One new Pacific Coast record was established when "Bill" Nelil, Oregon's unbeaten Javelin-thrower cast the Grecian weapon an even 169 feet. - Klncald field track was a miTe when the first event of the day, the mile run,J was called. The expected breaking oi records by the Oregon distance run ners was out of the question. Both Mc. Clure and Huggins tired themselves out in winning the mile in the slow time of 4:42 2-5, with the result that when their turn came In the two miles they were forced to yield to McClelland; the lone Washington starter. McClelland, however, should receive credit for a good race, for he finished fully half a lap ahead of the Oregon pair, and his time was good for the heavy going. Thrill Is Uncorked. The thTill of the day was uncorked in the final event, the relay. McCon nell, starting for Oregon, obtained a lead of ten yards over his opponent, McGillicuddy. Wright, who ran the second lap for Washington, closed in on Boylen. but at the end of the lap Oregon still had an advantage of two yards. This load was quickly over come by Crites, running against Kay and the Washington man flashed In front in the back stretch. McFee, of Washington, started the last lap with an advantage ' of four yards over Windnagle. The two sprint ers fought for the pole all around the ring, and not until they reached the home stretch did Windnagle draw ahead. McFee carried the fight almost to the tape, Windnagle's time of :52VS was fast for the track, where he col lapsed completely and was unable to finish. Nelll's Throw Apparently Kasy. Neill's remarkable throw of 169 feet with the Javelin was executed ap parently without effort on" the part of the Oregon athlete. The best previous record was 166 feet, made by Snedecor, of the University of California. Cook's performance In the same event today was not paltry, his mark being 158 feet, fiH inches. Class was shown by all three place takers In the broad jump. Both Wil liams, the winner, and ParsonB cleared the 22-foot mark, and Harmon, the third man, leaped 21 feet 5V4 Inches. The showing in the other field events was not remarkable. Edmonds, of Washington, took both weights, and the Oregon high Jumpers made a feeble showing. prists Honors Divided. Kay, of Oregon, and Crites. of Wash ington, divided the sprints, Kay taking the furlong ard Crites the century. The work of the Oregon hurdlers was above expectations Fee took the high hurdles handily, and Boy'vn, running hts maiden hurdle race in a bad lane, was beaten by McFee in the low sticks.
