Franklin Hollis '27, David White '29, and A. E. French '29 were the victors in the first events of the Winter Track meet yesterday afternoon.
Hollis broke the University indoor high jump record with a six foot two inch jump. E. V. Renouf '28, with a three inch handicap, took second honors when he cleared the bar at five feet ten inches.
White made a 22 foot two inch leap, with a six inch handicap, in the broad jump. A. E. French '29, jumping scratch, was bracketed with Geoffrey Parsons '30, holding a two inch advantage, in a jump of 21 feet eight and one half inches. French again distinguished himself by winning the 16-pound shot put with a 45 foot three and a half inch throw, taking into consideration his six foot handicap.
