VIII Retain Good Nucleus.
Notable among members of the cham
tpionship squad listed to return are Bob
Slye, who took individual honors yes
terday with is points. ALI this little
16-year old sophomore did was to win
the 120-yard high hurdles in 16 10
seconds to clip 3-5 of second off the
former standard set by Arthur Nichols
of Western in 1921, win the 220-yard
low hurdles In % AS seconds, just one
fifth Of q second over the record, and
take the broad jump.
other leading members of the squad
listed to return are:
Hutchinson, who rang up 8 points by
winning the pole vault and placing
second In the shotput; Grover Everett.
second In the 120-yard high hurdles
George Shorb, third in the $50; Eisin-
ger. sprinter: Mccullough, half-miler;
Lynch, miller; Sprinkle. who tied for
second in the high jump, and Caron,
another promising high jumper.
Coach Mike Kelley's biggest prob
lens next season, 1t seems, will be to
ind some capable quarter mile talent
and q javelin thrower. though he may
encounter considerable difflculty in de-
veloping front-rank contenders in sew
eral other events. Kelley figures his
nucleus will not be as good as at the
start of either this season or last, but.
which he may build a reasonably
capable team.
Gains an Early Lead.
eastern gained an early lead yester-
day and it was soon apparent that
Kel1ey's proteges, who were the ia
vorites. could not be beaten. The de-
cisiveness Of their victory though, was
somewhat surprising, despite they were
figured to win rather handily.
which, incidentally was one Of the larg-
est to attend championship meet In
years, gave most Of its attention to
the keen battle for second place be-
tween Central and Tech. In the early
going Tech was leading Central, but
with the field events the Columbia
Heights boys came from behind to van
quish the Gray. Beers scored Westerns
lone points when he tied for second in
the high jump. Business was not rep
resented
Allison and Slye were the only
record breakers, but Eddie Quinn Of
Tech streaked the 100 in 10 seconds
to equal the record in winning his
heat. The mark is held by Dick Dear
of Central, who made it in 1901: Bryan
Morse of Western, who made 1t in
1905, and Sylvester Maxam, also of
Western, who made it in 1914.
Relay Race Is Exciting.
As expected, the mile relay proved a
stirring event. Quinn of Tech gained
q lead Of several yards over Weber of
Eastern in the first leg, but Glow of
Eastern passed Wohlfarth in the sec
ond quarter only to have MacCartee
brush by Swope to regain the lead for
Tech Reichman of Tech widened the
margin over Chester Miles in the final
leg.
This same Reichman turned in a
somewhat disappointing performance in
the half-nile earlier in the meet. Fig
ured to have fine chance Of winning
the event in record-shattering time, he
had to battle desperately to beat Frank
Miles to the tape. Miles swept to the
lead in the stretch, but Reichnan, who
had been in front most Of the way, rail-
lied and managed to nose him out.
Not only Allison surpassed the old
record in the javelin, but Lampson and
Long. who finished second and third,
respectively. did also, the former with
q toss of 1852 feet and the latter with
O. heave of 161 feet inches.
