TIGERS BEST At
GEORGETOWN MEET
Score 80 Points, While Car
Isle Indians Take Second
Place With rs.

The Carlisle Indian School was second
with -.
The meeting proved to be the best in
the history OF the local university. The
entry list was not only the largest of any
former games, but the competitors were
OF a class seldom seen in this city. The
severest drubbing that Georgetown has
received at the hands of their southern
rivals. the University of Virginia. was
administered in the last event of the
evening. when the relay teams of the two
universities were pitted against each
other, and the latter won with ease.
Georgetown was seriously handicapped by
the loss of Schlosser and Fred Rice. two
of their stars, because of conditions in
their schooling, and therefore Smith and
Boernstein were compelled to fill up the
team.
Boernstein started for the Blue and
Gray. but Goodwin, who ran first for Nlr-
ginia, passed him on the second lap, and
when Wiltshire took up the running for
the winners he had lead of about ten
feet over Smith. On the third relay
Thurlow started for Virginia. and had
handicap of twenty-five feet over Gloos.
This he increased until he was leading by
nearly quarter of lap. On the last
run Stanton, on whom Virginia has been
reiying to do her best work, took up the
running and held his lead over Martin
who did his utmost to cut down the big
loss of his teammates, but his efforts
were without avail.
Indians a Hit.
The Carlisle Indians, who made their
first appearance in this city in any ath-
letic games. made quite a hit with the
crowd. This was quite noticeable in the
three-mle special event, when of six en-
tries three of the Indians finished in
front. The event was won by John Corn.
who. after trailing at the heels of Te-
WANNA. the celebrated Olympic Marathon
runner, forged to the front In the stretch
and won by a few feet. Tewanlna was
second, and Arquitte. another Indian,
third. Bryer of Johns Hopkins }niver-
sity, Baltimore. finished some distance
hack. while Gallagher, the Brown Prepa-
rat0ry School star, was compelled to quit
on the first mile, as his foot. which was
recently injured, handicapped him.
The collegiate championship relay race
between Pennsylvania, Yale and Cornell
was one of the closet contested of the
evening and was finally won by the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. when PAUL, who
ran last broke the tap several inches in
front of Splitter. for Yale University. Cor

Tom Smith of Georgetown University
showed that he had recovered from the
recent injury to his foot. when in the
80 meter hurdles open handicap. with
6 feet handicap, he captured the event.
Arthur Decker of the National Law
School of this city was close second,
while Thomas of the Carlisle Indian
School took third place. Smith had quail
flied in his heat and held himself in re-
serve for the final event. With the crack
of the pistol. the Blue and Gray man was
off with a bound. but Decker was neck
and neck with him until the stretch when
the former threw himself forward on his
last stride and took first honors.
Bennett of Princeton University, after
being closely pushed in the pole vault,
took first place from Blakely OF the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania by clearing the
bar at eleven feet seven and one-half
inches. The latter cleared il at eleven
feet seven inches. Brendemus OF Prince
ton was third.
Thirty-three men started in the l. 800
meter run, open handicap, with MCGEE
and Frantz Of Princeton University on
scratch. After the runners had gotten
fairly under way MCGEE and his team
mate gradually worked their way through
the large bunch of runners until they
reached an easy position near the front of
the squad. On the last two laps MCGEE
took the lead and held it until he
crossed the tape. Bryant of the Central
High School of Washington. who started
with handicap of fifty yards ran a fine
race and finished a few feet in the rear
OF the college man. FrantZ took third
place.

midget relay teams Of the Central and
western High schools started and Cheer
