Special Dispatch TO The Star
BOSTON, Mass, February 11.-GeorSe-
towns relay runners We're rather badly
beaten by the Holy Cross quartet here
tonight in connection with the annual IN
door games from the Boston Athletic
| Association, in the Mechanics building.
three-cornered relay race between
the three great Jesuit institutions of the
east, Georgetown, Holy Cross and Bos-
ton College, had been made feature
of the meeting. The race, however, re-
solved itself into dual contest between
those two arch rivals. Georgetown ana
Holy Cross. when the Boston College
faculty late this evening disqualified the
Boston team
The Georgetown runners who came on
especia ~ for this race. We're disappoint-
ingly outclassed by the Worcester quar-
tet. and at the finish We're beaten by
nearly thirty yards. There was no stage
of the race when Georgetown was in the
lead. The Washington boys, however.
ran gamely under the conditions, but the
Washington team was simply pitted
against too strong quartet
Gibbs was the first man to run for
Georgetown, and against him was Nc
kenna of Holy Cross, and before Gibbs
was hardly under way Mckenna had Sc
cured the pole from his Georgetown rival.
Gradually he opened up more command
ing lead. and at the end Of his relay was
about ten yards ahead of Gibbs. Davis
was second runner for Georgetown, and
for time he appeared to be gaining
slightly on Colleary, who ran second for
Holy Cross
But on tine last lap of his relay Davis
fell back and Holy Cross lead had been
increased to "a strong fifteen yards when
the third pair comprising SprowellS for
Georgetown and Joy of HOLY Cross. went
away. Sprowells for about a lap ran
like a cyclone, but it was only a ques-
ton of time when he would shoot his
bolt. Any little ground he may have
!, gained on the first lap was Won in the
second and third by JOY. who finished
fully twenty yards ahead of his George
ner in Mclaughlin had been reserved
| for the last, and he was able to still
| greatly increase the lead over Martin
who ran last for Georgetown.
| The time of the Holy Cross team was
8 minutes IA % seconds.
