The seventeenth annual dual tract

er athletes by score of 56T to 2S25
One record was broken when Rodkey
the Kansas speedster clipped 3s of 6
second from the quarter-mile record
running it in 511s seconds.
Missouri athletes were consistent
ly in the running and in no event were
they completely blanketed. On the
other hand Missouri captured both
places in three events, the 50-yard
dash and low hurdles and shot-put.
The feature event of the evening,
the one-mile relay, went to the Pig
ers. Parker, Roney,s Bond and Mas
sengale were the NJ. U. athletes to
win the banner race.
High individual honors of the meet
went to Clarence ("Fuzzy'D Williams.
who captured thirteen points for him
self and the Tigers by winning the
two hurdle events and running second
to Scholz in the 50-yard dash.
Rodkey, the Kansas star, found
worthy opponent in Massengale. who
raced him all the way to the last turn
when a squirt by the Jayhawker won
him first money. McClung and Bon
durant had things their own way in
the shot-put aand took first and sec
ond places respectively. Hamilton
and Lewis of Missouri and Hiser OF
Kansas tied at II feet in the pole
vault.
George Williams of NJ U. and Brad
lev the Jayhawker entrant tied in the
high jump.
The real thrill of the evening came
in the two-mile event when Hender-
son of Missouri and Massey of the
Jayhawk tribe finished in dead heat.
A dead heat is common in a dash
event but for two men to traverse "a
laps and then cross the line with the
Judges unable to see any light be-
tween them, is decidedly unusual.
Henderson passed Massey close to
the finish line but staggered and al
lowed the Kansas man to creep up |
even with him as he breasted the tape. |
Capt. Jack Barlow was unable to
run in either the relay Or the quarter
mile, as he developed cramp in his
leg.
Major credit for winning the relay |
is given to Bahlman Parker, who as
the first runner for Missouri handed
Bond 12-yard lead. Massengale, the
fourth man, increased this lead despite /
the fact that lis opponent was Rod
key who had previously defeated him
in the quarter-mile.
