POLYS DEFEAT

TRACK EVENT RESULTS IN HOT
CONTESTS
Polytechnic Men Take the Majority
of First Places, While Their
Opponents Press Them
Closely

Los Angeles Polytechnic track men
geles high school team yesterday after
noon on Bovard field. Considering the
short time in which the Polytechnic
men have been identified with South
ern California athletics their showing
of recent date has been little short of
remarkable.
Considerable feeling was aroused
owing to the fact that Joe Wilhoit of
the high school team was barred from
competition because he had been
a member of the st. Vincent
team last season. Wilhoit held the
Southern California pole vault record
and the Los Angeles men were sorely
disappointed when a Polytechnic man
won the event with Wilhoit on the side
lines.
Hoover of Polytechnic captured the
1OO-yard dash after hard struggle in
which he was pressed by Coleman of
the Los Angeles team.
Following are the results:
