Norman Dur-* . .ment, Highland Park, swept over tile 200 yard low hurdles in : 22.2 to set a new record in that event. Bill Williams, Oak Park pole vaulter, cleared the bar at 12 feet, 11% inches,’ in the Armory, where all the field events were held because of the poor condition of the jumping pits in the Stadium. Bob Kehberg, Morton, * ran the 880 in 1:58.7 to complete the record breaking.Rain Delays MeetOriginally scheduled to start at 1 p. m., the meet was delayed by a heavy thunderstorm. Finally, after inspecting the broad jumping, pole vaulting, high jumping, and shot put pits, officials voted to move these events over into the Armory. IA crew of workmen then went to work on. the track, which was in fine condition for a crew race. * Forty-five minutes later, islands of earth were visible .through the water, and it was decided to begin the meet. High . hurdles were set up and the finals of the forty-fourth interseholastie track meet officially were under way.Olsen Wins High HurdlesDonald Olsen, Austin, had been_ ►looked upon as the favorite in this- * . *event, favorite that is until it was ascertained that, he had drawn the outside lane, which looked like aswamp.

In the second event, the 100 yard dash, the favorite Flip Anders, of Moline, also drew the outside lane. Art Schlauder,/Downers Grove, who has finished third behind Flip in last year’s Interscholastic meet however, proved a good mudder as he whizzed out to take the lead^ and try as he would the huge Moline lad could not overtake the flying Schlauder. This is only the second time Flip has been beaten in the last two years.A few moments later* Flip got his revenge. He whipped Schlauder by a , comfortable margin as he drove over the 220 yards in :21.5.Another mudder was Eddie Culp of* .... ~Englewood. Running a steady, calm,. •carefully timed race, he splashed—ovdr the mile in 4:29.3 to win by a 20 yard margin. Bob Espy of Ur-bana, defending champion in the mile, could do no better than third this year.Outstanding performance of the day, however, was turned in by little Norman Durment of Highland Park in the low hurdles. Effortlessly, smoothly, like a floating feather, he moved into, the tape a good five (Continued on Page Six)Wildcats Outnit. j* t?.

Pacotti struck out nine men to Kaufman’s one. Each twirier issued two base on balls. ..Pacotti was the second choice tostart today’s game as Leo Salnatl, regular No. 1 hurler for the Illini, has been troubled with a sore arm. Pacotti went the full route, as. diet Kaufman for the losers. .Sainati may have been troubled*with a sore arm, too sore to pitch, but he made two wonderful assistthrows* yesterday, both of which cut% • »off a run at home plate.. Playing; int. left field, the position that he orig- inally occupies when not pitching, Sainati fielded Cleo Diehl's single to left in the third inning and wing- * ed the ball home as Jack Woy tried to score from second base on the hit.The runner was caught four feet• * -from the plate by the perfect throw.Wildcats Start ViciouslyAgain in the sixth inning, Jim Werd polled a high fly that sailed over Cy Mazeika’s head in.deep een-ter field. Mazeika dashed back, hurled the ball to Sainati who rifled a perfect throw to Pacotti, who tossed to Tom McConnell to tag Ward a foot in front of the plate.?The Wildcats started off with a bang in the first half of the first inning after AI Lustig had fouled-' out to Nykiel.
