BY RED PERKINS


Los Angeles high school athletes
showed their ability yesterday by de-
feating their nearest competitors, the
Washington street school, by the
close score of three points. Los An
geles high school entered it's best men
in the meet. Coach Ralph Noble was
we'll pleased with the outcome and
said:
81 always predicted that our boys
would win. l did not for moment
underestimate the running and field
ability of the Washington street ath-
letes. Our men deserve great credit
for the showing made and no doubt
think they can compare with the best
in the state, if given the oppor-
tunity."
Fully 5000 students were present with
remnants and musical instruments. to
cheer their respective candidates on to
'.ictory.
A cold wind was blowing over the
campus the early part of the meet
and compelled several of the athletes
to seek cover under their training
robes.
Teddy Geissler was the star of the
hilltop school. capturing first honors
in the 100-yard dash. first in the 220,
second place in the hammer and third
place in the broad jump. Mcclure, who
finished strong in the 440-yard dash,
led the field to the tape, winning by a
safe margin. Hill of Hollywood, who
placed deserves considerable credit as

AMERICANS DEFEAT
ENGLISH AT CHESS
First Match In intercollegiate Contest
Between Old and New Countries
Goes to U. S. Students

PRINCETON, N. J., March 20-The
international intercollegiate chess
match opened at Alexander hall here
today and in London with the un1ver-
stiles of Columbia, Harvard, Pennsyl-
vania, oxford and Cambridge repre-
scented.
The British players were in hotel
in Holborn, London and the Ameri-
cans were represented there by Jesse
Mortimer, while Magnus Smith, eX-
champion of Canada, represented the
British players in America. Before
the opening of the match cablegrams
of felicitation were exchanged.
There were a large number OF spec
tators who watched the moves repeat
ed on the giant chess board
N. L. Whitker, Pennsylvania, won
from w. II. Humphreys, Cambridge,
in 29 moves, when the score stood:
America 2, England 0.

a point winner for the Hollywood high
school and shows as one of the best
formed. athletes who ever competed on
a Southern California athletic field.
The first event on the program was
the hammer throw, which was won by
"Curley" Olmstead of Polytechnic in a
close fight with Thompson the elongat-
ed athlete, of Pasadena. e. B. Hall of
Los Angeles high school Showed The
winning distance was 142 feet 9h inches.
Thompson was second with 100 feet
inches; while Halls distance was 129
feet inches.
Hurdles Big Surprise
The biggest surprise of the day was
the time done in the 120-yard hurdles,
which was 15 seconds. Robertson of
Los Angeles won, but fell over the
third hurdle, bruising his knees. This,
however, did not prevent him from
entering in other events. This record
cannot stand as official, although four
watches caught the same time. Hardly
any of the hurdles were left standing
after the athletes finished.
AS was predicted in yesterdays Her
aid Dodd of Long Beach, the world s
record holder for the half mile and the
mile of the Y. M. G. A. division, cap
tured the mile event in the fast time
of 4:43 Valley, who captured third
place, has done much better time in
practice than Dodd's time.
The shot put event went to Myer of
Polytechnic, who heaved the missile a
distance of 43 feet 3-5 inches. Morri-
son, the Long Beach athlete who was
doped to defeat the Angel athletes. in
this event, showed, and Ellis of Throop
captured second place.
Giffin and Bean were the stars i'll
the pole vault for Polytechnic, tieing
for first honors at height of 10 feet 8
inches, thereby breaking the school rec
ord of 10 feet inches.
A new Southern California inter-
scholastic record was made in the $50
by "Micky", Mcclure of Los Angeles
high school, who ran the distance in
2:05, thereby clipping one-ffth OF a
second off the record for the same event
made by C. Robb of Harvard in 1908.
Kirkhoffer of Polytechnic was second,
and Robb captured third place.
Hurts Himself Jumping
Redman of Whittier, the only entry
the Quaker city high school had en-
tered, sustained a painful injury of the
left leg in his own winning broad jump
of 20 feet ~ inches. Redman was re-
moved to training quarters, where the
injury was reduced.
Several of the athletes complained
that the starter was not up to date in
his business, and that for that reason
finishes were not up to the standard.
Followin gare the events:
