Shermarfs Marathon Victories,1912 - 1934 'N thirty-three years of competition Sherman lnstitute's fo o t b all, basketball, and baseball teams have won a full measure of victories, even against u n iv e r si t i e s and unlimited teams. An equally consistant record has been made by her distance runners. Cups and medals brought home by Marathon teams in the 25 years they have been competing would make a striking collection. Sherman's first Marathon participa- tion brought a surprising victory when Phillip Zeyoma, hitherto just an obscure Hopi Indian school boy, romped away April 12, 1912 from a field of 150 run- ners in the Los Angeles Times Modified Marathon, 12 miles, winning over the then famous Paul Westerland, of San Francisco. Time: l.l2:08. The second victory came the same season, Tune 5, 1912, when Albert Ray, another hither- - I I to unknown runner, took first and Zey- oma second against a similar field in the Pasadena-Los Angeles Marathon, 12 miles, time: 1:l2:50. Ray was killed Won by Sherman? 1926 Crow-Cbunfry in the Argonne in November, 1918, cut- ieam in ihe Low 1fngele.r-City Terrace ting him off f r om competing in the road race.
