Breaking His Own Record and
Winning First Place in
q Three Events

In field of record breaking events,
Harvard Military school won the Los
Angeles county league track and field
meet on the Harvard oval yesterday
afternoon. notwithstanding a cold
wind that worked to the disadvantage
of the boys, four records of previous
years were broken and two others were
equaled.
In the mile the county record of
40 3-5 seconds, made by Lee of Har-
vard was broken by aVlleley of Har-
vard was broken by Valleley of Har-
SS0-yard run, for which Lee held the
record of 2:09, was surpassed by the
Harvard boy himself cutting it down
to 2:05. In the 440 dash Lee beat Cra-
rvs record of SO 1-5 seconds, winning
in So 3-5.
In the 220 hurdles Cline, who held the
championship of q 1-5 seconds, broke
his own record by running it in 26 3-5.
AS he knocked down one of the hurdles,
however, the A. A. U. rules demanding
that all hurdles shall remain standing,
this record will not stand Cline for
Harvard winning the 100-yard dash and
the 22O in 10 1-5 seconds and % 3-5 sec
onds respectively, equaled last years
records.
Cline Hero of Meet
Cline was quite the hero of the meet,
winning first place in all three events
he entered. In the 440 Smith for Pasa-
dena won second in an exciting squirt,
winning from Lane in the last hun
dred yards.
The meet included almost all the
schools of the county league, Los Ange-
les high alone being out of the game.
The high school boys had been in train
ing for so long, before going to Stan
ford and afterwards, so they relaxed
somewhat and were not in condition to
show any kind of form. Then, too, the
blue and white lads captured the cham
pionship of Southern California at Bo-
ward field three weeks ago, and few
days later at the same place the su-
premacy of the state; and they did not
care to risk these laurels in a compare
lively unimportant meet.
The teams scoring were: Harvard,
So exclusive of the relay, which count
ed five points,; Pasadena, 30; Poly
technic, 1S: Throop, 16; Glendale, 6;
Compton, 8.
