The two big surprises of the. evening
turned I'D in relay races-the first when
the Washington Grove relay team, which
has been cleaning up everything In sight
and which most people thought almost
;nyincible. met its match in the McCul-

cided that 1t will be pulled off between
the halves of one Of the games in the
