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

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

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
. Jefferson's' 39. r- -' " . :;f.rt'.:A.s.i.;'
Uneora high, the oldest school tn the
circuit won in 1907 and 1908 but since
-then the Rellsphtters have been forced
to, keep in the background although It
can be said that a west side high ath
lete always has managed to score at
least one first place in each of the IS
annual sessions. 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. No
meet was held In 1917 because of the 'out
break of the World war,
