Minot 1L. to the candidates of the University track team in the hurdles, high jump or pole-vault, and weight events, showing the greatest "general merit" during the season, were awarded yesterday by Captain L. P. Dodge '08, Coaches Lathrop and Quinn, and the donor. The cup for the hurdler was given to W. M. Rand '09, for the high jumper or pole-vaulter to S. C. Lawrence '10 in the pole-vault, and for the shot-putter or hammer-thrower to L. W. Bangs '08 in the shot...
