NEW YORK, June with differ
ent set OF stars in the leading roles. the
nonchalant. cardinal-clad track men Of
Stanford University today renewed their
remarka bic assault on height. time and
distance with some Of the finest per-
fCrmances ever seen in the East.
Whereas they did their record break
ing in the shot-put and discus in WIN
ming the Eastern intercollegiate week
ago, these athletes from the Far West,
competing in the New York A. G.. games
at Trayers Island today. turned their
attention with most surprising results
10 the high jump and javelin.
Clearing feet inches for the
first time in his competitive career, the
Stanford high jumper, Bob King, Ma
tionaI A. A. U. and new intercollegiate
champions. turned in the greatest leap
recorded since the new jumping stand
ards we're adopted two years ago. De-
spite the present rules which make the
bar a hair trigger dislodged at the
slightest touch, King cleared it at 5
feet with some to spare. He JUST
missed at feet Z.
It remained for stanford teammate
Leo Kibbe, whose achievements in other
meets had been somewhat obscured oy
those Of his mates. TO produce the other
high light performance Of the day.
Never in his life before had Kiobe
thrown a javelin more than 200 feet,
but today he outdid himself by getting
the shivering spear away for distance
Of 209 feet, the greatest throw ever seen
in competition in the Metropolitan As
sociation of the A. A. U.
Until his team came East for the
intercollegiates, Kibbe always had been
second TO his teammate, William SpaYl-
ing. but today his friendly rival had 70
be content with third place with 1876
feet IL inches, while Philip Carr OF
Yale, took second. with fine throw Of
COT feet 2l2 inches.
There were other remarkable feats
achieved in this afternoons meet in
which Stanfords athletes were arrayed
against some of the best college and
club athletes in the East. and the events
provided a good line on the Olympic
material Uncle Sam has available. IN
East and West.
