Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-06-02

Stanford scored exactly Asa
points, tallying in nine OF the 10
events. This more than doubled
/ the count of the nearest Cardinal
rival, Southern California, which
tailed 81 points and thereby
added to the rout of the East.
Pennsylvania finished third
with 1874 points, New York Uni
versity fourth with ID, and Yale
fifth with 15s. California, the
third contender from the Pacific
Coast, finished in a tie with Pitts
burgh for sixth place with II
points.
Except that its proportions exceeded
even the rosiest expectations, there was
nothing startling or unexpected in the
team victory for Stanford, but there
were plenty of record breaking thrills
in one of the greatest competitive
carnivals in the half-century history OF
the East's blue ribbon meet.
To Phil Edwards, the dusky N. Y. U.
flyer and Canadian Olympic star, went
the main honorS as he Spread-eagled
his field in the half-mile run. In de-
Tending his title successfully EDWARDS
not only shattered the 14-year -old meet
record of the famous Ted Meredith, set
at 1:53 in 1915, but also equaled
Meredith's American outdoor record OF
1852 is, made in 1916, and was only
three-fifths of a second behind the
world record of 81 3-5, made by DR..
Otto Peltzer Of Germany at London
in 1926.
Edwards was primed for the greatest
race of his career and did 1t, as a
crowd of $4,000 spectators cheered him
on. Running the first 440 yards in less
than SIS seconds, Edwards was 80 yards
in front of his teammate, Fred Welt.
Going into the last lap, it appeared
the slim but beautifully -striding Negro
had set off at too fast pace. He
seemed to slow down rounding the last
turn, but had enough left to finish fast,
breaking the tape IS yards in front of
his nearest rival, Chapman of Bates,
with Veit third.
Hill Sets Jump Mark.
The Far West took its share of the
record busting honors when Jesse Hill
of Southern California broad jumped to
new meet mark of rs feet 70 inch,
while Harlow Rothert of Stanford
Clinched the shotput title with the
toss of so feet 3 inches, which he made
in the trials yesterday and which was
good enough to beat his teammate, Eric
Krenz the 1928 champion. Krenz made
a gallant effort to overcome his rival,
but his toss of so feet Is inch was good
only for second place.
Another long-standing record was
toppled when Jimmy Reid, Harvard
captain, came from behind to win for
the second straight year in 8 minutes
% second. This barely displaced the
record Of 9:22 Us, made by Ivan Ores
ser of Cornell in 1919.
A fifth record was battered when
Sid Kieselhorst of Yale, retaining the
title, won the 220-yard low hurdles in
% $40 seconds. $40 Of a second better
than the mark Get in 1898 by A. G.
Kraenzlein of Pennsylvania. Because
o; the stiff wind at his back. however,
kieselhorst's mark was ruled out.
Several other records were threat
ened. Eric KrenZ, retaining one of the
two crowns he wore last year, came
close to his own mark in the discus
when he hurled the winning throw of
1873 feet inches. Three pole vaulters
attacked the world record Of IA feet,
made by Sabin Carr of Yale two years
ago, but all failed and finished in a
first place tie at Is feet inches. The
trio consisted of Ward Edmonds of
Stanford, Jack Williams of Southern
California and Fred Sturdy Of Yale.
Leo Kirby of Stanford was just short
of the javelin record when he won with
204 feet inches.
Stanford's Big Three.
Stanford captured three first places
and tied for fourth through the in
dividual efforts of Rothert, Krenz. Ed
monds and Kirby. This quartet alone
collected 25 points, enough to win the
meet. Altogether nine of Stanford's
starting squad Of IA athletes figured in
the scoring.
"Hec" Dyer, the rangy Stanford
sophomore sprinter, was twice only
few steps short of the fame that goes
to sprint champions. He contributed
eight of the Cardinal points by finish
ing second to Karl Wildermuth of
Georgetown IN the 1o0-yard dash and
