A A 'Vl'cMullen wins his heat in the 440 RELAYS The 12th annual Mansfield Relays proved to be record-breaking in three ways. T'he crowd was the largest to ever witness this event. More than 1,300 athletes, representing 111 schools were present and eleven records were broken. Wright, of Huntington, W. Va., topped the tall timbers in 15 flat to eclipse the old record of 15.4, and he also set a new mark in the low hurdles of 26.2 seconds. The old one was 27 seconds. O'Rourke, of Warren, set a new high jump record of 6 feet 515 inches to better the other one by 3M inches. In the half mile run, Brelsford of Birmingham, Mich., cut 5.33 seconds off when he turned in the time of 1 minute 59.2 seconds. 'Other new marks were set by Cleveland Central in the mile relay, the time being 3 minutes 36.6 seconds. Toledo Scott in the two-mile relay in 8 minutes 30.4 seconds. Erie, Pa., in the shuttle relay with the time of 1 minute 5.5 seconds. Giles of Newark in the shot put. He hurled the iron ball 50 feet 3-'A inches. Sorek of Erie, Pa., in the javelin throw, the spear going 180 feet 5 inches. Johnny Linta who scaled the bar when placed at 12 feet 816 inches. One of the disappointments of the carnival was Callista's poor showing. He ran the hundred in 9.8 seconds last year, and he was expected to repeat this year. However, he was bothered by a bad ankle and, consequently failed to place in the 100 yard and he ran a poor third in the 220. A more perfect day could not lbe asked for by the spectators or contestants. The track was dry and fast. Cleveland Central put on a last minute spurt to edge out Toledo Scott by a half point. In all, Central collected 251A: points. Sandusky, last year's champion, and 'Mansfield were not among the .first ten. ML .I O'Rourkc of Warncn I-3.11111 clears the bar at 6 ft 5Vz in

1. I Nagle gets rid of the iron nulrble, while Linta is up in the air TRACK Although the track schedule has not been completed at this writing, it is believed that the Red Streaks will have a fairly successful season. In its first meet the Red Streaks did not fare so well as they dropped a 69-49 decision to Fremont. Johnny Linta paced Mansfield with two firsts in the pole vault where Mansfield took all the places and in the 220 low hurdles. The other Mansfield wins were contributed by Nagle, Dials, and McMullen in the discus, high jump, and 440 yard dash, respectively. Although the local cinder churners were picked to cop most of the firsts, the fieldmen procured more. Both outfits were hindered by freezing weather. With Linta leading the way, Mansfield thoroughly trounced a favored Newark team 75-43. Linta took both hurdle events and, of course, the pole vault. Joe Logan pounded out two firsts in the 100 and 220 dashes. Dick McMullen, Dials, and Bailet won firsts in the 440 and high jump respectively, also the 880 yard relay and mile relay teams broke the tape ahead of Newark. The Red Streaks dropped a close decision 509, to 67'A., against Columbus North. Again Linta cupped two firsts to lead the scoring. Joe Logan, ebony flyer, won the 100, and Dugger threw the discus 100 ft. to come in first, too. The mile relay team also pounded in first. This year's edition of the local cinder burners were the first ones to go out of the state. They traveled to Erie Strong Vincent, Erie, Pa. However, the locals lost 5622 to 70Va. Mansfield again domi- nated the pole vault with Linta winning, Hershey placing, and Lyons showing. Big Elmer Dials won the high jump and javelin throw. By the way, this was the only time Hillbilly could throw the spear as it is outlawed in this state. McMullen, Nagle, and Smith won the 440, discus, and broad jump re- spectively. The mile relay team composed of McMullen, Rose, Sampsel, and Fleming, came in first as' did LeMunyon in the 220 dash.
