Between them, Gordien and
Lamois tailed 20 points. we'll over

Behind Minnesota and Southern
California came the University of
Texas with 40 points, while the
University of Illinois, defending
champion and winner of three of
the last four team titles, finished
fourth with 344 points.
Other leaders in the team scrap
were California, 1914 points; Ohio
State and Michigan 18 each; STAN
ford 17a4; Northwestern 16; Rhode
Island State, 1854 and Texas A. and

1t looked as if Southern California
was too far out in front to be over
taken when Patton sped to victory
in both the 100 and 200-meter
dashes to become the only double
winner of the meet.
He led all the way in the century
as he scored over Pacific Coast
Champion Don Anderson of Calf
ornia and flying Charley Parker of
Texas in 10.4 seconds.
Then in the 200, run around a
curve, the Trojan whirlwind flew
home with three yards to spare in
207 seconds.
1t equalled the world record for
the distance around turn, set by
Jesse Owens of Ohio State in the
1886 Olympics but tail wind OF

Louis worked four rounds, one
each with Taylor. Shamus O'Brien

he still was hit often with right
