tiota Theta PMastovening sprung a
complete surprise by ,vylnnlng the an
nual univorsfty Intern-fraternity Indoor
athletic meet. By taking 27 points
tlio Bqtaa won .a victory over their
competitors in a gamo which was'
marKefl. by close contests throughout
Alpha Theta Chi took ' second place
with 25 1-3 points, while Delta Upsilon
third by 19 1-3 sdor.es. .
Tho meet was dull at.tho start, its
only feature at flrs't being tho unex
pected strength of Beta Theta Pi,
which had -not been doped to win a
goading .place, .When seven of. the ninq
events had been finished tho Betas led
tho score with a total of 21 points,
Delta, Upsilon having 17 l-3f and Alpha
Theta Chi 9 1-3. Tho latter fraternity
showed less strength tlirin had boon
expected and was evidently out of the.
race.
, Jn the eighth event, the relay race,
Alpha Theta Chi ran a sensational
sprint, talcing first place, with Beta
second. With Beta having 27 points
and Alpha Thqta Chi 19 1-3, tho latter
fraternity had a chance to win the
meet by taking first In tho tug-of-war.
