Taking into consideration the cold weather and heavy track, the showing made by the Freshmen in their annual track meet yesterday was very creditable. The performances of Tower in the sprints and those of Carter in the mile and two-mile were the features of the afternoon. Stone ran a very pretty race in the half, winning his event with ease after a well-timed sprint at the finish.
The field events were run off in the baseball cage, where Camp exhibited good form as a pole-vaulter. There were no star performances in the other events, however, but this is due to the fact that the conditions attending indoor work were not the best.
