which will be held here Saturday.
I Entries have been made by 13
universities. 10 collegee, 12 Junior
college-freshman teams, and nearly
40 high schools.
Director Clyde Littlefield said
the field of nearly 700 track and
field aspirants was one of the beat
ever to perform at the Relays, and
' those who watched the workout* at
the Unlvcrsit yof Texas great Me-
morial Stadium predicted that roc- '

good record as pole-vaulting goes,
but two competiton In tomorrow’s
business already have gone past 14

others are in the 13 feet or better
class.
Harold Hunt of Nebraska, who
tied for first in the national col-
legiate meet last year. Is one of the
14-feet vaultere and Jack Defleld
of Minnesota Is the other. David
Small ol/Yexa* Is another consid-

Other records that appear Ukaly
to fall. If conditions are good, are
the shot-put mark of 50 feet 3‘«
