The Washington herald., 1911-02-26

The Georgetown Preps won a decisive
victory over the Business High School
athletes in Ryan gymnasium last night,
winning out in a dual track and boxing
meet by the overwhelming score of 81 to
Is. In only one event did the StenoG-
raphers win a first, and that was when
Shore won the shOt-pUt by heaving tho
weight thirty-seven feet. This same ath-
lete got second place in the 3O-yard dash,
thus making most of the losers score.
For the Preps, Golden showed up strong
in the running events, winning the dash
and the hurdles in easy style. although
pressed hard by Shore in the dashes. In
the hurdles and high-jump the embrSos
had things their own way. getting all
three places. Childs in the high-jump
won hands down, and. considering the
fact that it was his first appearance, the
performance of four feet ten inches was
very Creditable. In the potato race hon
ors were divided very evenly, the Props
winning, with Business a close second
and third. 1t was in the boxing events
that the Props showed up strong and
made a clean sweep of the five bouts.
Boxing was for points only, yet not
withstanding this there was no let up
in the way the fighters stoOr up against
each other, and some pretty stiff pun
ishment was handed out on both sides.
The first bout a bantam-weight affair,
Kerwin. of the Props, won over Beck
man. The fighting was very fast, and
the loser showed lots of pluck in stand
ing the punishment handed out by his
heavier opponent.
Gillian and Bridget faced each other in
the 135-pOund class. which proved to be
one of the closest of the evening Many
disfavOred the decision of the judges,
which probably would have been better
had a draw been called.
In the welter-weight event, Cossack,
of the Prep team, gave Burley, OF
Business. one of the hardest punish
ments of the evening, but Burley took
his medicine like a man, although often
forced out of the ring by the force of
his adversary's blows. Cussack did not
let up for one minute and forced the
fighting throughout, landing with effect,
on his opponents face and body. As
Business had no man to put on in the
feather-weight class, a special 125-pound
match was arranged between Bridget
of the Preps, u brother of the man from
Business, defeated by Gillian. and O'COn-
nell. OF Business. This match was about
the tamest of the evening, although in
the last round the fighters mixed it up
little. From an observers point OF
view, this bout was very evenly con-
tested, but Bridget proved a little better
in science and won the decision. From
scientific stand point the middle-weight
bout between Gull, of the Preps, and
Shore, of Business. brought forth some
good work on the part of Gull. At every
stage of the fight he was master Of his
opponent, and did all the rushing
