nds in relays so that all could get a
he greatest series Of record breaking
competition here.
TIE NEW YORK HERALD cup for the
senior one mile relay race for high
school lads was won by the team rep
resenting Manual Training of Brook
lyn, while the other trophy for the
team scoring the greatest number Of
points in the elementary school meet
went to the boys of Public School
No. 10 Of Manhattan.
Five new marks were established in
the high school championships. in
which Stuyvesant. the favorite, won
the title with the surprising total OF
As points. Three Of the records went
to Stuyvesant standard bearers. Stand
! ing out like a Kohinoor in a collec-
ton of gems was the startling time
| turned in by Frank Hussey Of the title
winners in the 100 yard dash. Hussey
and his schoolmates had hoped for
"evens," but they went wild when. in
the final, the blond haired streak was
caught by five watches in 1910 Sec
onds. This mark displaced the record
of 10 1-5 seconds set by Bernie Wefers,
Jr.. OF De Witt Clinton in 1916.
Carlo Ffgueroa, the versatile negro
who defended the 22o yard and run
ming broad jump championships. was
not only successful but broke the rec
ords for both events. In addition he
was placed second in the running high
iump, forcing the winner to break the
record in that, too. Figueroa gave
Stuyvesant no fewer than thirteen
points.

In the furlong Figueroa was timed in
81 $40 seconds. as against the old mark
of % is seconds put on the books by J.
Bonaparte of Morris In 1918. The broad
jump saw Carlo leap % feet 6's incnes'
a performance which wiped the FORMER
/, mark Of p feet inches. made by Don
Brown OF Jamaica in 1914. right OH the
ledger. 1t was right easy for the Stuy-
vesant man. who made the record iooN
foolish every time he jumped.
The high Jump was a hummer. and
when Figueroa cleared the bar at
feet II inches and tied the mark made
last year by Thompson of De Witt Clin-
ton he looked like a triple winner. the
| first in the high school games in long
while. But along came Charley Major
/ OF De Witt Clinton. the national indoor
| cha rnnion. with the unexpected. Major
made feet II inches. but was not sat
isfied with q tie. The bar was put up
| 10 6 feet / inch Major leaped once. ne
leaped twice-and then the negro made
a desperate effort. He sailed over the
bar, and the stands let loose IN panoe-
monium. -
As there was a sag In the bar the
officials measured the exact height with
| a steel tape. as provided for In the a.
A II. rules. and found that Major
( leap was exactly 6 feet.
