/ The first classic track meet held in
| Kansas was a series OF remarkable
track records. Smith of Nebraska set
the pace for the meet in the first
event, taking the century dash in
S. A. c. and Paulu of Grinnen.
\ Again in the 220 he set the terrific
speed record of FL -1o seconds,
\ reaching within one-teuth of a second
smashing the Missouri Valley record
formerly held by Jackson Sholz of
Missouri. In this event both Irwin
and Paulu finished within q rs, the
former valley record. 1t will be some
time before such a race will be wit
messed in this part of the country.
Bradley Outdid Himself.
Everett Bradley, the Olympic star
from K. u, achieved the. notable feat
of acquiring four firsts by taking the
shot put in addition to being the pole
man in the short relay and throwing
the javelin. Next to Bradley, little
Pete Wolters of Ames deserves more
credit for his afternoons running than
any other Individual The diminutiVe
Ames runner proceeded to set the
pace in the 440, the hardest race on
the track, and won with ease in the
fast time of As As. He. followed this
in the half mile by taking a lead ten
yards ahead of the field and just be-
fore the finish. deliberately slowed
down so that his teammate, Higgins,
could secure first place for his first
time in this event. But to even things
up Wolters, taking the baton as the
last man in the mile relay, brought his
team an easy winner in this event
Rathbun, the Ames long distance
runner, did not enter the mile run. be-
cause he set his mind upon breaking
the conference record in the two mile
held jointly by himself and o. Watson
of Kansas Aggies. He set out at a
heartbreaking pace that he retained
for the eight laps, finishing strongly,
over 200 yards ahead of the field,
breaking the old record and hanging
up 9:423z, a record which will stand
for some time
Rogers Showed WeH-Too Late.
Rogers of X u, after failing to
vault over II feet, tying for first in
the pole vault, went out after the fin
ish and vaulted the height of IL feet
inches. the highest ever gone in the
Missouri Valley.
He does not get credit for this ac-
complishment, as he failed to make
oyer IL feet on the three trials al
lowed in competition. Porter, from
the little school Of Baker, had the 220
low hurdles won until the last twenty
yards. when he lost his stride and in |
recovering found himself in second |
place.
Brutus Hamilton, the Missouri |
ut, cat foil aA 81,
well due to the fact that ne was carry |
ing the bsndicap of a blistered heel.
''Phog" Allen is to be congratulated
upon securing for Kansas this year
the fastest Missouri Valley track meet
ever held. 1t will be a long time be-
fore the records made Saturday will |
be tied or beaten. Now that Kansans
have had their first taste of a classic /
meet, they should bear in mind that
the Kansas relays being planned for
next year will bring together even a
greater galaxy of stars than seen Sat
urday. With athletics speeding up,
the stadium at Lawrence afford the
fans around here an opportunity to
witness these events.
