LUCKY
University Wins Track Meet by Big
Maraln-Mills Turns the Tables
by Defeating NordhaI in
the Mile Run

Whittier college ran UP a score of
nineteen points yesterday in a field and
track meet with the University of
Southern California. u. S. c. made
1OS, but as this is practically the maiden
effort for the Whittier lads their per-
formance was considered very credit
able, and the best feeling existed
/ throughout between the two teams.
The old-time amateurs in the Metho-
dist camp didn't throw any points
away, but were glad to see their OPP
ponents win wherever they could do
so. Whittier took two first places and
several seconds and stacked up nearly
as big score against u. s. c. as did
Occidental college two weeks ago.
AS no competition was expected In
yesterdays meet a very small crowd
attended, though some events well
worth seeing developed during the aft
ernoon. One incident not on the dope
sheet occurred in the mile run when
Nordahl, who has record of 4:44, Was
beaten in nerve-racking finish by
Mills in the mediocre time of 457
h Comstock again reversed the form in
the 120-yard hurdles by defeating Len
noX after being set back a yard Tor
false starting. 1t was run in 1862 with
a. icbilulNdp VI d ydTu ana a SLlII DreeIc.
Shute and Thompson ran close race
in the 100 and also in the 22O-yard dash.
With increased weight Shute is losing
his ability In the shorter sprint but is
developing wonderfully in the 220 and
440-yard dashes.
The field events went to U. S. c. in
one, two, three order and no attempt
was made to shatter records. By win
ming yesterday u. S. c.. has an un-
hrnlxan limo nf xyiat 30 IL
The remainder of the month will be
devoted by the Methodists to prepara-
tion for the tri-cornered meet which
will come on the 23d.
Manager Thompson of Whittier has a
plucky bunch of athletes and his team
VIII be much stronger another season
than now. One of their greatest as
sets is plenty of nerve. They showed
this yesterday by gamely staying in
even after race was over, as for in
stance in the twomile run, where they
exhibited very good grit
1t is probable that had Holmes team
started out to win everything in sight
the best the opposing team could have
secured would have been third place in
the mile, half mile and 220 dash. Some
OF his best men were not in yesterday,
Parsons, Newmire and others being on
this list.
