Tokyo, May 24.
Toribio's great two-metre leap in the high jump, bettering the record the international Olympic Games and approaching Osborn's world record, prevented the first day's track fand field events in the Far Eastern Olympic Games being an all-Japan show. The feat of the Filipino star provided the climax to a day of thrills, in which six Far Eastern records were obliterated, including. those for the 1,500-metre run, the broad jump, the discus throw and the high jump. While these records were made in the finals, two other Far Eastern records were established in the heats for the 110-metre high hurdles and the 400-metre dash.
In the high hurdles, Yoshio Miki (Japan, Keio University alumna: came first in 15.5 seconds, thus shattering the record, 15.8 seconds, established by the Filipino star, Rabay Tu the 400-metre race Itaro)
nakajima (Japan, Waseda Un-ersity) established a new record by covering the distance in 49.4 seconds, thus beating the record, 50.6 seconds, made by Estrada, the Filipino sprinter, in 1927.
