It was the official inaug- ural of the outdoor track season in the middlewest, and crack athletics of three conferences, the Big Ten, Missouri Valley and Southwestern, were thrown into the lists, but -with- out avail. The only record to go was in the discus throw, in which Howell, Okla- homa university, set a new record of 141 feet 9 inches, downing the favorite, Baldwin of Texas, whose heave of 141 feet 7 inches also was better than the old record of 141 feet 4 3-4 inches, made by Rinefort of Grinncll last year. Purple Dominates Relays Northwestern dominated the re- lays, collecting nine points by win- ning a first, and tying for another. Missouri collected 8 1-2 points by Illinois totaled eight points in the relays, while the Texas Aggies and Kansas got seven each. Many crack relay teams, chosen as favorites, fell down. The two mile, which had been conceded to Iowa State with two teams entered, went instead to Missouri, when the staunch Epstein swept by Caulum in the final stretch to force the favorites into second place. The time was 8:03. The quarter mile ran true to form as Kansas and the Texas Aggies staged a great battle for fir’ place, victory going to Kansas use of the thrilling finish staged by Grady, century flash. Iowa, the favored team, bowed to Northwestern in the mile, it being the second relay defeat of the year before the Iowans, who fell once before the Texas Aggies at the Rice relays.

In 1926, he won 27 games while losing 11 and nearly pitched his club to another pennant. The Yan- kees’ lead, iled up early in the sea- son, proved just too much of an ad- vantage to be overcome. The season of 1927, however, told another story and Uhle’s record showed only eight victories against nine defeats. He pitched only 10 complete games as compared with 82 the previous year.

Jones allowed but five hits. Stephenson smashed out three hits and scored the winning tally in the eighth. when he tripled and came home on a sacrifice fly by Butler. The Pirates protested that under the ground rules Riggs’ hit should have been frond for only two bases. Johnny Miljus started and finished for the Corsairr.
