Pomona 76, OxY 4e


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 it
was apparent that they did not have
d ghost of a 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 to
the title of champion shotputter of
Southern California by boosting a pei
let two ounces overweight out to the
43-foot 97s s-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. Rob-
ertson also came in for a share of the
record breaking honors by winning the
half mile from Rice of Pomona in
2:03 S-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 five
yards ahead of the latter.
The two short sprints brought out
some pretty running on the part of
Harry Sloane of Pomona, who despite
a bad leg won both races handily.
His race in the longer distance was
equal to the time made by Rubio OF
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 a yard of each other
in the fast time of minutes 81 20
seconds. None OF the men was forced
to his limit and could easily have
clipped ten seconds off his time had
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 inches,
and Thomson had no trouble in clear
| ing Ln6 DdT dl lillS ANiSlbs peNA AASo
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. 5. &.
d. Wieman ran close second TO
Thomson in the high hurdles and
should do 1871 before the close of the
season.
