BY LEWIS F. ATCHISON.
Out on the field after Central had
clinched the annual high school
track championship yesterday, the
crowd was calling for AL Hayden,
Jimmy zuppa and other Viking
standard bearers who had paced the
team to victory with individual tri-
umphs. And richly deserving Of
praise they were, too, for no Central
team ever before had shown to bet
ter advantage than the one that
beat off a stout-hearted Tech outfit
to win by a narrow 71-67 margin.
But down in the steamy recesses
of the dressing room, Hardy Pearce,
coach of the triumphant team, was
talking of other lads, the unsung
heroes of the meet. The names Of
Jim Porter, Arthur Brasse, Mike
Dennikos, Jim Kurz and Fred Dunn
came into the conversation as
Pearce retraced the progress Of the
exciting hooflng carnival, event by
event.
Boys Behind Winners Help.
"We knew what Hayden would do
you don't find many high school
quarter-milers like that boy-and we
felt confident Zuppa and our mile
relay team would outrun anything in
town, but we didn't know how our
place and show men would stand
up against the others. After all,
you can win every event on the pro-
gram and lose the meet If another
team is better balanced. We were
particularly worried about field
events-we knew Tech was strong
there, a lot stronger than us, but
the boys came through in the pinch.
They proved they're real cham
pions."
Pearce was correct on both counts.
To begin with Central had an edge
in first place points over Tech, 1925,
winning six events to five for Rusty
Thompson's crew with Hayden cap
turing the 440 and 220 for the first
of the days three doubles. Then
the second, third, fourth and fifth
place youngsters. running like mad
for every place, every point, went out
and held that lead. And in the final
analysis it was Russell Lamar, Steve
Murphy, Forest Roberts, Steve
Adams and Bruce Aaron-boys who
finished fifth in their respective
events-who had as much to do with
Central's victory as Hayden and
other first place victors.
Ed Barham, Techs brilliant field
man, led the individual point scorers
with II. winning the high and broad
jump, placing second in the javelin
and third in the 120-yard high
hurdles. Third double-winner of
the afternoon was another Techite,
Dick O'Brien, who won the high and
low hurdles, easily outdistancing
Frank Culin, Woodrow Wilson dark
horse, whose time was best in Fri
days qualifying rounds. Neither
Culin's 15.4 for the high hurdles Fri
day nor OBrien's similar time yes
terday was allowed for a new re-
cord because both knocked down
hurdles. Both had beaten Grover
Everett,s mark of Is seconds fiat.
Barham contributed one of the
days two new records. lifting his
1.-THE frame 6 feet, l 3-16 inches over
the crossbar to smash the high jump
mark of 6 feet Is inches, hung up by
Eddie Miller of Eastern in 1885. The
second new record was credited to
Woodrow Wilson's Earl Trager, who
churned up the cinders in a 1894
mile, knocking two full seconds of
the old figure established by Frank
Miles OF Eastern II years ago.
