tried for the ioo yds. record, but failed. Martin
tried* for the pole vault, but also failed.
The meet was a success financially, but as an inter-class meet
it was not up to the standard by a great ways. The entries failing
to respond from all classes except 'O2 making it a one-sided con
test which in the main always lacks the vim that accompanies a
hotly contested meet.
Hewitt, 'O3, surprised the crowd by developing wonderful
speed in the one hundred yards dash and the 220 yards dash,
taking second in both events. If trained he should make a win
ner for " State " in the future. The results of the events were:—
