...annual I. C. A. A. A. A. track meet held in the Stadium yesterday afternoon, the championship University of Southern California squad strengthened its chances to repeat in the finals this afternoon by qualifying 12 men, two more than either Yale or California, who are intrenched in second position. Houser, the brilliant weight man and leader of the Trojans, more than lived up to expectations by shattering both the shot put and discus marks in his qualifying efforts. Stanford and Georgetown each placed nine athletes in the semi-final and final events scheduled to start at 3 o clock this...
...east has no Ralph Hills this year to head off the Pacific slope, but Houser of Southern California, the Olympic champion, and Gerkin of California probably will know they have been in battle before emerging from the week-end competition.

If he had had the drive and energy of Houser, I believe that he would have smashed Ralph Roset's record of 51 feet. The first man who can combine the qualities of Houser and Hills will put the shot 54 feet...
...Houser breaks the record this year it will be the first time in nearly 40 years that the record will have been broken three successive years, and probably will mark the first time in any meet that 49 has been broken by the shot-put winner for that many years.
