| Seven new meet records were made In
the Drake games at Des Moines, while
only three were recorded ut Penn.
Weather conditions were poor In both
games, which precluded the wrecking
Of any national records.
Tolan Defeat II Upset.
The surprise of the Drake games was
the defeat Of Eddie Tolan Of Michigan
| IN fHA I'D rAVm xu,R.m 49,
been credited with 9 mark Of O:09.6 I'm
the century, fell before the rush Of
| Glass, q youngster from Oklahoma. It
| was believed that with Simpson, Bracey
and Leland gone from the sprint field,
| Tolan would easily win the Drake cen.
tury. But Glass caught him from be-
! hind and with q powerful drive ut the
tape, finished just ahead Of the Mich
igan speeder. Tolan also was hard
pushed to finish ahead of Paul Swift
from Washington State. Swift has
done 0:09.6 several times and has been
counted on to give ToIan his severest
competition, but Glass headed them
both. So Tolan failed In his final ap-
pearance at Drake as in two previous
attempts.
An injury In the shuttle hurdle relay
! prevented Lee Seminar Of Illinois from
running In the high hurdles and try
in great form this Spring and win be
heard from In the I. c., A. and Ma
tionals.
With victories for Ohio State In two
relays at Penn, Munno, Minnesota, in
the shotput and Keller of Ohio State
In the hurdles, coupled to the perform
ances made at Drake, 1t would seem
that the preponderance of track and
field strength this year is to be found
In the Middle and Far Western sectors.
