Had young Terhune not gotten such
a poor start in the final of the senior
hundred the point trophy would not
have been SO much in doubt up until
the last event. Braun had a two-pcint
advantage until the final of he go

If Parker Terhune had not knocked
any hurdles down in the 120-yard hur-
die event he would have broken his
brothers record of 16 AS seconds for
that event by 2-5 of a second.
There was a question as to whether
or not Erb Wuen sch was a novice and

novice and the referee was more than
