RELAY CARNIVAL
AT URBANA HELD
BEST ON RECORD
March S Event Is AT.
tracing Many Ath-
[etes.

Urbana, ILL.,, Feb. ia record
breaking list of entries is in pros
pect for the fourth annual relay
carnival of the University of Illi-
nois to be held here March 5.
Last year more than 300 athletes
competed in the meet and Judging
from the entries thus far received,
there will be far greater number
in the competition this year. Many
OF the universities are entering
their star athletes in the special
events, besides sending their relay
teams.
A comparison of the records
made in the last three relay carni-
walls at the University of Illinois
with worlds records show that the
western indoor classic has been
the scene Of many record breaking
performances.
Ames' Great Feat.
In 1917, Waldo Ames. one of the
greatest hurdlers that ever don-
ned an Illinois suit, smashed two
worlds records. running the 20
yard low hurdles in S2-5 seconds,
and the 75-ysrd high hurdles in
9 3-5. The record in the 75-yard
lows had stood since being made
in 1913 by R. r. Templeton of San
Francisco and eQualled the follow
ing year by ]. j. Eller. of New
York. Their performance Of 8 sec
onds was thought to be unbreak-
able, until Ames took So second
from it in one of the greatest races
| Of the meet.
These records were doomed to
60, however, when, two years later
i Carl Johnson of Michigan and LIZ
Gendre of Georgetown met in tbs
final heats of both races. The tai
| Michigan star won both races, low.
ering the low hurdle mark to s ant
the high to 92-5.
In 1920 the performances o.
Jack Scholz were notable. Tit
little Missouri flyer got away to {
perfect start in the 75-yard dasl
and eQualled the worlds record o
1875 for the distance. This mari
has stood for many years, joint.
held by Bonnie Wefers, Archi,
Hahn and Howard Drew.
One of the reasons for the IN
usual record breaking perform
ances year in and year out is tn
quality of the track. ! The 75-yar,
straight-away is one of the finest il
the country. 1t is carefully bull
up each year with southern clay
and kept in the finest condition tn
year, around.
The fact that the carnival is on
tof the first big meets Of the yea
lalso adds to its attractiveness

This is the. first time for several
years that sophomore has been
elected to captain. McCarty, who
played quarterback several years
ago, was the last junior captain.
Since then all.of the leaders have
been seniors, and Littig is receiv-
ing big honor by being chosen
so early. -

The name Of Littig is not a new
one in football at the local high
school. The elected captains two
brothers both played on crimson
and gold teams for several years.
The captain-elect made the team in
his freshman year and has been
one Of the mainstays Of the line
ever since. He has starred espe-
Oally on defense, every team find

Captain-elect Littig will have
quite a few of this years letter

The standing in the quad-city
basketball race remains the same
after the games last night. Rock
Islands defeat of Moline and the
Little Saints victory over East
Moline, 1873, raises the percentage
of these teams.
Although Davenport is in the
lead, the championship is by no
means DECIDED. The Islanders, if
