The showing of Washington athletes in
the eighth annual interschoiastic meet
at Tome Institute yesterday afternoon
was far better than the official scoring
would indicate

capped by the loss OF practically its en-

from competition because OF deficiencies
in studies The first two would most
probably have counted among the point
winners, as both have proved better
than Bacon, Of Baltimore City College
who finished third IN the mile and sec
ond in the half.

the smallest that has represented Cen
