exciting interscholastic track meet ever
( held in Arizona, on last Saturday al
Tucson. the Tempe normal team de-
feated the university team by the re-
markedly close score of 5j15 10 53I2

most evenly, matched and every event
was hotly contested to the very fin
ish. while the result of the meet as Z
whole was in doubt up to the time

and as the full quota Of officials and
timers were present and the distances
carefully measured there can be no
question as 20 the records. Particular
ly is this true of the sprints 1t has
been the habit of the valley runners
70 jump the gun in all of the
sprints, thereby gaining % or 3-5 of a
second. This was rigidly prevented at
Tucson. In fact Sheldon made two OF
mis- records after having been set back
ia yard for attempting an early start

two teams. the 10O-yard dash. resulted
in a tie between Sheldon Of the normal
