NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Yesterday's Interclass Track Meet was won by the class of 1915 by the narrow margin of 2 1-2 points, (45-42 1-2), over the class of 1914. The Freshmen, with only 3 points, took last place. The most exciting race of the afternoon was the two-mile run, in which R. St. B. Boyd '14 and F. H. Blackman '14 ran a "dual" race, the former winning by inches over the latter, who in turn was about '75 or 100 yards ahead of C. Southworth '15, the next man. In the 440-yard dash W. A. Barron, Jr., '14, ran a beautiful race, securing a small lead at the start which he gradually increased, finishing up with a strong sprint at the finish about six yards ahead of the second man, F. W. Capper '15.

Although the times were not exceptionally fast, they indicate that the team will be well balanced, there being several consistent performers in each event.
