BY Bobbie Yost


plucky little trackmen of the Los An
geles high school fought their way to
victory In the second annual inter-
scholastic championship meet of
Southern California, held under the di-
rection Of Coach Holmes on the Uni
versity of Southern California campus
yesterday afternoon.
The high school lads won on a
score of 40 points, making more than
twice as many as any Of their op-
ponents. Five points. won in the half
mile relay, were contested by the
other schools, and a committee will de-
eide during the week whether the eX-
ira credit will go to the high school.
Crowley of Throop broke the inter-
scholastic pole vault record by clear
Ing the bar at trifle over II feet.
Hays of Pasadena went the 220-yard
low hurdles in record time, but tripped
the last hurdle and finished In the
wrong alley, and his record was not
allowed as official.
Don Goodwin of Los Angeles high
school was credited with breaking the
record In the quarter-mile run. Good
win started fast and whipped around
the track far In advance of his COM
petitors and finished with long lead.
Through some fault of the time men,
The watches failed to catch the Off
cial time, but one timekeeper and
bystander announced the time as 51.4.
which, had it been official, would have
broken the interscholastic record.
The grittest exhibition of the day
was the splendid run of Billy Cline Of
Harvard. who gave his school a. fair
lead in the mile relay race after he had
been thrown and badly injured in the
low hurdles.
Cline entered from Harvard in the
220-yard hurdle race. He was closing
in fast on Hays of Pasadena at the
finish when he tripped on the last
hurdle and was thrown to the ground.
The cinders lacerated his knees and
side fearfully, but without a moments
hesitation Cline stepped in to do his
share in the half-mile relay team.
That event was won by Los Angeles
high school, but for the second time
Cline was fouled and thrown. sustain
ing painful bruises on his arms and
shoulders.
Several minutes rest were allowed
the boys before they were sent to the
scratch for the last race Of the day,
Cline was given a rundown, but when
he came up for the last dash he
limped considerably.
Lane of Harvard led off for his
school, taking the run in fair time and
finishing with a lead of a few feet
over his opponent. Cline was second
and on him came the brunt of the
run, for there was no man of the
Harvard school capable of substitute
ing for him. With quivering muscles
the plucky runner dashed around the
track, sending his man away in good
form.
The mile relay was won by Harvard,
after Goodwin of Los Angeles high
school and B. Lee of Harvard had

hammer throw and shot put and sec
onds in the pole vault and high jump.
