A few weeks ago because of rainy weather, the upper field was too muddy to practice on, but the lower
field, which has a slightly better stan~ ?f grass, was in good enough
c?ndttlon, so Mr. Gannaway moved hts charges down below with the track squad. After a few minutes of that kind of stuff, we began to wonder how they got along four years ago when both teams were
practicing every day down there. It must have been a remarkable thing the routine day on Johnson Field. '
One of the main drawbacks to the plan now, if it were necessary, would be the way Freddy Carring-
ton goes berserk every time he gets a javelin in his hands. Of course, he wasn't throwing it then, or if
he was, he wasn't able to throw it

April 23.-Although they got more competition than they did last Friday, the Bishops toppled Fork Union Military Academy 76 2-3 to

events of the meet, causing it to end in a swimming finish.
