Community's Braveswere in a corner - the samecorner they found themselvesm this time last year.But superb performances byBilly Box, who ran despite avery painful muscle pull, and other top performances by his brother Willie, l^nny Boyd, Willie Jones, Eugene Franklin, Steve Nix, and Gary Martin took the title by seven points over the tenacious AllenKg levA couple of last minute changes by Braves couch I eland Edge, and the fact thatthe changes work'd out for thebe-1, probably took the championshipB * Johnson, the burlv •' oihall fullback with sprinter speed, was slt; ratched after thePI elimmaries Wednesday morning, taking a hip chunk out of the Braves relay teams Also, Fdpe switelred Willie f ox from the sprint relay team to the mile relay and the330 intennediate hurdles andfie came throuph in fine fashion in troth, takinp a first in the 330 hurdles and runninp a strong anchor lap on the mile relay.”W« felt like we could dowithout Willie iCoxi in the spnnt relay and pet more points with him in the intermediate hurdles in repionals. It was the first time fie had run it this year,”revealed Edge.Cox took the intermediate hurdles in a fine time of 42.7 considering the very stronp wind that was blowing.The Braves managed to ease past Alien in the intermediate hurdles and widened that lead in the 220 when Gary Martin took it without really being pushed Allen pulled to within three points in the mile when MikePoteet and Jerry Check took 1-2 in that event. Allen was expected to do well in the distance events and didn'tdisappoint.So coming down to the mile relay the Kagles needed to tieat the Brav**s if they hoped to win the meet, but could place no better than third behind the Braves in second plait*There were some unfortunate problems that arose for other teams yesterday. Don Van Bovers, the fineFarmersville intermediatehurdler, and a member of the Farmers’ sprint relay team and one of the top competitors in the 120 high hurldcs, had to scratch all his runninp events when fie was injured in thepole vault.Boys** City’s Henry Carr was simply magnificent in the 440, and you could say that in fins area fie is probably in a class by himself.He took the 440 in 52.8, which was a poor time for him, hut with the strong winds that were blowing it was a respectable clocking.The heavily muscled young man finished at least four yards - maybe more - ahead of Billy Cox in his specialty andran a great anchor lap on the mile relay to give the Bulldogs those two events.Carr's team mate William George, a freshman running the rare ordy the second time, pul on a groat show of guts and conditioning in the 880.George started off hack in the pack, and began to make his move on the back stretch of the second lap At the turn he was third and then second, passing Gary Marion and going after Donnie Howard of AllenAbout 40 yards before the finish George put on a tremendous kick to take thewin at 2 :09 .0 , with Howard second at 2:10.2 Marion came in third.As expected the Braves' Gary Martin took the 100. 220 and the long jump. His top time this year is 9.7 in the century and he was far off that mark Wednesday with a 10.1, but again the wind was the hip factorIn the 220 Crandall's I-arry King pushed Martin most of the way but the long striding Braves runner beat him by five yards at the finish.COMPLETE RESULTS:Shot Put - ill Mike Hulon, Allen, 50-10 12) Jones, Allen (3 Johnson, Community.Discus (li Jack Hammett, Allen, 124-10 lt;2i JamesThomas, Princeton (3iRichard Dugger, Allen.I^ing Jump - il) Gary Martin, Community, 20-2 (2) Billy Cox, Community i3) Henry Carr, Koyse City.High Jump - ill Billy Humphrey, Koyse City, 6-0 i21 Gail Goodman, Allen (3) DonVan Bevers, Farmersville.Pole Vault - (1) Steve Nix, Community, 11-6, new record (old record set by Nix, 11-3, 1973 (2) Kodney Vaughn, Allen (3) Tommy Barr, Allen.44o Relay - (1) Community, 45.5 (Eugene Franklin, Mike Stanley, Billy Cox, GaryMartin) (2) Koyse City (3) Allen.880 Yard Dash - (1) WilliamGeorge, Koyse City, 2:09.9 (2) Donnie Howard, Allen (3) Gary Marion, Allen.120 Yard High Hurdles - (1) Willu* Cox, Community, 15.5 lt;2) Gail Goodman, Allen (3) Earnest Clayton, Princeton.100 Yard Dash - (1) Gary Martin, Community, 10.1 (2) Carry King, Crandall (3) Brent Whitsell, Princeton.440 Yard Dash • (1) Henry Carr, Koyse City, 52.8 (2) Billy Cox, Community (3) Kobby McElyea, Allen.330 Int.
