Company e, Second Regiment; See
ond Battalion, and Second Regi-
ment Prove winners in Relays.

The annual indoor field and track meet
of the District National Guard Athletic
Association was held last night In the
Center Market ArmOry.
Although the list OF entries was not as
large as last year, nearly all OF the events
were well contested. and the crowd filed
all Of the available space in the big hall.
Easily the most interesting event on
the card was an obstacle race for two
men teams. The men ran in regulation
army uniforms, and around the track
were placed five hurdles. a pair of bar
rels on the floor, two swinging barrels,
and a WALL under which the contestants
crawled. Lewis and Daily won the event.
as they made the best time OF any of the
teams entered.
In the relay races Company Z. Second
Regiment. defeated Company Z, First
Regiment. Smithson, who ran first for
the losers. had an advantage over his
rival at the finish, bat in the next relief
BOpp. of the winners, went TO the front
and from then on the team was never
headed.
The tw0-mile battalion relay race went
to the Second Battalion, while in the
regimental event the Second Regiment
proved to be the winner although Lo-
rando spurted nicely on the last swing
around the hail, and made Schiosser hurry
TO get to the tape first
Mcfarland Winner.
Although distance events are usually
undressing after the first half of the
distance has been covered. the half-mile
run proved to be one OF the best races On
the programme. L0randO, who started
from scratch, soon caught the field. and
he and his teammate, Gill, from George
Washington, alternated in pacing each
other in the hope of winning both races,
but on the back stretch. in the last lap,
Mcfarland, OF the Corcoran Cadets, came
up from the rear and rushed into second
place just a few yards from home.
Capt Edwards and the other members
of the athletic committee had perfect ar
engagements for the conduct Of the meet,
and the events were all run of on time
without any tiresome delays,
