Fred Clifton Thomson, the Occiden-
tai athlete who won the all-round
championship of the worl on the
Marshall Field track in Chicago about
a month ago, failed to establish a new
worlds record in the event on the Oc-
cidental college field yesterday in the
track meet under the auspices OF the
Pacific association of the A. A. U.
The chief cause of the giant Tigers
failure was due to the negligence OF
the officials in charge, who took the
accurate placing of the hurdles in the
obstacles in the 120-yard hurdle race
too much for granted and a mistake
necessitated the holding of a second
race. This was too much for even the
husky Occidental champions endur-
ance and after he finished in the mile
run which foll.v-ed the hurdles and
closed the program he was carried In
a fainting condition from the field.
The weather was It crisp enough
for records and Throop failed to set
the pace in the century and furlong
dashes which he has shown heretofore.
The feature event Of the day was the
pole vault, three of the entries clear
ing the bar over eleven feet and Grif-
fin finally winning by a close margin
from Grant Richardson by clearing
the bar at IL feet 11a inches.
A little care in the management or
a championship meet of this character
would prove a boost for athletics in
the southland and such an occurrence
as took place on Baer field yesterday
is to be deplored. The results of the
meet follow:
1OO-yard dash, time 10 1-5 seconds
