RICHMOND. Va, March s.
1t remained for Wiedman of the
Georgetown University to make
record for indoor track work
tonight at the meeting under the
auspices of the Richmond Blues.
1t was in the last event OF the
evening, the pole vault. when he
and Robertson, also of George
town, had been competing for the
high honcrs at that feature of the
meet that Wiedman scaled the bar
at twelve feet. Officials on the
spot declared that for indoor work
this was a new record. Wied-
mans work was clean, clear-cut
and accurate. He had struck the
bar at distance of eleven four,
but that merely nerved him for
the better work which followed.
In the relay race between Rich
mond College and George Wash
ington University the local lads
made it runaway They got the
lead by dint OF good running and
forgetting to lock back to see if
they was any one else to be con-
sidered. Richmond College strove
hard to retain this place over
George Washington, and the eff
fort was sustained by victory
| about which there was never any
dispute from the crack of the
starter gun.
Meet Great Success.
