 for Returning.
TRACK FASTEST
 IN THE STATE
Hiqh School and College Boys Smash Former Time in Long and Short Distances, as We'll as fin the
 Field Events.

Backed by sthe fact that thirteen state records were smas<ed in the an nual track and field contests of the Arkansas Inter-School Contests as soctation here Saturday last, Pine Bluff will make determined effort to get the contests again next year, according to Secretary B. B. Bloom kecretary of the chamber of com- nerce.
 "Hot Springs will make hard fight to get the contests" said MT. Bloom, "but r believe the majority of the members of tho executiv commit tee of the association will decide In favor of Pine Huff, especially as each and all of them are more than de- lighted with the manner in which the contests have been carried out this year."
 Of the thirteen records broken. six were in the high school division, these being: the 100-yard dash. 22O-yard run, mile relay, pole vault, standing high jump and standing broad jump.
 The seven records broken ip the college division were as follows: 40 yard run, mile run, two-mile run, mile relay, running high jump. ham, mer throw and running broad jump
 Two of the records established Sat urday are classed as records. because of the fact that previous records in those evsnts are not obtainable, for some reason, records at hand being below those established Saturday
