The six men combined forces Saturday night to make the Mth annual California Relays the out- standing meet of 1955, with three world record performances on the baked clay Modesto track. Writing the new records were Franklin (Bud) Held with a whis- tling toss of 268 feet. 2% “Inches in the javelin, the University of | Texas’ 440-yard relay team with a sizzling 40.2 seconds clocking, | and miler Wes Santee, who ripped off an 880 in 1 minute, 48.5 seconds. Santee; the ex-Kansas cowboy, is unlikely to. get recognition in the record book although he. bet- tered Mal Whitfield’s recognied 1:48.6. The man he beat by 20 yards, Lon Spurrier of Lackland Air Force Base, Tex., has a recent 1:47.5 dual meet clocking which is virtually a cinch to stand.

W — Michigan Normal’s five-year reign over the JAC track and field competition was snapped over the weekend despite two record performances. Jim Podoley led Central Michigan to the team title by less than a single point. Central Michigan wound up with 59 11/15 points to runnerup Michigan Nermal’s 39 3/15. The only other serious ,‘challenger among the five Hlinois members of the conference was Eastern Minios which took third with 45 points. Podoley, Olympic decathlon can- didate, accounted for 27 of his team’s total points. He finished first in the 100, 220, low hurdles and the broad jump; took a sec- for second in the high jump. Michigan Normal set records in the mile mile relay and the two-mile team of Dean Smith, Alvin Frei- den, Jerry Prewit and Bobby Whil- |den announced before taking the track that it was making a final bid for the 40.5 seconds record set by the University of Southern Cal- ifornia in 1938.

GUY MOATS Pontiac Press Sports Editor | EAST LANSING — Pontiac High School’s unbeaten track team Saturday afternoon capped its most succéss- ful season in the school’s modern history with an over- whelming victory in the MHSAA 1955 state champion- ships. Chiefs operated much in the same pattern that has shaped their season-long action—collectin points all down the line of events, for a smashing 51 13/14 total. But for an unexpected mishap in the half mile relay, the count would have been bigger. Chiefs’ reputation had precedes them. Every event rought the comment, “now what's the Pontiac team going to do?” Usually it was a real try for leading places, and if a PHS athlete wasn't in front he might be close up. Before the meet had gone two- thirds of the way, Pontiac was :| generally conceded the victory. With five of 13 events still to be run, Pontiac had amassed a 31-13 edge over the nearest competitor. Detroit Catholic Centra] later gave way to Flint Northern, which had given PHS its most determined op- position in four meets this season. But Vikings could add only four | points to that early total for 17, as runnerup. Pontiac's total was more than the combined figures of the three next best schools. Officials pointed out that the winning count was the largest in the last 10 years. lay team edged Pontiac in a rific finish drive that new mark of 2:28.1. But Sexton's time in the 1st section of be content with 3rd place. It was the 1st time. the speedy PHS quar- tet had been headed this. year. | _Fordson’s No. 3 runner, 440-man | Bill Campbell, later set a 49.7 quarter mile mark. Chiefs didn't waste any time going after points. Jones sped to a 14.6 mark in the high hurdles pre- day's opening event. Mark was not allowed because of a for in the final, he hung up a 145 mark. He cut a tenth of a second off Horace Smith's 1941 record. Smith witnessed the new mark. Smith is a Flint junior high coach. Before noon Jones had ‘won the broad jump with his best leap, a 22 foot 5 inch mark. Altogether Pontiac collected four ists, a 2nd, and four 3rds. Bill Douglas shaved nearly ye — and around the field te win going away. Muskegon’s entry was a tiring 2nd while Norris Jackson missed Srd by inches in a great finish sprint, While the high jump and pole vault were going on, Chiefs hit their season's Ist relay losses, They turned 2:30 in the medley, but were run out to a 3rd by Fordson and Sexton, both of whom were under that time. On the 2nd baton exchange in the 880 relay another runner collided with Char- ley Robinson and the Chief ~ dropped his baton. The exchange had been made, with Jim Shorter well up front. Recovery of the baton left the PHS anchor man far behind. The state title had already been won when 5 foot 5 inch tall Alex Barge and 6 foot 2 inch Hudson Ray chased away all competition around the 6 foot mark, then went on to tie for 1st 6 feet 34 inches in the high jump. Both failed to break the old record of 6-4 set in 1950 by Milt Mead, former Bay City ace, now one of U. of M.'s top jumpers. Barge really stole the show. . One of the pepplest squadmen, always “hepping up his team- mates, Alex apparently used his any competitor. As he kept on clearing the bar with ease long after it had topped his own height, the bleacherites caught on, Each successful jump beyond the 6 foot mark brought a salvo of cheers from the stands. When Alex and Ray finally ended their tries, they ‘flipped’ for the gold medal. Axex won, and turning to the writer, said, “I finally got my Ist place, I've been behind all along, but this is fine.” Two of MSC’s leading fumpers spent a half hour with Alex, after the event was over, complimenting him on his fine approach and lift. They offered some pointers that should help Alex to better his jumping. Schloerke and the three PHS coaches, Ray Lowery, Dean Wil- son and Ed Graybiel were all de- lighted with the grand perform. ance of the 19 boys who made up the qualifying squad from the Ypsilanti regional. One more meet remains on the PHS schedule, the Saginaw Valley Undergrad event Tuesday after- noon at Flint.
