Rain fell during the meet and made
track records impossible. There were
numerous thrills. The twomile run
showed Sutch doing his phenomenal
stunt Of setting a pace similar to that
in 1O0-yard dash. He was also a
big factor in the one-mile relay.
Beck Big Point Winner
Beck, of Tech, was the big point
winner, taking three first and one
third. scoring Is points. He was
awarded the silver trophy. Beck made
the only new record hung up. In the
12-pound shot put he made AZ feet ~
inches. The former record, As feet n
inches, was made by McCutcheon, of
Pittsburgh, in 1911. Heffelf1nger was
another Tech star, giving Beck a run.
The two big surprises were Steelton
and Williamsport. The Steelton track
and field men were fast in every event
in which they competed. Crump was
a Steelton star. Williamsport had
stars in Whiteman, Vanderlin and Gal
braith. These men have shown cham
pionship form in every meet in which
they competed this season.
CentraPs point winners were Houtz,
Harmon, McNamee and Smeltzer. Gen.
trails entries were a disappointment
and several changes were made before
the meet. Millersburg had a good
man in Messner.
