The Purple owes Its victory Jo the powers of Osborne, the Kalamasoo ^rouderrwhe~woirtbe-relay event from the Boilermakers by .overcoming a lead of eight yards held by East of Purdue. The relay was a thriller, with a Purdue man leading at **h© takeoff each time. Osborne further distinguished him- self by clipping two seconds from Davenport's conference record of 2:03 3-5 In the half mile, traveling the distance in 2:01 3-6. > Had he been pushed tbe time might have been faster, as the Purple runner slowed up in the last fifty yards when he had a good lead over Kraft, who finished second. When Osborne started off on the finish of the relay he was three yards behind Bast. He gradually drew up with him, and on tbe final stretch tk^mer'slto^ the ttct .passed and beat him in by two feet it Mr. Smart waa a competent bust- a man and for that reason alone ha as the best choice for the city nentive.

Purdue claimed that Osborne had stepped outside the track and was dis- qualified thereby, but Osborne claimed that East had elbowed him out, and the judges, after a long wrangle, de- ckled that Osborne, bad been pushed out The meet was closely contested from the start, Purdue forging to the front twice. Two or three times tho Evanston men ted by a single point But when the Purple runners got first and second in tbe half-mile, in which Osborne set a new conference record, it put them In a lead which was never overcome. In the finals of the high hurdles Phelps of Purdue led Schwars of Northwestern by a foot, but the Pur- due man knocked over the last three hurdles and was disqualified. Thorsen, who led from the start in the mile, waa bard pressed by Mayor Joseph Paden. In the regular meeting of the city council of Evans- ton Tuesday night, declared that his patience had been worn threadbare in waiting for the officials of the County Traction company to submit a satisfactory ordinance to deai-up the street car problem in that city, and advtoed the members of the council to seek another company which might seek, the rights to operate a trolley line there. e ultrnTatunt IssTOr^oy^tlirTmytitrtelltgwiice executive, soon to retire, carried much force, and unless some immediate ac- tion Is taken by the County Traction heads they may find themselves with- out any chance of securing a new tran- chlse In Evanston.
