developed is Hanford, the O.H.-S. sprinter. He is slow at starting, but
his endurance is such that he has been known to do 50 yards in 6-1/5
seconds on a dirt track, then walk back to the start, get on his mark
and repeat the performance; and do this again a third and fourth time.
He took the 220 in 25-1/5 seconds, without being pushed, but came in a
foot behind Lippmann, B.H.-S., in the 100 on account of his slowness in
getting away from the mark. In the field events the B.H.-S. walked away
with everything, taking all the points in the hammer and shot events.
They got first in the broad jump and pole vault, and tied for the high
jump. In the hammer, Lynch, B.H.-S. threw 104 feet and won, and was
going to try for a record, when the attention of the judges, for some
reason, was distracted by the exciting Relay race, and so Lynch lost his
chances and his rights. He is said to have done 125 feet in practice. On
the whole the day was a notable success, and the scholars of California
showed themselves sportsmen of the true stripe in the enthusiasm and
energy which characterized the occasion.
