DIVA CITY, Iowa, March 9.-Three
records, including a new American
mark, were established and two
i were equaled as Iowa scored sur
priSing triumph in defeating I'LL
nois, defending champion, in the West
ern Conference indoor track and field
championship meet here tonight.
The Hawkeyes, scoring in seven of
the 10 events. amaSSed total of 20 2-3
points. Illinois, making a courageous
but losing fight, was the runner-up,
with 20 So. Wisconsin was third, with

The balance of the points we're divid-
ed as follows: Michigan, 1876; Ohio
State, z; Indiana, 6; Purdue, s. North
western, 3, and Minnesota, l..
Record in Pole Vault.
The new American record established
was in the pole vault, which Henry
Candy, 21-year-old lad of Mount
Pleasant, Iowa. won with leap of Is
feet 712 inches. Candy made this rec
ord-breaking performance off a dirt
take-of and eclipsed the former record
of 13 feet 3-16 inches made by Tom
Warne of Northwestern in a dual meet
this year. The record established by
the Iowa youngster is distinct from the
mark of IA feet inch made by Sabin
Carr of Yale, who achieved his record
off board floor.
The other records established were
in the 1-nile run, and 70-yard high
hurdles. Orval Martin of Purdue ran
sparkling race i'll the mile. coming
from behind in the last $50 yards and
breasting the tape in a burst of speed
in 4:22 9-10, clipping a e second off
hn cot ny, @E 10
State in 1926.
Harold Hayden of Chicago won the
70-yard high hurdles in 0:08 lilo, set
ting new record. His performance
took one-tenth of second of the
former record held by Frank Cuhel of
Iowa.
Simpson Wins Sprint.
George Simpson. the seasoned sprint
or from Ohio State equaled the confer
ence indoor record of 0:06 2-10 in the
60-yard dash. He broke the tape a
scant foot ahead of Eddie Tolan,
Michigan sophomore Negro star. Judd
Tinm of Illinois, who established the
record last night in his trial heat,
finished fourth in the final tonight
almost foot behind Root of Chicago.
David Abbott of Illinois, in equaling
the 2-mile record of 9:26 4-10 made a
gallant attempt to better the mark.
Abbott finished better than a half lap
ahead of the field. He was clicked IN
4:S7 for the first mile.
Illinois doom was sealed when 1t was
shut out in the mile relay. finishing a
poor fourth in the second section OF
this event. Iowa won it in 3:25 6-lO,
chiefly through the efforts Of Vaughn
Stevenson, the Hawkeye anchor man.
who picked up 10 yards in the greatest
avJ,it1iti0y, of crit and discrimination
displayed in the meet. Stevenson over
took the Ohio State anchor man close
to the tape, winning by a scant yard.
Three sophomores, Thomas, Ferguson
and Depping, ran with Stevenson.
Early Lead Futile.
The Illini, overwhelmingly favored to
retain the championship, began to lose
heavily after going into the lead when
Abbott won the 2 mile, and Orlovich
and White finished ip dead heat in
the 880-yard run. Thereafter Illinois
was losing ground with Iowa picking
up points and steadily increasing its
winning total
Illinois missed the performance OF
David Abbott in the mile run and was
disappointed by the failure OF Judd
Timm in the 6O-yard dash, and Rodgers
in the hurdles Abbott was kept out
of the mile so he could try for record
in the two mile. Timm, after winning
the 60-yard preliminary last night In
record breaking time, could do no better
than fourth in the final tonight. Rodgers,
figured as a certain point winner In the
hurdles, failed to place.
The Hawkeyes won three events, m
GLIDING the relay, and also grabbed
second and third place in the 70-yard
high hurdles. Vaughan Stevenson won
the 440-yard dash and Candy the pole
vault for the HawkeyeS. Klarr,
Northwestern vaulter, broke his right
ankle while trying for Is feet along
with Candy and Warne.
