Y. High 4 Nephl 1 Provo high school won the Region Re-gion Three track and field meet Friday afternoon in the "Y" stadium sta-dium for the third time in the past four years, by piling up a total of 65 1-3 points. 20 more than the second place team, Pay-son. Pay-son. Last year Provo nosed out Pay-son, Pay-son, which ultimately took the state championship. The Bulldogs of Coach Glen Simmons also won the regional title in 1332. Scoring heavily the mile, quarter-mile, javelin and discus, the Bulldog tracksters counted points in every event but the 220-yard 220-yard hurdles, the broad jump and the pole vault. Seven new records "were set up during the meet of the 10 schools two of them being in the two hurdle races which ar? changed this year. The old 220-yard low hurdles is reduced to 200 yards; the 120-yard nigh -hurdle obstacles have been cut down from 42 inches to 39 inches. Byron Woodland of Provo set the pace in record smashing. The long, rhythmic strides of the curly-haired curly-haired Bulldog distance man carried car-ried him to a new record in the mile; 4 minutes. 39 and 2-10 seconds, sec-onds, lowering his old mark of 4 minutes 42 seconds, by nearly three seconds. He finished 200 yards ahead of the second place man. Woodland repeated in the half-mile, half-mile, cutting down Bud Barber's old record of 2 minutes 5 seconds, by going twice around the track in 2 minutes and 5-10 seconds, which is just second slower than Jack Burton's state half-mile record that has stood since 1925. An exhibition of steel nerves and eourage was given by Tydd Johnson, Lincoln nigh' pole vaulter who set a new record of T2 feef 1 Theh," 7-8 or aii inch higher than George Gour-ley's Gour-ley's old regional mark. At 11 feet, the pole broke under Johnson just as he reached the xenith of his leap. He was whipped to the ground with a force that knocked him unconscious uncon-scious and injured his hip on the broken pole, yet he kept on to win. Ellsworth Breaks One Other exceptional records were Payson. The husky Ellsworth pounded into the tape barely ahead of his two fleet rivals, Frank Sutherland, Provo, and Dick Boor-man, Boor-man, Springville. Rex Gourley threw the discus 126.8 feet, 6 feet beyond Boyd Mc-Kean's Mc-Kean's mark, made last year. Allen Christensen, Spanish Fork, set up the mark in the new 200-yard 200-yard low hurdles event, and also in the 120-yard high hurdles, although al-though his time in the high hurdles was not as good as LaMar Fullmer's record time in the old event. Ellsworth, Sutherland and Boor-man Boor-man ran close faces in both the 100 and the 220, with Russell Niel-son Niel-son of Pleasant Grove and Glen Smith, Lehi but a shade behind.

One-mile relay Lincoln (F. Long, Gillespie, Pyne, Conder), first; Spanish Fork, second; Provo, A taste of football in track meet weather will be afforded Provo Monday afternoon at the "Y" stadium when the Cougar varsity squad will wind up the spring training season by playing a powerful alumni team. The game will begin at 4 p. m. Officials of the contest include C. J. Hart, referee; Carl Swenaon, umpire; Don Dixon, lineman; Reed Colvin, field judge, and Walter Hier, timer. Although the varsity outfit is in fit condition as the result of weeks of training, and the team is built up with a fiery set of sophomore backfield men, plus some big .and powerful linemen, yet they have a tough assignment in tackling the alumni crew. Included on the line for the grads are two professionals, Burle "Buke" Robison, and Max Nis- onger, who played for Memphis last year and did a bang-up job of it. Robison was end, Nisonger, tackle, and both are mighty tough babies on the field, Robison shines as a pass receiver. Then at guard the alums have Max Warner and Dewey Favero, the two main stringers of the' 1934 Cougar team. Bliss Hoover, Owen Rowe, Frank LaComb, Clug Vacher, Russell Magleby and others in the backfield, and a' strong crew of grads on the line make up a respectable team for the alumni. An interesting angle will be the way the newcomers to the varsity squad, recruited from a talented freshman team. 7 Local Residents Are Naturalized Right-hander To Face Bludgeons of U. S.
