 OF STATE MEET
Phoenix Team Returns - All Arizona Was at Tue son-Officials Fuss About High Marks ks-When Is a Record a Record?

The athletes who won second place Tor Phoenix in the all state inter scholastic track and field meet re- turned to the city yesterday. If the rooters who accompanied the team are included the PhOenician crowd numbered about siXty-five, and was more than twice as large as the con- tlnSent from any other school.
 But the university kept open house to the students of the whole state and last week thirteen different school flags were run up at Tucson. If the schools represented in the conference of officials are counted also, the to- tai will be twenty or more.
 The idea that the varsity belongs to all Arizonans alike is slowly but surely coming into it's own Or rather It is being pushed into it's own by an aggressive publicity campaign Of which University Week is the main feature
 Some explanation should be given regarding the records made in Sat urday's meet In the opinion of Mir. QulgleN. Director of Athletics at the university. the records made at the state meet should stand as the state interscholastic records. Seven of the records made at last years meet were broken Saturday and according to MT Quigiey these new figures should stand as high marks in the high school class
 MT Quigley maintains that marks set in dual meets, and in minor lea que meets like those of the Valley league. should not be recognized be- cause these meets are not conducted under the auspices of the Arizona High School Athletic association and because the eligibility requirements for contestants are by no means uni form.
 No table of interSchOlastc records has ever been kept in Arizona. The list drawn up year ago by Mans field and Strong of the university gives the Arizona amateur records, but many of these are held by col lege men and by athletes not con nected with any school The Mans field Strong list appeared in The Re- publican at the close of the track season last year.
 Tempe High claims for Stuart a record of ten flat in the hundred made this season. This may be en- tered as an amateur record but if the state association supports Mr. Quigley it cannot be an interscholas- tic record
 At the university Saturday seven of the state meet records were brok- en but only one of the amateur re cords given by Mansfield and Strong was eQualled Buck of Tempe tied the old time Of 16 4-5 seconds in the high hurdles. In addition to the six records mentioned yesterday morning Teeter broke last years record for mile.
 The baseball series also furnishes food for thought. By trimming Tenn pc Tucson won the interscholastic Championship for keeps. But before the series began the university is sued a hallenge to the high ShoOl champion Now what if the varsity boys win from Tucson. as they are almost sure to do if they use one of their good pitchers? Then presto. Tucson has beaten Tempe, Tempe has Vanquished the varsity. the varsity has trimmed Tucson. Looks like a three cOrnered tie for the state pen nant,
