Records Broken

third and the threatening of a fourth.

ST. Johns Preparatory IN both his semi
final and final heats tied the record OF
4 % seconds established by Mex. Z.

afterwards.
The only disagrccabte feature of the
meet arose in connection with the
final heat in the 4t0-yard run. Allen,
who had broken the record for this
event in his trial heat, was matched
up against three Hebron runners for
this final struggle. From the start IT
was apparent that the Hebron men
were determined to keep Allen from,
coming in ahead but nc held the lead
in spite Of repeated fouls against him
until Redmond, one of the Hebron
runners. jahbed Allen wickedly in the
stomach with his elbow. This threw
Alien out Of his stride ana because Of
tile pain inflicted he was unable 10 fin

lily stuck to the finish. Redmond was
by the judges.
