OKLAHOMA U. WINS
THE SOUTHWESTERN
MEET AT DALLAS
(Continued from Page 1.)
asle run, the broad jump, the shot,
discus, javelin and relay.
Brown of Texas showed real >claiui
in the pole vault when he cleared the
bar nicely at 12 feet. He might have
'gene higher but the last holen in the
“up rights” had been cleared when
he made this height. This perfor
mance established a new Conference
record;. the old record was eleven
feet six and one-half inches held by
Retire of Texas A. an dM.
Another record was lowered in tha
half mile when Miller of Oklahoma
broke the tape at the end of 1 minute
69 and three fifths seconds. The
winner set the pace from the crack of
the gun and was never headed altho
White of Rioe was not far back at
the finish.
The mark of 10 minutes and 26
seconds in the two miles, establishes
a record for this event also. The
Oklahoma man who won this race
alpo set his own pace from the atari.
He ran the first mile in 6 minutes
and 4 seconds and had a comfortable
lead at that time which he continacd
four lape. ”j iiM '
“Fish” Pattersoa for A. and M.
ran a great race in the mile. He set
the pace fer more than three laps,
his time at the end of the first half
was 2 minutes and 15 seconds. The
Oklahoma man however had slight!>
the better ef the argument and suc
ceeded in putting four feet of space
between the two during the last 220
yards. The Fish ran. a great race
however and gave all that he had.
The winners time was 4 minutes, 27
and two-fifths seconds. The f 880 came
so close fter the mile that none of
the men who ran in the latter at
tempted to repeat in the shorter race.
The 100 yard dash was a spectac
ular race as four men finished within
four feet 'of one snother and some
of these changed positions during the
lust five yards. The judges immed
iately went into secret session and
after hot argument decided to place
the men as follows: Abbot of U. of
O. first with McGee of the same
school and Bell of Rice a tie for sec
ond ; this left Hugon of Texas A. and
M. with ona point as -all of the re
mainder had been awarded. There
were many present who insisted that
tha A. and M. man was third. Had
Hinie been at Dallas last Saturday
there would have been little argument
as to who was first at least.
Captain Jonas settled an old grudge
when he evened up with Jackson of
Baylor defeating him . decisively in
both ,the hurdle events. It will be
rememoered that “Hungry” was set
in a hole at Baylor whan ha “broke**
in the high hurdles and that Jack-
son, noaed out at the finish.
Scott Alexander tied with Jonas of
Baylor in tha shot put and each re-
eaived a point and a half as two
made better dfatancea.
received credit for
the conference record in
the discus throw. The distances was
124 feet, 8 inches. She also took
second in this event as well as first
and second in the javelin.
One of the surprises of the meet
was the defeat of Kingsland of Rice
by Walton of Texas in the high
jump. Before the event R was gen
erally conceded that the former
would be the winner. t
The relay was s pretty race be
tween Texas and Oklahoma. The
two teams changed positions three
times durjng the race, twice during
the third quarter when Mom passe J
the U. of O. man on the back stretch
only to be in turn passed on ' the
straight sway. The time for the re
lay was 3 minutes and 28 seconds.
This is also a new record.
A. ami M. was unable to enter a
team in this event <fte to the fact
that Hugon was seised with a cramp
in the 440 yard dash before the run
ners had gore more than a hundred
yards. He fought gamely on how
ever, hoping that the knoted muscle
might relax and stayed with the
bunch until within m hundred yards
of the finish he lost entire control of
the contracted leg. In a faw miuutn*
a knot as large us u hens egg appear
ed on the surface. It will he some
time "before he will be able to com
pete again so it ia lucky that the sea
son is now past. All credit is due
this A. and M. boy. Few would have
stayed in the race with the tenacity
that he showed. He showed real A.
and M. fight, and would undoubtly
have won but for the unfortunate ac
cident as he had made as good tim<>
in previous races as the winner made.
