Exciting Relay Race.
The most important single event in all
of the contests was the mile relay race in
which Woodberry Forest defeated the
Episcopal High School in a heartbreakinG
finish for the high school championship OF
the state. Last year, after losing many or
the other events. the home school repre-
sentatives defeated Woodberry in the relay
race and thereby retrieved the other losses.

School students were again centered on
their relay team only to be disappointed
when victory seemed almost assured.

ing sprint between these two. Getting away
a little better than his opponent, the Epis-
copal High School runner led the Wood
berry Forest man by the slightest margin
all the way until within few feet OF the
red Irvine. AS the two came In on the
homestretch the shouts OF the home school
students and supporters were deafening.
They fairly implored Latane to win for
them the coveted victory. The High School
runner responded nobly, making a great eff
fort, but falling exhausted just before
reaching the goal, while Granger sprinted
past. breasting the line and bringing VIC
tory to Woodbury..
