of 20 minutes fiat. Larry Powell, /
Clayton Jones, Leon Peasants
and Dave Ebert of Glass shaved
almost six seconds off the record
of 3:39 set by Durham High in

for his record throw in the discus. /
It was the third event in which |
he participated and each contes-
tant was limited to two. However,
Coach Bradford insisted he was
not aware of the situation and
pointed out that the discus throw
was scheduled to take place ahead
OF the broad jump. Officials de-
cided to let Wade's throw stand |
and to erase his second place fin

winning throw two years ago.
The meet. held in memory of
Alexandrians who lost their lives
in the two world wars, featuresI
the presentation of trophies to
every winning relay team. Glass
walked off with two such cups
plus the Nicholas Colasanto Tro-
ply, presented by the former city
manager of Alexandria annually
