THE ABILENE TRACK MEET.
According to newspaper reports Pol
ytechnic College went down in hope-
less defeat in the track meet with Sim-
mons College of Abilene last Monday.
Well, the score, 83 to 33, seems to indi-
cate as much. We are not kicking,
but just want an opportunity to air the
matter a little hit. In the first place
our contract called for the meet
to be pulled off Saturday afternoon at
2 o’clock, but rain on that date prohib-
ited the meet from being held. Thus
we were released and could have re-
turned home Saturday night without
breaking our contract in the least, for
it had a rain clause guaranteeing its
the amount of expenses. But in order
to accommodate the Abilene bunch so
that they would not lose the amount
of money guaranteed, our coach and
our management agreed to remain over
until Monday morning at noon to meet
the Simmons team. When we reached
the grounds it was found that the Sim-
mons captain had three entries. After
we had accommodated them by re-
maining it would appear that they
should be willing to meet tts in a dual
meet as was expected and as was
called for. A statement from Coach
Johnston explains this phase of the
pr< >|x isitu >n.
“11 is true that under the conditions
which existed Simmons had us beaten
and could have won the meet with two
entries to each event, but we did not
go prepared to meet them under such
conditions. According to our notion
in a dual track meet a team cannot
have more than two competitors in the
same event. Rather than leave Abi-
lene without meeting Simmons, we
consented to let them have their way
about it."
The first of the fourteen events was
called at ten o’clock, and before the
last had been pulled oil all but those
entered in the event and then on the
field were ready to leave. The time in

saw—-,h-
which the ten Polytechnic men entered
fourteen events was very little over
ninety minutes.
W ith the exceptions noted Poly's
team received the nicest and most cour-
teous treatment at the hands of the
Simmons students and authorities.
One especially interesting event was
the capture of a very rare specimen of
bird, the umfbird. We caught this
freak of nature in a prairie dog hole on
one of the streets of the town of Ah
done. Any description of him cannot
the bird justice. We will give a
description of him next week. The
hoys of the team are taking time about
caring for him. It falls Coach John-
ston’s lot to care for the bird over
Sunday, when Rice will relieve him.
The queer fellow is very profuse in ex-
pressing his thanks to his keeper in his
own peculiar way. There is some-
thing very mysterious about his eyes
and hi!! that makes one love the bird |
as he would an obedient, faithful clog.
The Umfbird !s a wonder
Rice, of Polytechnic was the star
on the field, taking four firsts and one
third place.
