special 100 yard dash. Numerous
other Race athletes were entered,

drawals at the last minute.
1898 athletes were entered in
the University, College, High
School, Junior High School and
Grade School divisions. That was
an even 200 less than the list of
1912 entries. However, far less
than the number of athletes enc
tered actually competed.
TWO RECORDS FALL
Although the entry lists sag
ged, the calibre of athletes en-
tered remained high.
Two Drake Relay records fell
when Pete Watkins of Texas A.

year-old high jump record OF
g. 6" held by Harold Osborne of
Illinois with leap of g. 81 for
new Drake Relays high jump
