fec, weather and a perfect track added
materially to the success of the meet
While a colorful crowd overaowed
stands at the college field and lined
the straightaway for its entire length
Five state interscholastic records
and four district records went by the
boards Saturday. To Mitchell OF
Parma goes the distinction of smash
ing two of the state records. He
lowered the time in both hurdle
events, shaving chunks neatly off both
records.

two men on the eligible list to attend
the state meet. But both of these.
Cleaver and Clancy, got into the IA
vofed record smashing coterie. Clea-
YER lowered his own fine record in
the mile by clicking off this race in
Az, $40 and set a mark that will
probably stand for many years un-
less he himself should lower it again
At Moscow which is doubtful. CLANCY

ever vaulted before in his life tied this
event with Pagoga of Boise and set
a new district pole vault record of II
