On top of the news that the C. I. F. (California Interscholastic Federation) has voted unanimously voted against allowing Glendale's sensational track squad to go to Chicago to compete for the national interscholastic championship in June, another blow was handed the Dynamiters today when it was learned that the C.I.F. had also voted not to allow Frank Wykoff's record of 21 seconds flat he made in winning the 220-yard run at Modesto, (Saturday, May 7, 1927)

because of a slight wind at his back.

Wykoff's mark of 9.4-5 seconds in the 100-yard dash, which equals the mark set by Dick Wehner of Brawley last year, was allowed.  He and and (Russ) Slocum, his teammates, ran almost a dead heat in this event.

But because of a slight wind was blowing at his back, despite the handicap of a soft track, Wykoff's mark in the furlong was thrown out.  So, in spite of the fact that Wykoff could have lowered Sudden's old mark of 21-4-5 seconds under any conditions, the San Francisco boy's mark still stands.

ANOTHER MARK

"Dink" Templeton, Stanford track coach, was one of the timers for the meet, which would tend to allay suspicion that the timers were of uncertain caliber.  Templeton caught Wykoff in 20 4-5 seconds, he told Normal Hayhurst, the Glendale Coach.

He also caught "Jeddy" Welsh, Pasadena's star hurdler, in 14 4-5 seconds in the high hurdles.  This mark will probably be allowed to stand.  Welsh also won the Iowa in 24 seconds flat.

By the edict of the C.I.F.,  Glendale loses a rosy chance of snaring national publicity by winning the Chicago meet with (Russ) Slocum, (Frank) Wykoff, and (Harold)  Falter representing them. A ruling of the federation prohibits teams competing outside the state, and the officials refused to make a special dispensation in favor of Glendale's sensational performers.

SURE OF TRIP

As Wykoff and Slocum are both juniors in high school, the Glendale chamber of commerce, ready to send them east, will not risk having both declared ineligible by sending the two youngsters back in spite of the ruling.

The two sprinters who helped the Dynamiter squad win the Southern California and state meets have been promised a trip back to the junior national A.A.U. (Amateur Athletic Union) meet, wherever it is held by the Hollywood Athletic club (H. A. C.).  The H. A. C. enlisted the two sprinters and Harold ("Tiny") Falter,  12 pound shot-putting champion, under their colors.

Glendale loses by graduation only Falter in the shot-put and (Bill) Mainland in the relay from the team which proved to be one of the most brilliant in western high school history.  Coach Hayhurst declares that a faster man than (Bill) Mainland is coming up for the relay team, and with (Frank) Wykoff, (Russ) Slocum, and (David) Zaun returning, a better  world's record for the 880-yard baton event looms for the school next year.
