Ihe little group of eight survivors
from among the seventy-odd entrants
away shoulder to shoulder until more
than half the distance had been COW
ered, when Brown of Princeton threw
everything into a last dash and went
INTO the lead. Maxam. the Pennsyl-
Eanlan. shot out of the bunch in
rival. and. while unsuccessful, won

reversed places with Maxam the
Princeton contingent would have won
the meet by half a point.
The new world record established
IN the I2o-yard high hurdles went
70 the credit of f. J. Thomson, of
dartmouth. who shot over the ten
3 u foot hurdles in the amazing time
of IA 2-5 seconds, thus disulacing the
record made by Robert Simpson, of
the University of Missouri, in the
western Conference games held at

TINS afternoon. The Dartmouth hurd-
Ter. who will compete for Canada. in
the olympic games at Antwerp was
expected to perform equally well in
the 22O low hurdle race but w. b.
Wells of Stanford University sprang
a surprise by defeating him for first
place over the longer distance and
heartened members of the American
olympic committee. who witnessed the
feat, with the hope that the Canadian
wiff~not be unbeatable at the Belgium
International games.
In many respects the performances
or CalIfornlans was the most remark
able of the day. Stanford sent three
men to the meet and California five
and these eight between them rolled
up total of 33 " points, which would
nave been sufficient to have won the
championship had fhey been compet-
ing for either one or the other of the
two far western universities This
splendid showing was made notwith-
standing the fact that Kirksey, the
Stanford sprinter who suffered mus
Gle strain yesterday, was shut out of
the hundred and did not compete in
the 220 dash, although he had been
selected by the experts to win both
events.
