Ellis Rule in Pole Vault,

Y YALE, as expected, led the Eastern
challenge but finished nearly 10
points behind the winners with
total Of 25l2, thanks chiefly to the
fact that the Ellis pole-vaulting trio,
led by Keith Brown and Frank Pierce,
in a flrSt-place tie, collected III
points in this event alone. California,
with three first places, landed In third
place with 20 points, while New York
University finished fourth with i8
and Harvard fifth with 1914 The
rest of the teams were scattered
through the standing, Including
Michigan State with points and
William and Mary, the South's lone
entry, with 6.
Stanfords shotputter, Lyman,
shared the days record breaking
laurels with Kiesel, who equaJed two
meet marks and lowered another with
two marvellous performances on q
track still heavy from the effects Of
yesterdays downpour.
Despite poor start, Kiesel rushed
to the front quickly in the 100-meter
final, broke the tape three yards In

the defending champion, fourth, and
equaled the record of 10.6 seconds,
made in last years first whirl at the
metric distance. Kiesel also was
credited with equaling Frank Wy
kof's mark Of 96 seconds at the
l00-yard mark The Californian
came back in the 200 with another
great burst of speed, spread-eagling
his opposition as he finished five
yards in front of Bob Kane of Cor
nell, in 209 seconds, cutting two

Lyman Breaks Record.
r YMAN twice broke his own I. C.
IL A. A. A. A. record in the shot
put, besides surprising the we'll
battered listed world record, as in
quick succession he tossed the l6-
pond ball to distances of SO feet
l15s inches, and then on his final
throw, So feet 234 inches. This was
still about a foot short of the best
Lyman has done so far this year and
well shy of Jack Torrance's unoficial
world mark of SIS fet ~ inches,
made in the Drake relays this year,
but it wiped out the Stanford stars

Tiger Bill was caught in the ruck

he was "all out" to beat Bill Ray Of

the champion came through. His
time of l:54.8 was fast under the
conditions existing.
CTANFoRD's exceptional all-around
y performances, despite two days Of
bad weather, were in contrast to
the disappointing work of Eastern
teams expected TO give the Western
ers a real battle for the team cham
pionship.
The Indians dispelled all doubt
about their prowess under pressure,
