With Vanderford setting the pace
for individual performance, the
Jones Junior College thinclads had
very easy sailing in annexing the
State Junior College Track and
Field championship at Moorhead last
Saturday. Coach Erie Young's we'll
balanced and talented array of ath-
letes placed no worse than third in
any event and finished with a grand
total of SO points by virtue of top
ping their opponents in 10 contests
out of a possible Ia.
Harrison : Stone Jackson Junior
college of Perkinston tried desper-
ately to give their rivals a close bat
tie for honors but were far behind
in second place with 49h tallies.
In third position was Copiah-Lincoln
Junior College of Wesson with SO
markers, Sunflower Junior College
of Moorhead was fourth with 32A
counters and Holmes Junior College
was fifth with 1914.
Very favorable weather prevailed
for the occasion, but only n record
was bettered during the proceedings.
Don Anderson of Ellisville heaved the
iavelin a distance of 1S4 feet, 2
inches to surpass by 9 feet, 4 inches
the mark of TIA feet. 10 inches pre-
viously held by Thomas, also of Ellis
vile. Hollingsworth of the Bobcat
aggregation closely approached the
existing time in the S%80-yard run by
stepping the two laps in 2:02.2. The
conference figure is 1897. Grafton
of Jones cleared the bar at 5 feet,
IL inches in the high jump as com
pared to the circuit reading of 5 feet,
liz inches; Talbert of Jones leaped
over the high hurdles in :15.2, only
one-tenth of a second slower than
the record held by the youth him
self: and Vanderford of Ellisville
negotiated the 220-yard dash in
:22.6.
The triumph was by the widest
margin in a number of years and
much credit deservedly should go to
the victorious outfit which gave evil
dence of being well coached.
Vanderford of Ellisville led the
scorers with 1914 points to his credit,

with IL, Talbert of Ellisville with 10
