Leading by the good margin of ~
points over Hollywood high school, its
nearest competitor, Long Beach high
track squad carried away the honors
in the county high school track meet
at Harvard field yesterday afternoon
before a fairly good crowd. The final
results were: Long Beach SLY, Holly
wood "a, Throop 10, Pasadena 1872,
Harvard IL, South Pasadena 10, U. S.
G. Props s.
Two county records were broken,
Olmstead of Harvard putting the p
pound shot 46 feet and inches, which
bettered the county record held by w.
Crowley of Throop by l foot and
inches. Dodd of Long Beach and l..
Smith of Hollywood finished in per-
feet tie race in the SS0-yard run and
lowered *. Lees record of Harvard,
which was minutes and 3-5 seconds,
to . minutes and 3 l-5 seconds. This
half-mile race was easily the feature
of the meet, with both contestants
straining every nerve and muscle to get
the slightest lead 'as they came down
the final stretch, finishing with every
ounce of energy spent in the arms of
those who caught them
Another pretty race was the punched
finish of the 440-yard dash, which was
won by l.. Middough of Long Beach.
owing to a charge of interference
brought against Brandt, the Throop
entry by Barnes of Harvard, who was
watching the first turn to guard against
any jockeying on the part of the con-
testants, he was disqualified, and
Throop thereby lost a second place.
Brandt felt very badly over the dis
qualification and claimed that he was
only protecting his right to the lead
when he prevented Knight of Pasadena
from passing him on the inside as they
clrcled the turn. There being dis
pute because of the disqualification as
TO who was entitled to the second and
third places, Rogson of Hollywood and
Douglas of Harvard were made to run
the distance over again for the places,
Rogson winning.
In the dashes Foster of South Pasa-
dena had everything his own way,
winning both the 100 and the 22O by
good margins. Davis of Long Beach
being the only one that came anywhere
near giving him race. The results:
