In Vault; Eastern's
Miles Dash Star
By George Huber

A 12-foot, 3h-inch pole vault,
best ever done around here in high
school meet, featured yesterdays
30th annual &c" Club track and
field games at Central High stadi-
um. That soaring figure was turn
ed in by slim George Brasfleld OF
Woodberry Forest School of Orange,
Va. It. bested a former meet rec
ord of 10 feet, B-inch by Alvin
Webster Of Harrisonburg (Va.) High
School that had stood since 1885.
No other records were broken as
the more than 500 schoolboy thin
clads found the track q bit slow
after the recent rains, but excellent
times of 9.8 in the 100 and 22.8 in
the 220 were marked up by little
Forrest Miles of Eastern, one OF
three double winners.
Mercersburg Military Academy
registered 20 points to take the
meet for the second straight year.
That retired the Cornell Alumni
Trophy for a three-time winner. as
Mercersburg also had won in 1874.
Others among the leaders were
Eastern, "a points; Staunton Mill
tary Academy, 1S; Episcopal High.
161a: Patterson Park. 16, and Wood
berry Forest, IL 7/l0.
Running features of the meet
were Miles duels with Joe DetWller
of Mercersburg in the dashes. The
Eastern splinter put on late drives
to win in both. Miles also ran an
chor on the Ramblers' winning half
mile relay team to share individual
honors with Bob Spears of Staun-
ton. Spears won the discuss and
shotput events for the second
straight year and ran first on staun-
tons winning sprint medley relay
team.
The third double-winne was red
haired Ed Myers Of Mercersourg,
who captured the hurdle events.
