village called Harrisburg, on the
the preSident-elect of the Texas
republic, together with all the lead
ers of the revolution. Their cap
ture was sure if only troops could
be Unanswered quick enough Here
was the chance to deal the revolu-
ton its death blow. Hurrying as
much as possible, santa Anna set
out for Harrisburg, arriving there
on the night of April Is, so close
behind the retreaIing Texans that
several houses fired Cy the Texans
were still burning. 1he president
elect, Lorenzo zavala, together with
his cabinet, escaped to Galveston
on a small river steamer. Two
Americans and a Frenchman who
were found in Harrisburg by the
Mexicans. told them that Houston
was to be found at "El Pasc de
then known, with 800 men and two
four-pounder cannon. 4 detach-
ment of scouts confirmed these re-
ports and Santa Anna proceeded
to close in on the Texans.
On his arrival he found Houston
in possession of a small thicket on
the banks of Buffalo Bayou near
the point where its waters empty
into the San Jacinto river, and not
far away were the waters of Gal
weston Bay. This was the Goth of
the month, the day before the dis
aster. The Mexican troops were so
enthusiastic that they Immediately
commenced to sf.rmish with the
Texans, who returned their fire but
would not abandon the thickct.
Santa Anna wished to get his op-
ponents on more favorable ground,
and SO he retired to a small eleva-
ton about 1000 varas from the
Texans. This exposed his flank to
the fire of the insurgents. who
made a sally of about 100 cavalry
covered by fire from the two can
non. These were repulsed easily,
with the loss CT only one dragon.
AS it was rather late in the after
noon, the rest of the day was spent
in establishing a camp and fcrti-
fications. The night was spent il
watching and placing the troops in
the most favorable positions. On
his left was q thicket, on the right
and in front was open country and
behind was a swamp that acted
as an effective rear guard.
On the morning Of the 21st aLout
o'clock, in full sight of the enemy,
General Cos arrived with a force
Of 400 men. having left another 100
to guard the supplies which mi-ed
down in a swamp near Harrisburg.
Santa Anna noted with much DIRK
iety that the greater part Of the re-
Inducements were raw recruits
from San Luis Potosi and Saltiilo
making an almost insignificant re-
enforcement so far as giving The
enemy a decisive blow was con-
cerned. To add to their useless

RECORDS MAY
FALL AT MEET
Bracey Expected to Estah-
lish New Mark AT
Drake Relays

DIES MONIES, Iowa, April 49,
R-Given a dry field and favor
able weather, the athletes who COM
pete in the twentieth annual Drake
university relays here April rs and
81 appear certain to ring up at
least half a dozen new meet rec
ordS.
In addition, and really more i'm
portant. the Drake games may end
with the sending of an order to the
high moguls of track and field
activities to rewrite their record
books entirely. A new worlds in
tercollegiate mark is not an iInpos-
sibility in two, maybe three events.
These are not idle fancies OF or
binary ballyhoo; the statements
are based on the strength of per-
formances already recorded this
year. Athletes who will compete
at Drake have issued the chal-
lenges to the existing marks by
turning in better performances III
the seasons opening outdoor COM
petitions, the University of Texas
relays and the Southern Methodist
relays.
The Drake marks that appear in
danger, that we're bettered at the
two southern track games, are the
100 yard dash, the broad jump, the
pole vault, and the discus throw,
and the four mile University re-
lay. In addition, the Drake times
for the howard high hurdles and
for the half m1le university relays
were bested.
1t appears then that if the same
athletes a duplicate the marks
they set to win their events at the
opening outdoor games they will
force the Drake officials to write
new names and new records on
their books.
Claude Bracey Of Rice Institute,
who turned in "a seconds century
race at the Southern Methodist re-
lays seems most likely to set a new
worlds record. Bracey has been
turning in times Of less than ten
seconds consistently ever since he
started varsity competition. At
Drake he will have another worlds
record threat to push him. Jack
Elder, the Notre Dame flash on
both track and football fields, has
sixten times equalled the worlds
mark Of go seconds for the Gen.
fury. With Eldar and Bracey head
ing a long list of sprint stars, the
Drake record Of 9.5 seconds set in
1926 by Roland Locke of Nebraska
appears in danger. Perhaps even
a new worlds record may be set,
provided the athletes are given a
good day without a wind.
