through by a narrow margin until the
last turn of his last lap and then Cas-

Little by little from that point the
New Workers opened up the lead on
their opponents. The supporters of
George Washington pinned their faith
To LoraHdo-that clever runner who has
pulled the Bun and Blue out of tight
places before. But when he took up
the race he was yards behind Gargan,
the last man for Fordham, and try as
he might he could only cut down the
lead a little.
Goes Magnificent Effort.
The mighty Coe. Of Michigan. was on
hand to put the shot. to smash records
II possible. ana he worthily upheld his
reputation. But he failed TO make n
rev worlds record with either the six
teen or twelve-pOUnd shots though he
tried both. The best he could do with
the sixteen was forty-five feet. which
s new record for indoor meets in
Washington.
With the lighter shot ne made the
long put of fsty-five feet II was an
nounced that this was "A new worlds

pected of Seitz, the old Georgetown
runner, who was entered last night
from the New York Athletic Club. and
in the open fifty-yard handicap ne
came UP to these expectations. He got
away very quickly, anc finished ahead

Of Pennsylvania. but IN the invita-

race because Of false starts. The lat

comparatively easy thing Of it.
Few Distance Races.
The distance races were few and far
between. There was one mile event,
handicap which brought out a big
field. ROoden, unattached. took the lead
and held il for the first half. setting Il
good pace. The scratch man. Brenton,
of Johns Hopkins, gradually wCrmed
his way to the front. But he shot his
bolt little too early in the game. On
the last lap. Griffith, Of Mt. Washington

he distanced his man, winning in 4:4S
But one dead heat was run, and that
in the scholastic fifty-yard handicap. In

School; c. =. Hamilton. OF the c. a.

crossed the line together. On the run
off Hamilton won, with Stollenwork
second.
It was decidedly a night of relay
races. Perhaps none of them had a
audience than the race between the
George Washington and Georgetown
freshmen. There has been great rivalry
