Calf, March 26.-Ted Mere
~ dith's mark of 47.4 seconds
for the 440-yard dash, which
had stood since 1916, was shat
tered by Blazing" Ben Eastman,
bespectacled Stanford runner, as
his teammates lost a dual meet
to the Los Angeles Athletic Club,
80 to 81, here today.
Eastman strode through the one-lap
distance in asa seconds, one full Sec
ond under the time Meredith set 16
years ago while wearing the colors of
the University of Pennsylvania. Fiji
teen yards behind Eastman, but run
ming a AIS quarter mile nevertheless,
came James Gordon of the Los Angeles
Athletic Club to finish second.
Weather and track conditions were
ideal and there was every indication
that the record would be accepted by
the Amateur Athletic Union.
Flashes Speed Second Time.
Later Eastman, running anchor lap
In the mile relay, negotiated the quarter
in 46.6 with a running start. He al
most overlook Gordon, who had 20
yard lead when the last lap started.
Eastman's feat oversha dowed numer-
Gus other good performances that fea-
tured the Winged Mercury victory.
Talbot of the Southerners carried off
high point honors by winning the high
hurdles and broad jump and taking
third in the low hurdles.
Les Hables of Stanford was the other
double winner of the day, taking the

Record Stands 16 Years.
TIED MEREDITH, whose record with
i stood the efforts of thousands OF
quarter -milers for Is years, pre-
dicted Eastman's great performance
after Watching the Cardinal perform in
the intercollegiateS last year. this, too,
in spite of the fact that Eastman bowed
in that meet to Vic Williams Of South
ern California. Williams equaied Mere
dith,s mark to bea. Eastman and upset
ali calculations. A short time before
Eastman, too, had tied the record. This
was in an intercollegiate meet on the
coast.
After losing to Williams, Eastman
went on to win the national inter-
collegiate half-mile championship in
! minute 54 4-10 seconds. 1t was a
splendid exhibition of stamina, consider
ing the gruelling contest with Williams
that preceded.
Exceeds Expectations.
Others than Meredith predicted East
man would better the 440 record, but
the margin by which he succeeded
comes as a general surprise. The quar-
ter-nlile race is considered the most
trying test in track and Meredith's
figure was thought close to the ultimate.
The Cardinals sensational perform
ance yesterday boosted his stock as
potential Olympic champion. For two
years the United States has counted
him among its chief hopefuls in the
world meet to be held at Los Angeles
this Summer. With Eastman in the
quarter and the half and Gene Venzke
in the mile, Uncle Sam will be repre-
sented by perhaps the two greatest
niddle-distance runners of all time.

closing yesterday at the Washington

from soybeans.
Nor could they have guessed, before
listening to the speakers, including

Agriculture Department, that American
farmers harvested more than 100000
acres Of soybeans last year.
There were yellow, green, brown,
