PKAIKIK VIEW hold her an-
nual relayh last week. It sure was
a gala day. For the first time
in the history of the event, the
AA cluss high schools participated
in the eatne meet with the colleges.
We had just had a hail storm in
this city, you will remember, and
the weather was Just a little
cr.olish as we departed for the
State's Negro land grant college
at 5:30 a.m., on tlie day of the
meet. We kept hoping and pray-
ing all the way to the scene of
th< inert that the weather would
clear up and get good and warm;
hut n'as, on reaching Prairie View,
the wind blew a thousand miles
an hour, and it was colder than
n little dead boar's ears. We and
the rest of the spectators shivered
in the Icy blast, and congratulated
ourselves on reaching the ripe old
age where we didn't have to shed
nil our outer garments and brave
the elements in shorts.
UNFORTUNATELY for the con
textnnis, the strong cold wind was
directly In the face of those
athletes coming down the straight-
away. We believe that if the
wo.:ther had been warmer, some
records were doomed to be busted
There was a feller from Xavier
named Farmer, who is s'posed to
be able to go over 13 feet in the
pole vault. Another feller from
the same place was the best high-
jumper I ever oeen. I saw Harold
Osborne of Illinois, when he was
the world champion high jumper
at (9* feet, 5.125 Inches. But this
Jong bronze athlete from Xavier
l>y the name of Thompson, hopped
over 0 fe*t, 5% inches, and then
JUHt barely mt**ed th© bar two
higher. Kllerbe of Tuske-
nee was' fn u class by himself In
the sprints. If rnnniqg on each
others heels makes for smashing
of records, then the mile relay
would have had to go. The fact
that the records in the pole vault
nnd the mile relay were not broken
can be Attributed to the cold
weather.
THK RECORD WENT in the
college division shot put when
Williams of Xavier heaved the
Sphere 49 feet, 10Mj inches. It
seems like it was liia own record
that he busted—so it stayed in
the family, «o to speak.
XAVIER RAISED SAND. They
copped -I firs is, six seconds and 7
thirds in the special field and
tracks events, and then went on
to win .'1 relays races and place
second in the only remaining relay
race of the day.
THE SUPREME THRILL of the
day was the final event, which
brought the meet to a story-book
climax and finish. The event was
the one-mile relay, which was won
by Prairie View. Xavier and l'rai-
rie View fought it out all the way.
It was a nip-aiul tuck affair;
finally IW.'s anchor-man, national
junior AAU c h a m p i o n, John
Marlon, was handed the baton
some four or five yards behind
Xavler's crack foursome. The
Texan finished his career for P.
V. in ir blaze of glory, as he over-
took the Xavier athlete and won
the event for his school.
THK GALS RAN beautifully.
There were entries from Tuskegee,
Wiley, and Prairie View*. It must
have been a big thrill to Coach
Abbott of Tuskegee, who, by the
way, was the official starter for
all events—it must have been a
big thrill for him to see his
daughter mount the victor stand,
a la Olympics, and receive her
awards from the "queen of the
relays". Some of those little girls
sure rnn like the dfflceus. It sure
set me to thinkiri' of what a shame
it is that all the girls in the
country don't have an opportunity
for tills type of competition. Some
time or other we have to get
educated Into knowing that girls
arc humans and arc given to much
the same type of feelings, emo-
tions and reactions as our boys—
that they are no longer to he
placcd on pedestals and function-
ally weakned hy idleness and in-
activity. Nobody within the scope
of our auditory conception (hear-
ing to you) was rat enough to
make any kind of remark about
the costumes of the women athletes
—these were just about the same
as the men's—and the spirit be-
tween the sexes on the field was
one of one athlete to another: ap-
pending excellence; unselfishly

PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas.—A crowd of 4000 spectators, brav-
ing a chilling North gale, saw Coach Ralph Metcalfe's
Xavier university tracksters, presenting a well balanc:d team,
run away with the honors in tho eighth Unnual Prairie View
relay carnival.
The Xavier tennis team proved to be just as formidable
by copping honors in men's singles and finishing one and two
in the doubles. Tuskegee copped
honors in the women's section,
winning both singles and doubles
first and second places.
The Xavier tracksters, besides
winning first places in three of the
relays—the 440, the 880, and the
two-mile—barely missed making
it a grand slam when nosed out
at the finish by a great Prairie
View relay combination. The
gold-shirted lads went on to win
five other first pla.es, and failed
to place in only one event oil the
crowded schedule, the mile run.
The women's section of the car-
nival was again dominated by
Tuskegee. Tho lassies from Tus-
kegee copped four first places in
five events. The 440-yard relay
team of Birge, Abbott, Smith and
llymes literally showed its heels
to the rest of tl:e field!
The Prairie View lassies, now
in the third year of competition,
Mulshed second in four events and
first in the 50-yard dash. The
running of Miss Louise No a I was
a thrill of the carnival. The relay
combination of Joiner, McKinney,
Pentecost and Neal bids fair to
become first place winners ere
the present season closes.
Kllerbe of Tuskegee showed all
speed in winning the 100 and 220
yard dashes over a fast field which
included Blockett of Xavier and
Blssant of Wiley
True to predictions, the Bishop
college team furnished the surprise
of the carnival. Coach Jimmie
Stevens' cohorts finished third In
the 440 and &W relays, and «e ond
in th# two-mile. Not a poor
showing for a new coach and a
partially new team.
Lloyd ^Thompson continued to
dominate the high jumpers. John
Marlon, national junior RfiO-yard
champion, continued to rule the
half-inllers. Bu«ler of Arkansas
won the 440.
The quarter mile relay proved
to be a thriller. The team of
Woods, Wilson, Miles and Brown
of Xavier literally showed it heels
hen of Xavier who won the singles
and teamed to win the doubles.
