out with blood In its eyes and was
touted as a sure winner. and as q gen.
eral rule its score of six firsts and
two thirds would have won for 1t. but
in yesterdays games the Washington
Grove boys were lucky in landing
enough second places to bring 1t home
| the winner.
| While the absence Of Virginia, Johns
Hopkins, Georgetown. and some OF the
other athletic organizations which
were recently declared Ineligible to
enter men was noticeable, still the
meet was quite a success.
One new south Atlantic record. was
made. Howard Of the Central Y. NJ. c.
A. (Baltimore) team lowering the old
| mark by three minutes in the three
mile run. This youngster ran splen-
did race, getting the lead at the start
and holding 1T to the end. Rip
Stecker scored second place, coming in
enough time to have made new mark
had not Howard been running. rip"
did we'll on the days performance,
however. winning the milo and getting
another second in the half.
Two Good Jumpers.
The running high jump brought two
jumpers in the limelight who will
have to be reckoned with in the future.
although previous to yesterdays per-
Torrance they had not been considered
dangerous. These men are Gerald Con-
nelly Of the Walbrook Athletic Club of
Baltimore and Marshall Low of our
local Washington Grove Association,
the former winning with the wonder
full leap Of 5 feet 10h inches while the
latter cleared the bar one inch lower.
Both men showed fine form and with
| consistent training should be able to
make the six-fOot mark.
The half-mile run brought out q 6eauti-
| full race between Stecker and Horne Of
the Baltimore Cross Country Club. The
local boy led by a few feet all the way,
and thought he had the race won, but
about five yards from the finish Horne
the outside. winning by but a few inches.
The Baltimore Cross Country Club did
not have full team on hand or the re-
suit might have been different Repre-
ticularly well in the hurdles. taking all
three places in the 22O-yard. and land
ing second and third in the 12O.
Sterrett Hurt.
But one accident marred the day, Ster-
| rett's pole breaking while he was in the
air attempting to clear ten feet, and
| hurting him to such an extent that he
was compelled to retire. AS It was. he
had already cleared enough to give him
third place, this one point being enough
kto win the meet for his club, as it af-
| terward proved.
The scholastic part Of the program
drew good fields, and proved to be of
much interest and of unusual class.
| strange as it may seem, some of the
scholastic marks beating those made In
| the same events in the championships
This was especially noticeable in the 100
yard dash and the 44O-yard dash, Pat
terson of the Baltimore City College win
ming the former in 10 seconds nat, which
| equals the South Atlantic record. and
Wallace of the Episcopal High School
negotiating the la1er distance in 81 As

Both the first and second men in the
12-pound shotput passed the former
local scholastic mark Of Al feet inches,
Hamilton of Central winning with a put
OF ~ feet inches. and Kelly. hts team
