Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-05-14

Inasmuch as Brady is in competi
ton here again today and tomorrow
he himself may better both his previ
Gus records. Foster graduated from
Y. VI. |. last Spring. and consequently
will not he here to place his ability
against the best spriuters the South
coasts.
Several of the men here have been
..redted with excellent time in the
.lashes in dual meets in the last
month. Cummings of Virginia. Nc
pherson of North Carolina and Monta-
cue of Virginia Polytechnic Institute
are said to have done better than 10
seconds. Cummings and Mcpherson
we're credited with 9 "A seconds. The
same men. with Milbank N Wash
ington and Lee and Matthews of
Maryland. have been credited with
better than % seconds in the furlons.
No doubt the dashes tomorrow will
bring together the fastest aggregation
of sprint men ever got together in
the same event in the South.
The 440 record is much better com
paratively than the $50. and it Is
likely that the mark for the latter
will be lowered. Cochran of MiSsis-
sippi A. and NJ. in 1923 did the quar-
ter in 40 Is seconds, and since that
no man has got as low as 30 sec
onds. The record for the $50 IS a
Joint affair between Roy of Clemson
and Smith of Mississippi A. and NJ,
each having done the distance in diff
ferent years in . minutes 40 OF
second.
Robinson Of Mississippi \. and NJ.
won the mile last year in the best
time made in that event by any CON
ference athlete. He covered the dis
lance in minutes 25.4 seconds. Hall
of Kentucky holds the Emile mark,
q minutes 5S5 seconds.
Baskin of Alabama Polytechnic In
stitute and Moore of North Carolina
have been the best hurdlers, the
former holding the 120-yard high
hurdle mark of 1913 seconds and the
latter the low hurdle of PSI seconds.
Raskin is entered in the meet today
and tomorrow. but Moore finished his
college career in 1925. Rnskin is
said to have exceptional ability in the
high hurdles, his speciality.
Shirley of Louisiana State has
jumped higher than any other athlete.
although he did not reach feet at
that. Shirley'S record is feet 1134
w
stood best in the javeIin since the first
meet was held, his mark of 1872 feet I
inches having withstood the assaults
of three years. Getchell of Mississippi
A. and NJ holds a mark in the discus
that probably will fall. His record is
l66 feet inches, but Lunn of Y. p. /.
has been doing better than that in
dual meets The only record which
stands to the credit of one of the
northermost OF members of the con-
ference is that held by Beers of Mary
land in the shotput Beers mark,
made in 1923, was a. feet 1034 inches.
The finals tomorrow will provide
test between the Northern and South
ern parts of the conference for the
first time. In former years the meets
have been held so far South that it has
been financially impossible for the
schools in the South Atlantic section
to send their full squads, but now that
the meet is in their vicinity schools in
this section are represented by their
fun strength.
Down here it seems to he the pre-
Vailing opinion that ii is a. case of
North Carolina, Virginia and Mary
land against Kentucky. Mississippi A.
and NJ. and Louisiana State, with
North Carolina and Virginia. having
the better chance to uphold honors
for the Northern end and Mississippi
A and NJ. and Louisiana State for
the Southern.
Drawings for the heats took place
this morning. and preliminaries for all
events. except the mile and two miles.
are to he held this afternoon. Nothing
but finals are listed tomorrow.
