BY WILLIAM PEET.

Georgetown fifteenth annual in
door meet, staged in Convention
Hall last night before a packed
house. brought together some OF
the fastest and best-known ath-
lcteS in the East. One record was
smashed to SmtherecnS, and the
wearerS of the Blue and Gray VAN
quiShed their ancient rival. Nir-
Sinia. in the classic relay race. and
also won the meet, with a total
of 80 points.
No indoor carnival since the in
Ccption of the games produced SO
MANY thrills aS last nights event.
The RELAYS were unusually close
time and again the winner could
not be determined until the last
pair had breasted the tape.
Not since 1908, when Jimmy
Mulligan. the present Georgetown
coach, running with Sullivan. Nc
GettiSan. and Mccarthy as team
mates. have the HilltopperS pre-
scented a relay team which could
be truly STYLED a whirlwind quar-
tct Virginia was defeated in this
race last night by nearly half
track lap.
Hertcr started against Mickey Guy and,
although the hrst-named took a tumble
at tn" turn. he was able to breeze home
ten yards in front of his rival Gallagher,
tine ncNr iIilItopper pitted against Phil
lipS. widened the gap, while Stebbins, the
third Ge, TGetown runner, simply ran his
opponent Beckett, off his feet. leaving
T-rwilrser to finish against Cronly, win
ming the ract by half lap 1t was such
runaway affair for the Hilltoppers that
little demonstration was made.
Exhibition of Nerve.
One Of the bTavcst exhibitions of down.
right grit cropped out in the One-mile re-
lay race between Richmond College and
the MARYLAND Agricultural quartet, when
Tillers. running second for Richmond. was
thrown on the first turn and dislocated
his right shoulder He not only picked
himself up. but ran two laps. holding his
twisted arm with his left hand. He faint
ID at the finish after beating his rival
TO the tape. and this advantage helped
his team capture the event.

vault mark in the open handicap. going
over the bar at l. feet L. inches.
The Yale-Princeton two-mile relay race
was a pretty skirmish and was won by
the wearers of the blue. Two feet sep
arated the last two runners when the
tape was brca astcd.

school scoring the most points was
handed over to Georgetown. the Blue and |
Gray icrsicd athletes rolling up thirty |
points Hopkins of Baltimore. was the !
nearest rival. with twenty-four points. !
Virginia landed but ten.
Ted Meredith. the famous Olympia |
athlete. was entered in the 40 and $50
ward runs, and the best he could do |
was 10 land third in the last named |
event. as the handicap from scratch |
proved too much for the Mercersburg
flyer.
Lou O'COnnor won the South Atlantic /
mile in the good time of |
minutes. SO 2-5 seconds. Connor en-
tered unattached, and was the dark !
horse of the event.
