University Of Southern California
Makes Strong Showing Against
Northern coIIegians-Locals
Take Relay Race

With perfect weather and a typical
college gathering one of the prettiest
field meets ever recorded in Southern
California occurred yesterday morning
at Bovard field between Stanford and
u. S. c. When Vandervoort of Stan
ford won the broad jump cardinal men
were jubilant, for they had annexed a
close victory by the score of 6S to %.
From a spectacular standpoint the
cinder event could not have been i'm
proved upon. The unexpected occurred
so frequently that adherents of both
sides were continually in state bor-
dering upon frenzy
A perfect furore was In order when
Shute won the final lap of the relay
race which had been practically con-
ceded to the northern team. AS the
local runner plunged over the line a
winner he was quickly gathered on the
shoulders of admiring schoolmates ana
carried away in regulation hero style
To Lennox however must be given
credit for a great share of the victory,
as it was he who made up discourage
ing amount of territory lost by New
mire and Nordhal. Nordhal fell eX-
hausted fifty feet behind Mcfarland,
and Lennox's task appeared hopeless.
He set off with a great burst of speed,
however, and gave Shute something
like an even break to catch the fleeting
Davis, who sprang away with fair
lead.
When the runners came down the
back street Shute was leading by fif-
teen feet and struggled to the wire
almost that distance in front of his
opponent.
A surprise occurred in the pole vault
and it was flanagan who defeated U.
S. C.'s crack Richardson. Lanaghan,
Kocher and Richardson fought valiant
iy and tied at eleven feet six inches
1t appeared as though their limit had
been reached. Lanaghan, however, on
his final try cleared the bar at II feet
inches and was given an ovation by
work.
Parsons won the 100 and 22O-yard
dashes handily. The great sprinter
came within an ace of equaling the
worlds record in the short event. One
watch caught Parsons at 8 3-5, while
two others recorded a fraction less
than As.
