CLASS C TRACK With hill few veterans and little promising material in the Cee ranks, the Glendale midgets met Long Beach in their first conference meet. A big surprise was handed out when Lazaga took a fast first in the hundred-yard run. I- areetl look a first in the shotput lor the second Glendale initial place. Lazaga took a third in the 50-yard dash, while Brough- lon nabbed a thirtl in the 110 low barriers, .- rnolil anil Howeth placed second and third in the pole vault, and Mclrvin took third in the shotput. Houton and Mclrvin took second and third money in the broad jump, and . lbert and Flur placed the same in the high jump. The final score of the meet was: Long Beach, 52; Glendale, 25. As Pasadena had no Gee team, the meet was forfeited to the locals. The Santa Ana Fleamen took over the Blaster Babes, 41 to 36, in their annual meet. Lazaga dis- played excellent form in copping the 50-yard dash, while Fareed again took a first in the shotput. Standley of the locals also looked good while taking first in the 660-vard race. The CJlendale team also took a second and third in the high jump. Taking but three first places, together with a clean sweep in the shotput event, the Firecrackers dropped meet to .Mhambra, -t7 to 30. Howeth cinched a first in the pole vault, while Richard Arnold took a third in the same event. Jumping against Kittleson, star Moor, Bill Fleer took second place in the high jump. Faieed, Mclrvin. and Barnes placed in the order named to score a dean sweep in the shotput. Goach Gaines put his lads through the paces to the extent of taking a fourth place in the Coast League finals. Strength in the field events, but a lack of even average material for the track events, spelled low ranking for the locals. Bob . llcn was the lone man to place in the dash events, taking a fourth in the century. The Fleas took a close second in the 440-yard relay race, with the winning time at 49 seconds. Although low in the percentage column for the season, a good deal of material was ripened tor the Bee ranks and for next year ' s Fleaweight squads, during the 1930 season. Ctipf. farced r 137 1

CLASS ' ' B TRACK With El Roy Baker and foe Burris as the mainstays of his outfit, Coach Cripe sent his B tracksters up against Long Beach in the first conference meet of the year. The Oilers took this meet, 54 ' 2 to 40 ' a, with Baker the outstanding star of the meet, taking a first in the century and furlong, and tying for third in the broad jump. A first in the 660-yard run by Burris, a first in the dis- cus throw by Bangs, and a first in the shotput by Brown completed the Babes first-place scoring. Four seconds, an equal number of thirds, and a thi rd-place tie made up the remaining digits for the home team. Despite the absence of Baker, Burris, and Colburn, the Bees took a third place in a triangular meet with the Washington and Bell lighties. The heart-breaking margin of two-thirds of a point spelled defeat for the local in a meet with Pasadena, when the Glendale tracksters took five firsts, six seconds, and seven thirds. Unexpected strength in the field events bol- stered the Glendale score when Allen took a second in the pole vault, Wadey and Doner tied for first in the high jump, Andrews drew first in the broad jump, and Bangs nabbing a first in the shotput. A 54-50 score gave the Blaster Babes a victory over Santa Ana. The meet was close throughout, with several fast races clicked off. Once again Bud Smith was the star of the meet when he copped the 100 and 220 races in the meet with the Alhambra Moors. The latter were taken into camp, 57 to 47. A fast relay race was the feature of the day, Glendale winning in 1 m. 14 s. Placing but eight men in the qualifying round of the Coast League finals, Glendale was seriously handicapped by the loss of Burris, 660 man, and Berg, stellar dash artist. In the finals, Glendale copped third place when Baker tied the record in the 100 and nabbed first in the furlong. The 660 relay race fell into Glendale hands, and Colburn took a first in the pole vault, and Bangs a second in the discus, to total 21 points. Five Glendale men qualified for the Southern California finals to place sixth when Baker took a third in the century and copped the furlong in 23 Bat. Jack Bangs took a fifth place in the discus throw, making the Blaster Babes total lYz points, to wind up a moderately successful season. dipt. Smith 1 156 1
