The events, which came of yesterday af
ternocn on the Georgetown College cam
pus, were closely contested, and although
the Central boys won first place in eleven
of the twelve events, they were pushed
every time for the honors, and although
the score looks as il the races and field
sports were one-sided, the spectators in
nearly every instance saw close contests
and exciting finishes. The Central Schools
superiority lay in the fact that 1t has a
larger rrmber of boys from among whom
to pick, that they have been more faith
full in their training ana have followed
closely the advice of Trainer Foley of
under his charge for the last two sea-
