noon in Central Stadium. These
are the marks for the 440-yard dash,
the 1-mile run and the javelin throw.
Capt. Jake Edwards of Tech, Frank
Miles of Eastern, Russell Lampson of
Central and Bert Allison of Eastern are
boys who now loom as likely to shat
ter existing standards as the result OF
performances in the c Club meet
Saturday, when they all bettered the
high school marks.

ped the quarter mile in so lilo sec
onds. The high school meet record OF

ming the mile run in the G Club meet
covered the distance in 4 minutes
43 $40 seconds. If he can do this
mark which has stood for nine years.
1t is that of 4 minutes As seconds,
registered by John Gross of Tech in
1920. Lampson heaved the javelin 1856
feet 512 inches, to capture that event
in the G Club mecG. This is just l
inch better than the high school meet
mark of 156 feet Az inches, made by
Coleman Jones of Central in 1926.
Allison of Eastern heaved the javelin
well beyond the high school mark in
the recent quadrangular Geographic
meet with Tech, Dewitt and Castle
Heights, Tennessee Military Academy,
when he tossed the spear 162 feet 3
inches.
Among the records which have sur
vived the longest, and probably will
continue as standards for some time,
are those for the 100 and 220 yard
