In the furlong, Booker Washington High School battled on almost even terms until the last two events of the day--the high jump and pole vault--when the Washington squad pulled ahead to score a 68-59 dual win over the Cokers yesterday in Coker Stadium. The loss was only the second competition for Coach Wilmer Burkholder's char- of the week on Wednesday afternoon, in another nome two-way affair with Uniontown.

Yesterday's meet was one of the most interesting from an all- around viewpoint, seen anywhere this season, as the speed-laden Prexies, deep in a strength, and the rebuilding Cokers, came out almost even as far as. individual wins were concerned. Washington -took eight firsts and the Cokers six, with another event ending in a tie. Included in the Cokers' winning, ledger was a pair of i by 100 and 220-yard dashes in a pair of closely contested sprints, while Bob Wise swept the high and low hurdles ior Washington's victory. Pointwise, the dashes were only a point away from a deadlock (37 36 in favor of Washington) as the Cokers more 'than lield their own with the sprinting Pre'xies.

But in the field events, where the Orange and Black had shown surprising strength in four previous meets, Washington took a 31-2S final mar gin, which provided more- than enough of an edge for the victory With a one-point lead at the end of the running events, Washington began to forge ahead as the fielc events progressed, until gaining 10-point margin. 55-45, with the broad jump, high jump, and pol still to be completed Jim Nicklow and Bob Keller picked up a 6-3 edge for the home team in the broad jump, by placing fir; and third respectively, while Nor ris Vactor was second for the Prexies. Meanwhile, over in thi high jump competition, Joe Gai ter and John Taylor were com bining to net five more Coker got the lead at the start, and held it through the first 120 yards be fore Swindell put on a go-ahead burst in the closing 60 yards to break the tape three steps ahead of Booker. The Cokers swept the distance runs, with Harry Burkholder ancj Bob Little setting new personal highs in the mile and half-mile Burkholder had the mile all to himself, winning in 4:40.1 by SO-yards, going away, with John'-Hartz getting up for second. The 880 was much as Little look the lead on the lower turn at the and paced 'the pack past the stands the, first time around, Dave Keefe of Washing- on moved up to second after the irst lap, and as the field headed nto the back stretch the second ime, Little had a 15-yard lead.
