NATIONAL GUARDS
MEET A BIG SUCCESS
Bob Fleming of Cornell Cap
lures the Chief Event
by Inches.

that the athletic board of the National
Guard Of the District Of Columbia. which
had charge of the annual meet last night
in the Guard armory, conducted the best
events in the history Of the organization.
The class of entries was not only
above those of other years. but the events
were all run of promptly, due to the
efficient officials in charge of the affair.
The principal event on the program
was the two-msle race for the South At
lantic championship, in which Bob
Fleming of Cornell University captured
first place. The result of the race was
not known until the last few feet from
the tape, as Dryer of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity and Elphinstone of the Baltimore
Cross Country Club were also contestants
for the first prize. but Fleming proved
to be the best sprinter and won out.
The one-mile relay race between the
Maryland Agricultural College and the
George Washington University proved in
terestine, and was finally won by the
Marylanders.
Smithson and King of the Washington
Grove Athletic Club and also members OF
the National Guard were easily the best
individual contestants. and both of them
captured first place in nearly every event
they entered.
The novelty races which are a feature
of the National Guard meet each year
were all interesting. The exhibition of
crack shooting with the rife. by sergt
exceptionally good. while the several
wrestling, boxing and tumbling exhibitions
were also quite pleasing.
