The score was 501/2 to 441/. Don Cooper, star Wolverine hurdler, who accounted for 10 points in the meet for high individual honors by winning first place in both the low and high hurdles, shattered the first field house mark of the meet by run- ning the high hurdles in :08.4, cut-" ting two-tenths of a second from the time made by Voelker two years 'ago, and equalling the dual meet record made by Hubbard in 1923. To com- plete this performance Cooper ran the 65 yard low hurdles in :07.5, tying the dual meet and field house record made by Hubbard, Michigan, in 1925.

Farrell Benson, out in front, was unable to shake Hornberger from his heels, and the Wolverine star did not attempt to gain first place until the final lap. Here the two battled in a fast sprint,. with Hornberger coming from behind in the final turn to finish in a dead heat for first place. The time of 9:49.5 was more than 13 seconds be- hind the dual meet time made by Is- bell,j Michigan, in 1923, but cut :08.6 seconds from the field house record held by Callahan, another Wolverine distance man. Lomont Wins Half Mile The biggest upset of the day, and the deciding factor of the meet, came in the 880 yard run, where Cornell, favored to score at least five points in this event, cut down without a point, while Lomont, Beals, and Pfluke fin- ished in that order to add nine points to the Michigan total. Northrop, Michigan captain, and Reed of Cornell engaged in an inter- esting dual in thepole vault, but nei- ther could clear the bar past 12 feet 6 inches. Prout, Northrop's team- mate, tied for third with Williams, Cornell's remaining entry. In the high jump, however, N>rthrop was un- able to hit his stride, and failed three times at 5 feet 10 inches. Waldo, his teammate, turned in a fine perform- ance, clearing the bar at this height to tie with Berry and Vollmer, Cornell, for first honors, giving Michigan three of the nine points. Lovette Places Second Jack Lovette, shot putter, made a' mark of 44 feet 8 1-8 inches in his event for a second place. Murray, Cornell, placed third, giving his team a six point total for this contest. The relay proved to be a close race, with Cornell winning by, a few feet only.
