DuTey's Time Best.
B. ]. wefers is credited with the record
Of the century dash, which is 9 As sec
onds. but Arthur F. Dufey, another
I Georgetown man. did the distance in
9 S-5 After his graduation he wrote a
series of articles exposing croOkedness
among those who were posing as ANA
teurs in the colleges. AS he had repre-
sented Georgetown four years. and had
permanently retired from athletics, Duff
fey had nothing 20 lose. so he cited cases
of rottenness in the hope that the A. A.
L. would take some action. The result
was that Duffeys name was stricken
| from the records.
While the amateur officials satisfied
their grudge against Duney, all fair
minded men realize that the Georgetown
man was the most marvellous sprinter
this or any other country ever produced.
