hundred, Jones of Western High
School. covered the distance better
career. and finished first by margin
Of two yards. That he was able to
| win from the much-touted Robinson
of. Mercersburg is sufficient evidence
he started with a handicap of three
yards to the Mercersburg man. it is
doubtful If the northerner succeeded
in gaining an inch on him.
Georgetown began to score in the first
! part of the meet. The Blue and Gray
scored its first point In the finals of the
hundred-yard dash, open, when Horton,
the former Philadelphia lad. ran second
to Patterson, one of Mike Murphys pro-
teges Patterson ran one of the best
dash events after starting from scratch
| against a handicap field, ever seen on
! the local floor.
Eller to the Front.
| Bob Filler of Georgetown jumped into
| the scoring when he took first place In
| the hundred-yard dash for the South At
| lantic championship. Eller got away
, from his mark first and was never head
ed, beating out Wagner of Hopkins by
| the margin of about two yards.
In the first relay race in which team
from the capital took part, the Western
High second four lost to the Baltimore
Cross Country Club. The Washington
lads were pitted against an aggregation
much their seniors, and really made a
very good showing.
Starting from scratch, Jack TAFT, man
who represented Canada in the Olympic
games last summer, trailed until the last
lap, and then walked away with the race.
His performance was one that did credit
even to such distinguished runner. lie
has been rated as one of the best middle
| RI in, md -
tainly made good tonight. Georgetown
men were shut out of the race, mainly
| because of the big handicaps against
them. TAFT won against Il fast field, sim
ply because he was in q class by MINI
| self at the distance.
| Both heats of the quarter-nlile were
won by Georgetown men. Stebbins got
away with the first and Horter won the
second. Both men won only after over
coming big handicaps and finishing in a
| style which places them among the best
| indoor runners in the country.
| Bob E,ller won the south Atlantic cham
pionship hurdles after being. pushed to
| the tape by Crowley of Virginia. Crowley
| got away to a poor start and held Eller
| even after that. Horrax of Johns Hop
kins was third Eller eqnaled his rec
/ ord made last year, when lie covered the
| distance In II 40 seconds.
| Bob Eller. starting from scratch in
the open 100-yard hurdles, finished in
front with plenty to spare Although
| he ran from handicap, Crowley of
| Virginia did not finish well as he
did when he started against Eller from
scratch. UorraX of Hopkins was again
| third.
| BY the wonderful running of two
| men, the Western High School won
from the Episcopal quint in mile re-
| lay by the margin of about two feet.
| Rose, who ran third for Western, made
| up considerable of the distance he
started behind. and sent Jones, West
txA lNp-
hind Jones ran a heady race, laying
| behind his man until the last straight
away. and then sprinted by him. 1t
was a nice race for Western to win.
| and it is represented by tho fastest
| four it has had in many year.
In the 220-yard dash, Georgetown men
were first, second and third Brent Young
| won the event, Stebbins was second, an
Brewer was third. The winning of the
| nine points in this event just about made
| sure Georgetown would win the point
! trophy.
Gallagher Romps Home.
Another Georgetown man, Johnny Cal
lagher, took the South Atlantic champion
ship $50 Immediately after the running
of the DO. He took the lead at the start
and Seller of the Baltimore Cross Coun-
try Club, who ran second. was unable to
give him even u close race. Gallagher
ran the last lap easily, evidently intent
on saving himself for the open mile in
which he was to meet Jack TAFT, the
great Canadian.
Bob Eler again added to his laurels in
the South Atlantic championship 30,
when he cleaned up the race and finished
first in the easiest kind of fashion. III
decisively outclassed his field. Brent
Young, who won IN the open handicap
30 was third. Six more points were
added to Georgetown's total, which insti-
tuition had by this time made absolutely
the greatest number of points.
Wright, Virginias best distance man,
with a good handicap showed his heels
to a good bunch OF men in the mile run
and won in the handiest kind of manner.
Wright showed form enough to be claSsed
with the best middle distance men in the
section. Bacon of the University OF Penn
syIvania, and who once ran for the Cen
trail High School of Washington, was
second.
