WINS FIELD DAY
DEFEATS HIGH SCHOOL ATH-
LETES DECISNELY
Preparatory school Boys Make Fine
Showing Against the Varsity
Men-Speedy Work
of Parsons

Several hundred enthusiastic students
Of Los Angeles high school journeyed
out to the University of Southern Cali
fornia campus yesterday to witness the
fulilment Of the prediction that their
! athletic representatives would triumph
over the products of Tutor Holmes
While fortune was not unklnd to the
preparatory school gladiators the gen
erous game did not go to the extent
of permitting them to wrest the long
end of the score from the varsity
team.
Final figures gave the high school
boys an aggregate of forty-fve points
and U. S. c. sixty-elght. The prer
school squad was within striking dis
tance throughout the meet and there
were times when indications for a high
school victory were very promising.
Coast Record Broken
The feature of the day was the break
ing of the Pacific coast record in the
hundred yard dash by Parsons of the
University of Southern California. Par
nomenal times of 09 AS, which stamps
him one of the fastest sprinters that
ever trod a cinder path. Parsons was
pressed by Donnell of the high school
and 1t was not until the last fifty yards
that the u. S. c. crack forged to the
front.
The A. A. u. regulations require that
three watches ne used in taking the
time if new record is to receive Of
fetal sanction, and, while Parsons prob
ably did the hundred in the time
named, the coast record will remain
at ten seconds fiat, as there was but
one watch used.
Youngs of the high school was the
main point winner for the prep school
athletes. He captured the high hurdles
in the fair time of :172, Johnson of
the high school being second and
Elliott of u. S. C. just managing to
show. Youngs also won the high jump
and the half mile, extremely credita BILE
work for any aspirant for athletic
honors.
Kitten of u. S. c. was conceded the
mile on the strength of past perform
ances but he was unable to stall off
the sensational sprint of little Holmes
of the high school in the last hundred
yards and was forced to be content
with second place. Curl ran a gritty
race and got inside the points. The
DDn
race between Horace Donnel and Par
sons. Parsons was inclined to loaf un-
til rounded into the stretch and just
managed to catch the clever little
from the worsted.
