In the low sticks to knock
218 of a second off his own
record.! Bibby eclipsed a full
half second off tho old high

mark was only t18 of a second
slower than the winning time In
the 220-yard dash.
Bibby was also the hero of the
best race of the day the half-
mile relay. : Receiving the baton
20 yards behind Goepfred of Eu
gene, who had won both the
sprints, Max caught him- in the
stretch and outsprinted the Eu
