Thre'e,FinalsBy Don Selby

Lowell High's Jim Plessas, the,busybody of San Francisco prep'track and' field, paved the way,yesterday ·to become· the sixth:person in Academic Athletic Asso- i

ciation annals to win thre'e first!places in one city track and field:meet .

Plessas, who bettered the State:record and established a new city'

mark in the low hurdles Tuesday Iand smashed the city broad jump I

standard Wednesday, handily wonhis heats in the hurdles and 100yard dash in yesterday's CityMeet semifinals at Kezar.

The great Ollie Matson ofWas h i n g ton High won threeevents last year. Before that noone had recorded such an accom.!

; plishment since '1939. :Tomorrow Plessas will lead his'·

team in quest of Lowell's fourth!consecutive AAA track and field i

championship. IWhile Lowell has qualified

eleven men for fifteen starting})ositions, ten Buccaneers haveearned Balboa an equal number"of starting spots. Both schoolshave qualified relay teams.

Chuck Hqward, Balboa's biggun, yesterday won his semi­final in the 100 and, strangely, Iput on the brakes to take second!rather than first in the 220.

Bruce Vincent of Lincoln thefavorite in the 220, pulled uplame in the 100 and was scratchedfrom the furlong.

The number of starting posi·!tions, including the relay, forwhich each team has qualified:

Lowell 16. Balboa 16. Lincoln 13. Wash­Ington 12. Poly 11. SI. Ignatius 8. Gali·leo 7. Commerce 5. Mission 3.
