Show Track Last year's track season was rather unsuccessful, for several reasons. To begin with so many men had enlisted or had been called into the national service by the time that the track meets came around, it was a difficult matter to find men enough to fill out a team. That was bad in itself, but the men who were on hand, to make a bad matter worse, seemed unable to escape sickness for over a week at a time. So it was with a green team, for the most part, that Tommy went to Logan for the State meet, and a team, furthermore that was far from being in condition. The Aggies were not much better in either respect, but enough to take the meet. The shining light for Utah was Goodwin, who won first in the shot-put, the polevault, and the discus. Other men who showed up were Reid and Walker in the high jump, tying for first place; Parmelee, who won first in the half-mile and second in the quarter; Wing, who won the broad jump; Stewart in the hurdles, Howells in the javelin, and Simpson in the high hurdles and the broad jump.

Relay This year the outlook is more encouraging. Besides having several sure point winners from last year's team, there are a number of new men who will certainly do work of a high order, and the prospect of a winning team, while still somewhat uncertain, is yet not too much to hope for.
