In the second series of events of the Inter-Organization track and field meet which is being held on the Stadium field this week, Tom Poor a freshman in the University, came within one-quarter inch of equalizing the K. U. high jump record, when he leaped over the bar at 6 feet, 1½ in. in the K. G. All-American contest this year. If Poor has broken the record he would have scored an additional 1000 points for his fraternity.
Fisher the Winfield high school track star, won the first heat of the hundred yard dash in near-record time of ten seconds. The Delta Umpai Kokoda Kenyan Kakameyai Phi Psi, who was a few stews behind at the tape.
