F;eld Day Exercises Center
About University.
Rain Cause Athletics to be Post
poned-Twelve Hundred In
Parade.
The Richland county Field Day
exercises were held in Columbia
Friday. The University campus
was the center of the event and
the regular exercises of the day
were suspended after one o'clock.
Rain prevented the completion
of athletic contests.
The parade reached the cam
pus about eleven o'clock, and
marched to the gymnasium. It
had been planned to have a pic
nic dinner on the campus green,
but the continuous rain made it
necessary for the out door diners
to seek shelter. The law room
and library in Legare college,
the class rooms in DeSaussaure,
the chapel and the gymnasium
were turned into dining halls.
These places were all packed and
some were forced to the grand
stand on University field to find
a place to enjoy the baskets of
food that came from all direc-.
tions.
The athletic contests began on
the athletic field at two o'clock
and were to have continued until
4 p. m. but in a short while the.
rain made it necessary to dis
pense with this part of the pro
gram. Hyatt Park school of
Columbia won first honor in
events that took place. Albert
Mullens won first place for Hyatt
Park school in the hundred yard
dash; second place went to Heath
wood, and third place to John
Lamar of Ballentive school. In
the relay race Hyatt Park again
took first rank, Hopkins second
and Heathwood third. Hyatt's,
Park also won first honor in the:
high jumps for elementaryI
grades.
The reading contest was held
in the McMaster school building
on Pickens Street. First place
went to Olympia and Spring Hill
schools, second to Ballentine, and
third between Hyatt's Park and
Hopkins.
In spite of the rain there were
between twelve and fiften hun
dred people taking part in the ex
ercises.
It has been arranged to hold
the athletic features of the Field
