SCANT MARGIN SEPARATES TEAMS

Delphi Winner, Monticello Second and Rensselaer Third in Track Meet Saturday. * * ' The small margin of 5 1-3 separated Delphi, the three-time winner of the triangular track and field meet, from Rensselaer, who finished in third place for the third straight time. The meet was a beauty and at one stage or other during the contest each of the three teams slipped into the van. A wonderful drive in the final events of the meet 'almost won for Rnsse•liaer, but the lead of the visiting teams was too great for her to overcome. Another second place position for the locals and she would have finished second. An additional! first place would have won the meet for the home team. The relay race went to the Carroll county men. Monticello won the oratorical! contest and Delphi added further' honors by winning the declamation contest.

John Rothrock, husky Monticello athlete, won the individual honors of the day by scoring seventeen points for his school. Wilson, of Delphi, last year’s individual honors, allowed the 'honor to slip from his grasp by failing at the wayside in the broad jump. The final score of the meet was: Delphi 35 2-3, Monticello 33, and Rensselaer 30 1-3.

A good sized crowd was on hand for the meet. The day was not of the best as a chilly wind swept across the campus, preventing the athletes from doing their best work. The meat was excellently handled by Murray, of Chicago, and Thurber, of Purdue, assisted by St. Joseph's men. The opening event of the day was the fifty yard dash. All dashes were run in heats. The final heat found Swaim and Crooks, of Rensselaer, battling with Rothrock, of Monticello. The Monticello speeder breasted the tape first, with Swaim in second place and Crooks trailing.

Relay race won by Delphi. —„ The prettiest event of the day, as well as the most spectacular, was the 220 yard low hurdle® race. Swaim galloped over the sticks in 31 3-5, repeating his winning lyferformahce of last year. Three years ago Glenn Swaim took this evxent, which has so far been kept in the family circle. McClure fell on the first turn when he tripped over a hurdle, but gamely got up and finished and when his mate, Kirkpatrick, fell on the last turn he slipped into second place, considerably 'back of the speeding Swaim. There was no doubt as to the superiority of Swaim, who by the time Kirkpatrick had fallen had caught the Delphi racer, who was given a hahdiicap as he had the outer track. Rensselaer took four firsts in the meet and tied for another. Monticello took three firsts and Delphi did likewise. Guild, in the 440, Gourley, in the 'Shot put, Swaim in the hurdles and Pullins in the (broad jump were first place, winners, while Hemphill tried in the pole vault. The inability of Crooks to come up to the form expected of him in the high jump was all that kept Rensselaer from winning. . Although Rensselaer finished third, the defeat was not a disgrace and the three teams entered in the meet were as evenly balanced as it was

possible to make them. A little more strength on the part of the locals would have taken the meet—but, what’s the use, it wasn’t there.

Flower Thieves Are Busy— Contemptible Kind of Thief.

Flower thieves are again busy in Rensselaer, having made their first appearance on last Saturday night at the home of Mrs. John Zimmerman on north Cullen street. This practice by this jsort of contemptible thieves is anannual affair and the first offender caught should be made an example of. Mrs. Zimmerman stated to The Republican that her flower beds of tulips and Easter lilies had suffered severely from the depredations of the petty thieves. Mrs. Zimmerman takes much pride in the care of her yard and flower beds and has one of the prettiest yards in the city and it is a shame that any person is so thoughtless as to destroy the flowers over which so much care has been taken and so much time spent and believe that this notice should serve to .arouse enough sh’ame in the 'guilty parties to prevent them from repeating the act.
