WHEATLEY THIN CLADS SWAMP AUSTIN
Locals Capture 12 of 13
First Places to Tally
92-24 Win
By U. JAY
WITH some six hundred sports enthusiasts looking on, a
" brand new chapte;-. in San Antonio sports history, was
written Saturday afternoon, on the Phillis Wheatley senior
school campus, when the city's first dual interscholastic field
and track meet was stUged. with the Wheatley Lions swamp-
ing the thin clads from A'.derson high school, Austin, by a
score of 92-24. The roarii.g Lions won all but one of the
13 events. j off his time.

Wheatley Wins 12 Events
Wheatley won first place in
twelve of the thirteen events, and
a majority of the second and
third places. In three events, the
70-yard hurdles, the high Jump,
and the KHO-yard run, the Wheat-
ley athletes made clean sweeps of
all three places.
Performances Good
Considering the fact that, for
many of the participants, it was
their very first track competition,
end that the track—improvised
and not, of course, of standard
construction—was slow, the per-
formances, as a whole, were good.
Wells, Austins only winner of a
first place, stepped the century
in 10.G seconds; Polk, Wheatley,
won the 2l!0 in 24.6, and Yates
unleashed a powerful finishing
kick to easily cop the quarter mil?
ln 65.5 seconds.
The 100-yard daah, and the 440
were the most thrilling events of
the foot races. Wells, flashy lit
tie all-around Anderson high
athlete, and Owens and Polk, of
Wheatley, battled it out In the
century, with Wells and Polk
pounding down the stretch on al-
most even terms, with the final
"kick" of the Austinit^ bringing
him victory.
The finish of the quarter mile
was o close that there was some
doubt In the minds of the spec-
tators as to just whom did pTace.
Yates came from behind to come
in easily the winner of first place,
but Knowles and Butler, of Wheat-
ley, and Wright of Anderson were
so closely bunched that even tlio
Judges were troubled. Second
place, however, was awarded to
Wright, the Anderson runner,
while Butler got third, and Know-
les, at first declared second, fail-
ed to be placed.
The crowd also got a kick out
of the mile. The hard-working
Wheatley captain, Nathaniel Dunn,
after trailing for thre© quarters,
let loo.«e with a final 440 that left
only dust in the faces of the pace-
setters. lie tore in with yards to
spare to win the event in five
minutes, fifteen seconds. Had he
better Judged his pace during the
early stages of the race, he could
fcirve easily sliced many seconds
each event, the colors of the vic-
torious school were raised to the
top of a "victory" pole atop the
school building. There were hot
dogs and soda pop, and candy,
and all the things that go to make
a big time interscholastic event.

Troop 70, and his Boy Scouts as

America honors to three erstwhile
stars of the Southwest conference

proximately 1200 students, teachers
and friends.
James Peters, stellar guard,
senior and captain was chosen on
all the "all-America" teams in the
country. Peters, rugged as they
come, and as fast as any back,
for four years has been a terror
to opposing teams. It was a fit

on the gridiron. Peters was
presented two gold footballs, one
each from the Pittsburgh Courier
and the Chicago Defender for hav-
ing been selected on both first
teams.
Norman Tadlock, big 217-pouil
tackle, whose brother became
famous in the center of Tuske-
gee's great team's line during Ben
Stevenson's hey-dny, came through
this year with a brand of play so
superior that often he was mis-
taken for a backfield man on the
opposing team. Fay Young and
the Chicago Defender presented
him a gold football for his mem-
bership on the first team.
Voted the best line plunger In
the Southwest conference, Ray-
mond Hill came through, although
a sophomore, and placed, on the
second tenm and was presented
with a silver football thereby
swelling the list of Southern's men
