HOW POINTS WERE
MADE IN M. A. C. MEET
COLLEGIATE.
BY II. C. BYRD.

ihc ihteiSoileSlale ana inter-
scholastic track and field meet
held yesterday by the Maryland
Agricultural College was bigger
success than was the one given
under its auspices last spring.
That is all need be said of the
games as whole.
There were many noteworthy
features evident during the meet,
both on the part of individuals and
institutions. Western Maryland,
with three men, tailed seventeen
points in the collegiate events;
Kemp of the Maryland Agricul-
tural College scored sixteen points
himself in the intercollegiate part
of the games, and Hamilton of
Central High made eighteen in
the four interscholastic events in
which he took part. These were
some of the happenings that are
especially noteworthy.
The best performance OF the
day, though, was the work of
Kemp. the Maryland Agricultural
College runner. Kemp got away
with honors in everything in
which he took part, and it was
one continuous race with him, as
he stepped out of one event into
another. The races in which he
ran were not far enough apart for
him to get any rest, and conse-
quently he had to go straight
from one into another.
The $50 was the first even in
which Kemp took part. He ran
that and won looking back over
his shoulder and trying barely to
keep ahead of the man in second
place. His time was 2.II. The
big fellow then went into the
broad jump and competed in that
until time for the quarter.
He got second place in the leap. In
the 40 Kemp ran second to Ryder or
ST. Johns and lost by only foot, in the
time OF 50 1-5 seconds. AS soon as the
half was over the mile was called Kemp
went to the mark in that and taking AZ
exceptionally easy until the last lap
sprinted into the lead and won the event.
There was no other man in the inter-
collegiate events who came anywhere
near him in the way Of individual per.
formances.
Hamilton Scores Heavily.
Hamilton Of Central High was the best
In the point scoring in the scholastic
events. That youngster made eighteen
points of those garnered by his team.
He won the scholastic shot-put, hammer
throw, and half mile and got second In
the broad jump. In the field events in
which he scored so heavily Hamilton was
in a class by himself, and in the half
there was nobody to give him a really
close race.
Connolly OF Rock Hill College, Ryder
Of ST. Johns, Drummond of Wicomico
High. Weaver and Dukes of Western
and Run of Franklin High
were others whose individual prowess
was especially noteworthy.
St. Johns won the intercollegiate part
Of the meet. Just as was predicted, the
Annapolis college scored so heavily in the
sprfnts that it was impossible for any
Of the other schools to compete on even
terms with 1t. Had the Maryland Aggies
been able to annex one or two places In
the dashes they would have stood q fair
chance to win the point trophy,-but as 1t
was they did not.
Beginning with the 10o-yard dash. St.
Johns got first and third, and in the
DO its men ran second and third, with a
Western Maryland man first. M. A c.
did not tally q single point In either the
100 or 2OO and 1t lost them the meet.
During the sprints and hurdles IL looked
as though Western Maryland would be
the team to run st. Johns close second.
but 1t failed to accomplish anything In
the field events or distances.
Collegiate 44O Fast.
The collegiate 40 was about the fast
est race OF the day. Although run on
track that was rather slow from too
much wetting. the distance was made in
s. l-5 seconds. Ryder OF St. Johns
jumped into the lead on the start, and
was followed about o yard behind by
Kemp. The two men maintained the
relative positions until the end OF the
race, when Kemp pulled up a little on
his opponent. but failed to get by him.
The interscholastic events were a walk
away for Central High, although some
