victory was accomrliShed; through the
remaining places.
The score was 5315 in favor of
Southern California and Stanford had
47i5 after the relay had been run and
victory depended Mpon the discus. The
TrojanS had no entry in this event.
Stanford's mighty weight men scored
first and third and the meet was
theirs.
The 220-dash record was the first to
fall. The mercurian heels of Charley
Borah, Southern California S spring
sensation, flashed down the firm, fast
cinder path to a new mark of 2I sec
onds flat, victor oyer Dean Anderson;
Washington ace, by two yards. The
former record, 81 3-5 seconds, was es-
tablished in 1920 by Morris KirkSey q

equalled in the heats yesterday by both
Borah and Anderson.
Then came Alexander Graham,
Southern California hurdler, to cut two
fifths of a second from the former
coast intercollegiate standard, that was
set seven years ago by w. B. Wells,
of Stanford.
Grahara's victory was an upset, as his
teammate, Morton Kaer, and Clarence

himself to a new coast record in the
pole vault, clearing II feet 9 Lis

higher than his own previous record.
While the low hurdle victory of
Graham was considered a great upset,
even more startling was that which
occurred in the 440-yard dash. Ed

up from behind in the last SO yards,
flashed to the tape ahead CT Wilburn
