The efforts of the early-day stars compare very favorably with those -of the last few years, althoag-h not oie mark established la the first five meets holds good today. The seasons which brought forth' largest number of pecord-makinar endeaTors were 1912, 1913 and 1915, . when, between them. 10 out of a possible ;l;4 -Were :re-i corded and one was tied. 1 Two were chronicled in 1911.-one in 1918 and one in 1920, although in the two, latter meets the 100-yard 'dash record of 10 1-5 seconds, made by Richard Grant of Washington high in 1911, was equaled. ; JLthletes rep4 resentinsr "Washington high, dominate with five and one tie. Jefferson, high not a member of the present Portland Of all the records there are at least two which present day athletes have not been able even to come "cloae, and they are Paul Wilson's 4 :31 in the mile and Ixrals Johnson's 47 feet 2 inches in the 12-pound shotput Both were mem bers of the famous' Washington high ag gregation of I912.-Their team mate. Vers - Wlndnagle, now coach at Washington high, ran the half mile in 1:69 4-6 the same year, but it came very near going by- the boards when tChuck Wright of Jefferson circled JiUl tnomah field-j for a half mile in 2 miantes flat two years so. - . .! y;-::-K-ypkTjt PAJtSOirS JUMP OLDEST MAEK Johnny Parsons, holder of the broad jump mark, will be remembered as one of the greatest football players 'ever seen in action on the Pacific coast, but he was an all-around athlete, although he did not take himself as seriously as he j might have. How he made his record leap in 1911 is an interesting sidelight The 1911 meet was staged on the old j Rose City track because the Multnomah Amateur Athletic club clubhouse and j grandstand had been razed by fire, the previous fall . and it was impossible to i. stage the annual gathering on Multno k man field, the customary place. Johnny ' was one of the spectators and he kept I after Virgil Earl, (the Washington coach, to let him put on a trade suit Johnny donned the togs and took about a. 30 sprint and then jumped. He went 21 feet 3 inches before he came down and It was enough to win the event as well as establish a new record. - - . 3ITJLKHEAD WAS STAR "Mose Muirhead, Columbia nniver ' sity, .jnade a .name for himself which has never been duplicated. Daring ' his siege he-won eight first places, four, of them in 1314. aa well aa running a lap in the relay and taking a" couple of seconds - and thirds in : other contests. Columbia won the meet in 1913 because . of the work of Muirhead and Oscar Gor- ecaity ana tne touowing year it was aimost a single handed victory for Muir head over Washington high. Both Muir- ' bead - and Goreczky made two records each in the 1913 affair and they are the only two athletes who took more than one distinction. ; ..V: -y,v Jefferson high, athletes, have taken part In 11 uterachoiastio meets in Port land and of that number the , Democrats have won six. Coach Harold W. Quig ley's representatives have sot been de feated since they started winning in 1S15-, although they had a close shave In 1910 when Xincom scored 33 as against .

Coach H. J. Campbell will have some work cut out for him in the 1923 meet, which is billed for next Friday afternoon on Multnomah field, in keeping up with that performance.
