Parsons ran for the University OF
Southern California 25 years ago
and in one season scored 30 points
He was the first man ON the Pa
cific coast to run the 1lundred-yard
dash in 8 As seconds. and in the
same meets would run the 900 in
% seconds flat, the 440 in 40 Sec
onds, and a lap on the relay team.
In 1904, Parsons competed at the
St. Louis Exposition, and defeated
Nick Cartwell, eastern intercollegi-
ate champion, in both short dashes.
The next year, competing for the
Olympic Club of San Francisco. he
won the national A. A. u. Junior
and senior championships in the
l00-yard dash at Portland, Oregon.
In this meet, he defeated Archie
Hahn. Dan Kelly, Clyde Blair and
Forrest Smithson, all nationally ia
nous sprinters. Kelly eventually
became the first man to run the
century in 3-5 seconds.

Mickey Walker, one Of the best
