second. Previoussto that race the figures
for 100 yards were As seconds. Owing
to Duffey's superb condition and the
favorable conditions under which he
ran. he negotiated the distance, in 30
seconds, and thereby hung up new
figures.
Although everyone at Georgetown

semi officially that neither he nor Hol-
land will enter the intercollegiates.

trick or two in wrestling, can handle
his freckled fists with surprising alac
