| SECOND AT COLBY
|INTERSCHOLAST!CS

Waterville, Me-, May 22-Thornton
Academy won the fourth annual Col
by interscholastic track and field meet
here today by scoring 16 points. Ed
ward Little high school of Auburn
was tied with Cony high of Augusta
for second place with the remainder
of the schools trailing in the Joint
summary.
TIE feature of the meet was the run
ming of Jordan Of Brewer high school
in the mile which he negotiated in
ABS 4-5, new record. This is the
fastest mile to be run in Maine for a
long time by schoolboy and is pos
sibly the fastest interscholastic mile
record in the state. Jordan ran well
in the pack for the first half staying
within striking distance of the first
man. At the end of the half he went
out with q brilliant burst of speed
and running easily increased his lead
until he hit t he tape with 20 yards to
spare over Pooler of Waterville who
al o ran a remarkable race to defeat
the remainder of the field by a decis-
i've margin. Anderson of Gardiner
came like shot in the final strides of
the hundred to win on his fighting
finish with Thibodeau of Jordan
inches behind. Miller of Brewer was
the second man of that team to lower
a mark and his victory in the half
was earned by drive up the back
stretch which gave him an advantage
which the others could not overcome.
| His time for the distance was 1904
As which is 3-5 of a second under the
former mark. Morrow of Thornton
did excellent work in the pole vault
when he slid over at 10 feet, 9 in, for
| a new record.
Bango.. won the relay race by a
! good margin when Cowan running
| first opened up lead which was in
creased during the race to a safe
margin. Portland high was second
with Morse, which finished third,
eight yards behind, Morse was dis
qualified for a technical foul in pass
ing the baton and Edward Little took
the third place.
| Records were established in four
events. Ridlon ran the 120 yard low
hurdles in IA seconds and owes his
record to Jones of Portland W, o
pushed him the entire distance. Miller
and Jordan of Brewer made new
marks in the half and mile respect
! lively, the latter cutting seven seconds

new mark was made when Morrow of
Thornton vaulted 10 feet, 8 inches in
