The Corcoran Cadet Corps athletes We're
strictly lin IT. at last weeks National
Guards indoor meet where they won sew
en- out of the ten events they made entry
in as follows: Fifty yards dash, heavy
marching order. won by w. A. Dowling
pole vault by Zell: potato race by Lent;
second in running high, Boyle; tug of
war won by Moriarty, Boyle, Mastin.
and Cooley; half-mile, won by Clarence
Pearson: mile relay won by Heffner, Zell.
Mastin, and Pearson, and the obstacle
race in full uniform won by Hunter. Is
not this great showing for one team?
Capt. T.. c. Edwards to whom the most
of the credit for the success of the big
meet is due is as proud of the success of
his boys as he is pleased at having the
meet run off in good shape.
The winners of the honors were In near
~ every instance members of the basket
bail team and included Heffner. Mastin,
Iell, and Pearson, Moriarty. Boyle, and
Cooley. These men should be Civ en- an OPP
portunity to try their speed out doors
where they could really let themselves
out and not be bothered with hopping
around the corners of fiat indoor track.
1t was generally conceded at the meet
that the athletic association should fol-
low up their very successful meet with an
outdoor affair with much the same pro-
gramme. 1t is believed it could be made
a paying affair and at the same time it
would greatly increase the now quite
warm interest in Guard athletics.
CARROLL INsIlTJ IE GlMNASlO NJ.
From present indications the gymna-
stun of Carroll Institute win remain open
until nearly the end of the coming month.
OF course the date of closing may be
FASTENED by sudden change to very
warm weather. There is no sign of fall
ing off in attendance upon classes and
Prof Joyce is an extremely busy man.
There is a prospect now of an informal
exhibition being held TO show the clever
class work the members are doing in
dtVidualIy and in squads. II VIII not take
the form of contests, but will simply be
an exhibition of methods and the kind of
results they bring.
The hOwlers under Captain Cox have, by
no means. given up hope of finishing at
or near the top of the league standing
By winning three straight from the Gold
en- Eagles last Monday the CAROLS boost
as if they would crawl right up to the
Jolly Fat Men. who are holding down
second place. but the latter needed more
games. and Wednesday took two games
from the COlumbias and again drew
away.
The team is bowling well. and may yet
surprise some of the wise ones. Brosnan
has lost none of his cleverness. In the
last set Of games he had an average of
l79. German led his team. however, with
19l average, and is closing up the season
as he began it. with good strong bowling
Tony" Rice, one of the veterans of the
league, is keeping up his average in great
shape, and is the surprise of the season.
He is giving lots of tine youngsters les
sons in the fine art of bowling. His aver
age of 1T5 in the last games was in keep
ing with his general work during the sea-
son.
Harlow. one of the best bowlers in the
leagu has had run of hard luck during
the last month or two. mostly brought
about by an ina hility to control an in
curving ball IL is a straight-arm deliv
cred ball. but despite all efforts, il has
a disastrous incurving finish Livingston
has averaged well on the season, and will
be a good man TO keep on hand for next
years team. o. p. SCHMIDT.
