Scholaste: Track Reéofd Well CENTRALITES HAVE SET TEN OF FIFTEEN MARKS High Jump Made in 1898 Never Has Been Bettered. Dear and McFadden Only Boys to Have Top- ped in Two Events. BY JOHN B. KELLER. ECORDS of any nature alway R school track and field championship of these important games has been vearly fixture the betterment of old tionable. That this difficulty may be overcome to some extent in the E,Dcm”‘m canoe regatta to be held at future, there is presented herewith a set of high school mect records |the tidal basin bathing beach, July 1. are interesting, and those of ath- letic contests especially so. Unfortunately, these facts apparently have been overlooked insofar as the annual Washington high are concerned. No complete history kept and at every renewal of the marks has been more or less ques- believed to be the best obtainable under the conditions. The compilation is the result of delving into musty files of The Star ws far back as 1894 when the first attempt at holding an interhigh school track and field meet was made. events have been checked carefully. Through succeeding v 5 the various Where possible, those credited with the records have becn consulted and the tables have been reigrred for revision to faculty members and alumni of the high schools ho have followed closely the athletic activities of the Washington scholastics. 1z wnust be understood clearly that tlesa records are not to be consid- ered as covering the entire field of school athletics in Washington. They are gleancd from reports of high school cutdoor championship meets and do not take into account any spe- ssial scholastic affairs that may have ®een held In connection with college or club events. However, there have heen few competitions for the school- boys outside of the high school an nuals and not many sstablished therein have been excelled In other scholastic carnivals here Re ave been in the making | tor nearly thirty vears, and it is in-| teresting to note that all of the five! high schools have contributed to ‘the extraordinary marks. Central ath- letes have been responsible for ten ot them, Tech boys for three, West- |~ erners for two and an Eastern repre- | sentative for one. Business gained | its place In the record class some years back, when one of its students equaled a leading mark The first record definitely estab- lished was that for the high jump. It was made by George W. Curtiss, a Centralite, in 1898, when he cleared the bar at 5 feet inches in a meet on Georgetown University field. Al- though bettered in practice by many high school athletes. this mark has) stood throuzh all succeeding meets. Rankin of Tech managed to equal it at College Park in 1912 and EBuck Wise of Business made a similar Jump on the same field in 1915, Mc Fadden, Central's stellar field per- former. achfeved the feat in 1920 and | this spring. Curtiss a Brilliant Performer. Curtiss, by the way. was just about the best boy of his day in the high | schools. He was a pole vaulter of note, a clever hurdler, an excellgnt! broad jumper and held records in all} of these events in his time. Some of those who followed athletics in Cur- ! tiss’ day believe his pole-vault mark | still a record for the high schools.!| but, according to summaries of meets | im which he participated, he never topped the bar at ten feet. & height which has been cleared by three boys | in_the past sixteen years. Dick Dear and Leslie McFadden, both of Central, are the only athletes credited with holding more than one record. Dear, the best sprinter ever developed in the Washington high schools, established marks for the | of the records ; century and furlong on Georgetown University fleld more than twenty | years ago. His 10-second hundred!| Was equaled by Morse und Maxam} Westerners, but the splendid time o 22 2.5 seconds for the 220-vard never has been matched. McFadden's records were made in| the pole vault and javelin throw, in | which he clearly outclassed his fleld ; during _his four-year h term. He set the pole vault mark at! 10 feet 8 inches two years ago, al-| though not closely pressed in the! event. The best previous mark. made | by Bill Thrall, Tech's husky represen- tative, at Van Ness Park in 1906, was two inches less than McFadden's ef- fort. McFadden made a javelin rec- ord the same day he established his vaulting mark and bettered it thel following year. Kent Has Field Day. i A noteworthy feat was performed by Sidney Kent of Central, in the broad jump. In his second trial at| Georgetown fleld on June 9, 1905, | Kent leaped 21 feet 7% inches, much better than any other high school boy | here had done before or has since achieved. This particular meet was a | big affair for Kent. In addition to| setting a broad jump mack, he won the 220-yard flat and huridle aces and ran a dead heat with Bryan Morse of Western in the final of the