The hundred proved a headache for the judges. Richardson came from behind to take first easily enough, but the second, third, and fourth men finished in practically a blanket finish. Foy who appeared to have a slight edge for second was given third by the officials.
A slight rain fell before the meet, but it only served to put the track in a fast condition for the record-keeping performances that were to come.
Place winners in the various events were greeted by the queen of the meet and given a salute by the Kansas State band.

tear' Takes a eating As It comes Down the Years
Chicago, May 10—(UP) —The rule word "beat," invented centuries ago by the English, has been oldened into a dozen or more range meanings by the American, scripping to the second installment of Shakespeare's *Othello*, in English, "to be published by the diversity of Chicago Press.
As for back as 1833 Americans are saying the "beat of all" to mean surpass or to excel, and the diddle of the 19th century such brasses as to "beat all" or "to beat all" are common in the major langes.
"Beat" was given its journalistic definition in 1875, when American newspaper men referred to a "beat" an «exclusive news story, or scoop», as it is sometimes called. As a term for a shiftless person beat" dates back to 1871 and was often used in the compound word dead-beat. "To beat" also was used to mean to trick or to defraud, s first noted in the phrase "beat as creditors."
Mark Twain's "Innocents Abroad," published in 1869, first produced the phrase "it beats my time," denoting inability to comprehend, and in 1883 sports phrasology included "beat-ness" to get to an unfair start in a race.
Later meanings which have been backed on to the word have been "to overcome by astonishment," "to exhaust," and "to lose patience."
