ors-Wenz in Fine Form.

vi D w III 1lS a VI ALh'
Tome School. which won the New York
University interscholastie games few
weeks ago. repeated with another victory
Yesterday. when It took first place in the
Columbia interscholastic meet, with a total
of SO points.
The nearest competitors TO the Maryland
school. De Witt Clinton High School and
Central High School, of Newark were tied
with - points, and Hotchkiss, which was
considered to have more than a fighting
chance, scored only Q points. Stuyvesant
bad and the Roselle. Bryant and Perth
Amboy high schools had points apiece.
Dwight. Mackenzie, Pingry, Barringer Jer-
sey city and New Rochelle followed, with 3
! points each.
| Seven Of the thirteen first places were
won by the Tome boys, and they also earned
second, so that they had no trouble in
winning the meet. Conditions were nearly
perfect for the games, a stiff wind from the
south being the only drawback. More than
three hundred boys took part IN the meet,
and South Field was crowded with FIVE
thousand spectators
Almost from the start, when A. Smith Of
Tome. won his heat in the lO0-yard dash,
the Tome boys seemed certain Of victory
Smith followed his victory in the heat by
taking the final in good time, and between
the two he put the shot IS feet inches,
! which was far and away the best toss Of
the day.
A. Martone, Smiths teammate, won both
the quarter and the half for the Southern
school, taking the former in 81 2-5 seconds
which was considered good for the South
Field track. Kenneth Curtis, another Tome
boy. tried to break his own pole vault rec
ord. but he found that he could not get
higher than II feet VI. Heyl, OF Hotchkiss,
did 10 feet ? inches.
Edward Wenz, OF Roselle High School,
who broke the indoor two-mile record at
the Columbia games last winter and
, smashed the outdoor mark at Princeton
last Saturday, had the two-mile race prdc-
tlcally to himself, although pushed in the
carly stages by c. Boughton, of Central
High SCHOOL, and NJ r. Thompson, OF ia
maica High School. Wenz got off to a poor
start. but at the end OF the first lap was
setting the pace for the field, which was
well strung out at his heels.
At the end of the first half Wenz, Boush-
ton and Thompson had drawn away from
the others. and were strding along at a
steady pace, Wenz always leading.
Through the next mile Wenz made 10
effort TO shake off his two nearest compcti-
tors. and the three circled the track a
stride apart BY this time the rest Of the
field had dropped back as much as two
hundred Yards and was completely outrun'
Wenz. at the beginning OF the last half
hit up the pace little, but both Boughton
and Thompson hung on gamely and stayed
with him until the last lap. when the Ro-
selle boy went out on a terrific sprint Wenz
opened the gap with every stride and
crossed the line a winner by fifty yards.
Boughton beat out Thompson by about the
same margin.
The one-nile relay was 4 good contest
and was taken in fast time by Stuyvesant
High School Yonkers led FOR the first Two
relays. but the third Yonkers runner found
the pace too much for him and dropped
back 10 fourth. leaving the fight between
Lent. Of Stuyvesant. and Kurzman, Of Gin
ton Lent touched OF Waugh TO n av2-yarI
lead. while Veg, the Clinton Splinter, was
ten yards IN front Of Ward, of Manhattan
Prep" Veg ran himself out in the first
rurlong. and had TO slacken his speed just
as he was catching the Stuyvesant roy, al
lowing Waugh 10 win as ne pleased by ten
yards.
The hurdle. brought out some sterling
performers Trenholm. Of De Witt clinton;
Peterson OF Tome, and Neale. Of Hotch-
kiss. faced the starter I'm the finals. All
three had hung up fast time IN their heats,
Trenholm being credited with Is - seconds
FOR his trial The Clinton youth was
Jumped at the start. but before the first
hurdle had been reached he overhauled
Neale and Peterson. taking the hurdle
about half "a foot In front Of the former.
From there TO the tape he increased his
lead. beating out Peterson by three yards,
who in turn. beat Neale by five yards. Tren-
holm's time was again 10 2-5 seconds, which
was fast. considering the cross wind into
which he had to run.
