|
AS predicted, Pomona college won
the annual dual track and field meet
from Occidental college yesterday
afternoon on the Occidental oval by
the score of 76 to 46. Although the
! score was overwhelmingly against the
/ Presbyterians. and from the start 1t
/ was apparent that they did not have
| a ghost of chance to win from their
! country rivals, several of the events
were closely contested, and one South
ern California record and three Occi-
! dental records went glimmering.
Thomson was practically the Occi-
dental team and proved his claim 10
! the title of champion shotputter of
| Southern California by boosting a pei
let two ounces overweight out to the
43-foot 9A-inch mark, thereby beating
Trotter's mark of 43 feet ~ inches.
Besides this the big Presbyterian cap
tain won six first places, coming home
| first in every event he entered, and
| broke his college record IN the low
hurdles by travelling the furlong in
! % 3-5. The remainder of his hrsts
were in the high hurdles, broad jump
! high jump and hammer throw. RoD-
ertson also came in for share of the
record breaking honors by winning the
half mile from Rice of Pomona in
2:O3 3-5. Carver, the former OXy run
ner, who was entered by Pomona, got
a severe case of cold feet when Starter
Merrill called the men to the line, and
refused to enter the race. However,
he was beaten in his lap in the relay
by Thomson, who practically ran the
| Pomonan off his feet, coming IN hNe
yards ahead of the latter.
The two short sprints brought out
some pretty running on the part or
Harry Sloane of Pomona, who despite
a bad leg won both races handlly.
His race in the longer distance was
equal to the time made by Rubio or
| high school in the Oxy-High meet three
weeks ago. Bradbeer and Spurgeon
! finished in a tie and were but few
feet behind the flying Sloane.
Pomona showed wonderful form in
both the mile and two-mile. In the
former Billings, Merritt and Fisher all
! finished within yard of each other
in the fast time of 4 minutes 80 20
seconds. None of the men was forced
to his limit and could easily have
clipped ten seconds Off MS time hau
! any of them been pushed to the limit.
In the long grind Sturges, Rau and
Fisher finished hand in hand in 1O:46'
| the nearest Occidental runner, Briar,
being over 100 yards behind.
| In the high jump both Wieman and
Lorbeer fell down at feet z inches,
and Thomson had no trouble in clear
| ing the par at lHiS ilSl5Its DoAhSo
vaulted 10 feet(9 inches, but seemed
to be only practicing, so that great
contest is expected when he lines up
against Pete Richardson of u. S. G.
| d. Wieman ran a close second TO
Thomson in the high hurdles and
should do 1871 before the close of the
season.
