The crowd gathered slowly. but the meet
Is one of the social, as well as athletic,

Fred Woodcock, OF Manual Training, the
champion OF the high school runners, de-
Tended his title against a speedy field and
ran to we'll won victory In the fast time
OF 4:b 3-5. There were many who cast
doubt on Woodcock when he won the mile
run In the Manual meet in 4:42. and cried
that he could not run within five seconds
OF that time. Woodcock showed plainly
| last night that when in good conition he is
the peer Of all by winning eased up within
one second Of the meet record, held by
Youngs, also Of Manual.
The contest which aroused the greatest
enthusiasm was the interfaculty relay race
of teams representing Poly Prep,
Manual Training and Stuyvesant, and won
by the first named. When the teachers took
the track the spectators greeted them with
a roar Of laugher and prepared for some
fun. The men, however, got to their work,
and those who came to laugh stayed to
cheer the closest and most bitterly fought
battle of the meet. At no time was the
Poly" team, which took the lead right at
the start, more than two strides in the
lead, and the finishing squirt OF Mr.. Mage
worth, OF Manual Training, was one Of the
eamest and best ever seen on the armory
floor.
| Mr. Allen, of Poly" went out into the
: lead on the first lap. with his field lopins
along right on his heels, and sent Mr.. Nc
Chic, tho track coach OF Poly" off in the
van by about two yards. McGhie kept the
good work up, as did Mr.. Scoboria and Van
/ Week, the anchor man. AS the men came
| around the last turn Mr. Wayman, OF the
Stuyvesant came a nasty cropper, and was
helped from the track in a dazed condition
| Mr. Mageworth made his jump on the last
turn. and slowly he crept up on the tiring
Van Week. The crowd rose to it's feet as
man while the men battled it out for the
lead 1t was heartbreaking work. Mage
worth hung at Van Weeks shoulder, but
could not advance, and they crossed the
finish line almost abreast.
