Fast Time Recorded

The bird of victory perched on the
banner of the Los Angeles high school
track squad at the conclusion of its
meet with the cinder path representa-
tives of Occidental college yesterday,
the meet being held on the OXy grounds
and the final results standing SO to 54.
At the start of the last event, which
was the relay race, the score was tied,
50 to Sd, and as the sprinters in this
deciding race lined up on the white line
for the start of what would decide the
honors, Coach Mobiles features assumed
an expression of satisfaction, as he
well knew the worth of his fleet-footed
four, who had successfully competed
against U. S. c. talent the week before.
Sure enough, the last event was cap
tured in jig time by the hill boys, the
last of whom cantered home full hun
dred yards to the good.
But the feature of the meet was the
all-around work of f. Thomson for
the Oxys. In the shot put Thomson
set a new Southern California mark,
heaving the siXteen-pound weight the
distance of 43 feet 1919 inches, which
broke the record held by Trotter of u.
S. c. by 91a inches When this record
breaking feat was accomplished. Trot-
ter, the former holder of the record,
was doing the measuring, and when he
announced the disance he also wiped
his former distance off the record slate.
Thomson also won the high hurdles,
took second in the hammer throw
tied with Wieman in the high jump.
and won the discus throw and the
broad jump. After his wonderful
showing Coach Gorton gave out the
statement that the school may send
him back east this summer to compete
in the national meet.
Rubio. who won the 100-yard dash
ana the 220, is another athlete who
covered himself with glory yesterday.
His time for the 22O distance of 20 3-5
lowered the Occidental track time, and
