JACK DAVIS. GEORGE BROWN CHOSEN TRACK AND FIELD "ATHLETES OF THE YEAR"
Versatile Jack Davis of Hoover, Glendale was the outstanding performer in C. I. F., Southern Section, circles for the season of 1949*
Zavis, by virtue of his hurdling and broad jumping ability, led his
teammates to the C. I. F. title, and to second place in the California
State Meet. Jumpin' Jack was unbeaten in both hurdle races, posting a
mark of. 14»4s. in the high sticks and 19.2s. (twice) in the low barriers. In addition, he had a best leap of 23 ft. 9 l/2 in. and was
defeated only three times in that event. However, it might be noted
that two of the losses came in the C. I. F. and State meets, while the
third was suffered in a dual meet against rival Glendale. Here is a
review of what Davis did to win the C. I. F. title for Hoover:
t
•
Won the highs in 14»5s. for a new C. I. F. record; took the lows
in 19*2s. to tie his own mark set a week previous; grabbed a second
in the broad jump at 23 ft. 7 1/2 in.; and brought his relay team from
behind to annex first place honors in lm,29»#s. He repeated his hurdle
triumphs in the State Meet, notched a third in the broad jump, and
anchored his relay team to a third spot.
When a prep breaks any of the famed Jesse Owens' sterling records,
that's worthy of recognition. Not only did George Brown of Jordan,
t;Os Angeles smash the great Owens' broad jump mark, but the Los Angeles
ijity standout of the season of 1949 became the first prep ever to span
O feet. It didn't come- as much of & surprise, however, as track fans
I
"ATHLETES OF YEAR" (Cont.)
had readied themselves for a smashing performance by the Jordan star.
Rising from near obscurity early in the 1948 season, Brown was forced
to play second man to another 23-foot performer, Bobby Smith. For
the remainder of the dual meet season, Smith held the upper hand.
But Brown came into his own in the Eastern League finals, setting a
new mark of 23 ft. 10 l/2 in. From then on, he was never defeated.
Only once did he fall below the 23-foot mark, and that was on a
poor Garfield pit which had not been readied for jumping. As a matter of fact, Brown, a 9«3s. dashman, could run only a 10.6s. on this
occasion.
Adding the sprints to his repertoire only as a helping-out measure
to his team, George came through with clockings of 9.3s. and 21.4s.
The epic leap took place on April 1 in a dual meet with Huntington Park. Brown had just fouled on a jump of 24 ft. 6 in. On his
fourth attempt, he hit the board squarely and bounded 25 ft. 2 1/2 in.
The mark was approved by all officials present, and it will be only a
matter of time before Brown receives recognition as the greatest prep
leaper of all-time. A list of past "Athletes of Year" follow:
