Talk:Eddie Southern

Untitled
in re eddie southern, my father and I attended the texas state track meet in austin in 1955. we saw eddie southern run in the 440 dash and the mile relay for dallas sunset. my school, robert e. lee of baytown, won the the overall championship and the mile relay (anchored by wallace wilson). eddie southern won the 440 while wallie wilson finished second. my memory is that eddie was timed at 47.2 and wallace at 47.5 in the open quarter. and at that time the winning time in the mile relay was a world record for high schools. in the relay, eddie southern started more than ten yards behind wallace and made up about eight yards to finish second. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.176.69.174 (talk) 18:01, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
