These pictures snapped in the stadium, show the outstanding events and performers in the first day of competition.  At the upper left, an alert photographer snapped the competition in the second heat of the steeplechase, at the water jump.  The Iowa State (...?) failed to place.  Lower left (insert), is Arthur W. Sager of Bates and the B. A. A. who leads the javelin field with a throw of 200' 3".

Frank Wykoff, the Glendale high school wonder, who won the 100-meters, is the attraction in the center.  In the upper photo he is getting out of his holes with the other starters.  He is on the extreme left, with Roland Locke beside him.  Folwell Scull is next, and Chet Bowman second from the pole.  The finish of a great day's work by the Glendale Glider is shown at the bottom.  Jackson Scholz extreme left.  Next comes "Hank" Russell of Cornell (third), with Claude Bracey (fourth), half hidden by Wykoff (with the G on his shirt).  Then comes Bob McAllister (second), and at the extreme right Jimmy Quinn.

The thrilling third (...? -- 800 Meters) is at the upper right.  Virgil Gist, University of Chicago (left) was second, with Ray Watson of the Illinois A. C. first.  Second from the right is John F.
