Feature Of Meet.
The hundred and twO-twenty dashes
were the feature events Of the day. be
cause Sam BrintOn and MeAlister the
two crack sprlnters OF the state. were TO
meet for the first time this year. Brin-
ton came off a victor and reversed the
decision OF a year ago, when these two
men fought IL out for sprinting hOnOrs
But BrintOns victory was BY such a
close margin that friends of McAllister
are still anxious 10 see them try it again.
and when they do II will be a race worth
going long ways TO see.
The boys met for the first time in the
trial heat In the hundred and finished
easily, McAllister In the lead. neither go
ing at his best In the final, the greatest
race of the day took place and at the
tape the Judges called II tie. and IL was
nllGnlF close at tnat. Friends OF both
men claimed the victory but the judges
could not have been very far wrong in
their decision In the tWO-tWentV both
men Went in Tor blood and raced from the
pistol shot. Brinton winning by about a
foot, with Richardson pushing both men

over the speedy Saint.
Record Goes In Hurdle.
The record for the high hurdles Of II
seconds flat-and which by the way has
always been considered a cripple-was
broken by Hunt of the Il. In the final
he finished easily N 16 2-5 seconds. This
record has been broken several times in
dual meets, but this is the first time il
has been lowered al a state meet which
under the intercollegiate rules is necessary
20 secure official recognition.
A heavy wind was blowing all day
which made record breaking extremely
difficult and the other marks are safe
for another year for this reason.
