Hjill, P.E. instructor at the Annex, showed lots of prom ise in their dual meet with Allen Academy last Tuesday. Although the Annex tracksters lost to Al len by a 74-4h point majrgin, it proved to Hill; that there are a number of track-talented fresh men at the Anpex. “With a little practice jl know we can beat Allen next tithe,” Hill optimisticly said to some of his sprinters as they were, departing from the track area. Hill said dual meets with Allen in the past had always ended in a deadlock. Thomas was the high point trackster for the Annexrhen with 10. He to'ok i first place in the “high timbers" by out-hurdling Graham of Aljen with a winning time of. i6 minutes and 5 seconds. Thomas then did a little more “leg stretching” by western-rolling 5’ - 8” to take a first place in the high jumping event] All three pljaces of the brohd- jump went to t|he Aggies from the Annex.' Zuber with a jump of 19’ 8” was first; Boyd and Stod dard hurled themselves far enough through 'space to secure 2nd and 3rd positions for the Annex team. Iron-man Lathan went out in front it the sound of the gun in the mile run and never was surpassed by the hard-pressing, Allen boys. Latham bucked stiff winds to come Jn with a 5:19 time. J Stout 200 pound John _ Frey threw his weight 10 feet in the pole vault event to take first hon ors. The’440 yd. relay consisting of Ahnexmen Garcia, Stoddard, Tranhan, and Snyder looked good with ! their hand-offs and quick starts as they edged a victory over the Allen quartet in a fine race.
