A .veritable cloudburst deluged the f ield.-Torrents of water poured from the clouds and the track became a mill pond on which a , canoe race would have looked more in keeping than V quarter mile run. Spectators - were huddled into the grandstand like sheep in a pen. They gathered in th most remote corner, but this precaution was not enough to present several pretty coeds from a ducking. A cold wind sprang up, but there was nothing to do but brave the elements and there Was no reason to complain. - . Good for Water Sports. . ' The track suits of the athletes made their appearance in keeping with the conditions', but a swhmning race or game of water polo might have been anticipated by an unexpected visitor, who did not know what all the fuss was about. : .'Such a thing as record breaking became an absolute imposibility. The runners had to splash about in the mud and water. The weight men put the shot into puddles and splashed a muddy spray over the officials. Attempts were made, to dodge the showers but Jupiter Pluvus was not to bo denied his day. He gave the greatest exhibition of any contest and was awarded the medal, although not the cup that was' bestowed upon the Earlham team. , In order that all events might be completed, when the field was inundated, the track was dug up. Takeoff boards for the jumps were planted on the cinder path. Barrels of sawdust were dumped about to. provide a soft landing place for the vaulters and high jumpers. The wind that howled across the field picked up huge pieces of sheet iron that had been used to cover the whitewash rings of the hammer throwers and shot putters and blew them about the field. The lightning slg-zagged back and forth across the heavens and the thunder roared while mow and then a coed sighed audibly and wished she were In Earlham. Hall with her head under the pillow. Good Me Spoiled. It was a good meet that would have been had not the same weather man that spoiled the inauguration.; ceremonies mixed his dope : again.. The erowd was not as large as the meet

99 conditions had been responsible for that fact. ' The meet soon resolved into a dual contest between Wabash and Earlham. The State Norma! Te.am had entered and several good athletes were expected from Terre Haute. The team did not appear, however, and no word assigning, a reason was received. The time of begining was delayed in the hope of the late arrival of the Normalities but they staid away. Earlham showed up strong in the dashes, mile, hurdles and discus. Wabash men fell down in some of the contests they had expected to win. In his feature exhibition Grave broke the world's record by more than seven inches. The previous record for the standing hop. step, jump had been thirty feet four Inches. Grave equaled this on his first trial. On another tritl he cleared 31 and eight-hundredths feet. It was a remarkable performance. The athlete tried several other times but failed to equal this mark. Grave is a member of the Earlham faculty. When a student at Earlham he was one of the athletic stars. After leaving Earlham he attended Johns Hopkins University. His work yesterday won for him a place in the athletic hall of fame. . A Pretty Race. For the first ninety yards the hundred yard dash was a pretty race. Conrad was pulling ahead by a few inches and with a splendid burst of speed pulled out to a safe distance and then slackened his pace. By this way of running he saved his strength, but added at least 2-5 of a second to his time for the distance. The 120 yard hurdle offered one of the prettiest contests of the meet. The hurdles had to be blocked with bricks as the wind toppled them over like a row of dominoes. Delman made fast time but his race was marred by . the way in which he knocked down the hurdles. White took the obstacles in beautiful form. He knocken over the next to the last and Delman put down the last four. He overturned fully half of the hurdles. He is a remarkable runner in this event. The 0 yard run was the first event to be pulled off during the rain. Branigan won Franklin's only first by a magnificent sprint from the 200 yard mark. He had been trailing in fourth place up to this point. He went around the three men ahead of him and by a display of magnificent nerve and ex cellent running drew away from the whole bunch. Winslow fought hard for Earlham but could not draw up. . Conrad Stars Again. Conrad again appeared In the leadership when he took the 220 yard- dash with ease. , Adispute arose between the judges and it was announced first that Brown of Earlham had finished second and Johnson, of Wabash third. Wa bash entered a protest as it appeared to officials who were not judges of the finish, but were watching the tape, that Johnson beat Brown put by a few Inches. Upon the protest the Judges reconsidered their action and gave the Wabash runner second honors. Winslow proved the candy mudlark and took the mile run without much trouble. It was slip-slop every step of the way and the four trips around the track seemed like a race with death. The Earlham runner was there with the goods, however, and delivered the package so well wrapped up he could not be tagged. Kingery made a pretty finish for Wabash but did not have the stamina to evertake his fleet footed pace maker. A surprise came in the quarter mile, when Deming. the Wabash star defeated Brown of Earlham by a. very close margin. The Earlham runner has shown form this season that stamps him as one of the Quaker's most valuable men. Deming had expected an easy . victory but had to do his utmost to take the ribbon. But One' Contestant. -, There was but one contestant in the 220 yard hurdle. There were others entered in the race and they covered the distance, but White was so far in the lead that the others could not be seen coming. - - . .

justified, but the threatening weather Earlham made a big killing in the discus throw. The Quokers had not expected anything so good as the first place and there was a big surprise when they took first and second. Brown, of Wabash, who holds th-a league record did not succeed in qualifying. He could not hold the discus to make even a fair hurl. There was nothing spectacular, although the event was completed before the rain fell. After Conrad and Maier had cleared 5 feet 6 inches in the high jump, none of their opponents went that distance. Thereupon the Earlhamites split the first and second place points. Hargrave and Hessler tied for third with Root, of Rose Polytechnic and Babcock of Franklin for third. The Wabash entries were given one-half of one point and the other men each one-fourth. Wabash's strong man, Brown, had no difficulty In taking first in the shot put. He made his points and mark in the qualifying rounds. After doing poorly in the early rounds. Sandaw, of Rose showed up well in the finals. Pennington, of Earlham, had no trouble in taking third. Once more Conrad showed his ability as an athlete in the broad jump. The Earlhamite was the only man to pass the 20 foot mark. Cohee secured first in the hammer throw without breaking a record. The wet ground impaired his throwing. In the pole vault. Starbuck of Wabash was in a class to himself.

Papke knocked out Kelly today in the first round, after one minute and forty seconds of fighting. It was a big surprise as the men were considered! evenly matched. Papke was an 8 to 10 favorite. The attendance was fifteen thousand. Papke forced the fighting from the . start' in a cyclone style. Papke landed fierce rights and lefts to the jaw, putting Kelly to the floor for the count of nine, with a dep gash over his right eye. Kelly . came up groggy and Papke felled him like an ox with a right hand to, the chin. Kelly's head struck the floor with a hollow sound and he lay silent until counted out. Meanwhile blood flowed freely from the cut over the eye. I rvC

The worthy Admiral Schlei tossed out all the sand bags and gave a" wonderful exhibition of how not to play the catcher's position. He had five or six chances to throw the ball to second base. Twice he threw into centerfield and the other times he merely broke Larry Doyle's heart. The Germans hit the ball when hits counted and with the kind assistance of their old team mate managed to nose out in a close finish. It was a hard game for Ames to lose. Score: R. H. E.