century,) covering the course in 101-5 seconds. | Morse had won the first heat of the event in 10 seconds. In the 220-yard hurdles, Kent was credited with a time of 262-5 seconds, now the rec- | ord, but was not given a mark be- cause he toppled the last hurdle. The quarter-mile record of 0.53 has withstood the assaults of good run- ners since 1906. Noble Clagett of Central made this time in a race at Van Ness Park, in which he was well pressed by Phelan of Western all the way. The Red and White runner was | beaten only a vard. Another mark likely to stand for some time is that of 0.262-5 for the 220-yard low hurdles, made by Paul J. Blackistone of Central, at College Park, Md., May 18, 1912, Blackistone's time was rather remarkable in that there were but two other boys in the race. He won the race by fifteen yards and the second runner was as far ahead of the third. Tech Distance Runners Score. Tech boys have a corner in middle- distance marks. More than fifteen years ago Byrne, a Manual Tralner, stepped a half ciose to two minutes and the record stood until another Tech boy managed to knock a couple event | janother one-fifth of seconds off the time. In 1916 Mon- roe Sheehan was expected to lower the figures for the 880 yards, but poor judgment cost him a race with Latta of Central. Sheehan more than made good the following year, how- sver, tu the first meet heid in Cen- wal stadium. In winning the half tn 2.02 3-5, Sheehan led from the start, and before 400 yards had been trav- ersed had spread-eagled his fleld. The mile record of 4.45 was set May 29, 1920, by Johnny Gross of Tech, in a brilllant race with Bob Montgomery of Central. Monty, who had made the record in 1319 with a mile run in 4.47, was favored to point the way to the Tech youngster when they met. Gross, however, ran a heady race and sprinted so sturdily toward the finish that he breasted the tape fifteen yards ahead of his Central opponent. Gross also shared in the making of another record, that of the mile relay race. Johnny ran third on a Tech team that traversed the route in 3.35 in Central stadium May 18, 1918. Car- penter was the first runner of this quartet and Hough the second, while McNamara was anchor. This meet, by the way, was remarkable for the speed shown in several other races. McNamara did the 440-vard dash in 0.53 2-5, just a trifle slower than the record, and Carpenter came within two-fifths of a second of Dear’'s time for the furlong. The lone record credited to an East- erner is that of 41 feet 10% inches in the 12-pound shot-put made_ by Leo Flaherty at College Park. Md.. May 20, 1916. Flaherty outtossed his nearest opponent by more than five feet. His put bettered a record of long standing, that made by Al- fred C. Duganne of Tech. with a heave of 41 feet 6 inches on George- town fleld May 25, 1904. Hal Sup- plee, who scored many points for Tech about @even years ago, exceeded LIST OF RECORD HOLDERS IN D. C.

This event was dropped from the meet program thereafter and is not likely to be resumed. Tech boys flirted’ with the hammer throw record iin the early days of their competition nd Everett Ballinger once held the ark. Al Duganne raised it, but Cy with his great heft grabbed the honor n 1906 and bettercd his record the following year. i The 1921 meet in Central stadium was ~ productive of three marks for the 120-yard high hurdles and hop, step and jump being estab- | lished in addition javelin performance. to McFadden’s Arthur Nichols of Western, who had_clipped two- fifths of a second off the timber- topping mark fin 1920, reduced It ot/ a second the next_year, when he won the race in 16 4-5 scconds. Lee Douglas, another Westerner, raised the hop, step and jump fleutes to 40 feet 13 inches. This latter event until this vear was a strictly Western affair. In the discus throw Central gen- erally has held sway since the days of Duganne at Tech. The Blue and White bovs repeatedly have set rec- ords for the flat weight, and this spring Jim Birthright hurled the disc 105 feet 3 inches to overcome the mark made by Hugh Johnston, Cen- tral’s track captain last vear. With the exception of one year fhe high-school meets have been held an- nually since 1894. two years very little interest other than among the actual competitors was manifested, but in 1896 a cup prosented by The Star, ‘to become the permanent property of a three- time winner, was placed in competi- tion, and the games assumed much importance among the high schools. Central, with a larger student body and greater facilities for training than the other schools, has dominated the track and fleld contests. Of the twenty-eight meets held, Blue and White teams have won all but two. Western, with a sauad headed by Jones, who won three events, took the games in 1913, and Tech was vic- tor in the 1918 carnival, in which Central did not take part.
