...defeated both Cal. and Stanford in dual meets earlier in the season, and then went on to win the Pacific Association title, and closed their home season with a crushing victory in the Fresno Relays. In the latter meet, held under the arc lights at night, the Los Angeles boys piled up 82 points to California's 48, and Stanford's 26. It is in this Fresno meet that the best records of the year are usually made on the Coast. This year the spectators were treated to such routine performancs as a 9.5 100 yard dash, a high hurdle...

For nearly a century there has been controversy over whether carbon was liquefied in the heat of the arc. The Cleveland chemists showed conclusively that the carbon does not liquefy but sublimes directly from a solid to a vapor as dry ice does.
