With out overexertion, the
champion track team of George
town University last night in tha-
Horse Show Building literally
walked away with the second am
nual Richmond College Blues
track meet. The Hilltoppers
rolled UP a total of forty-two
points, leading the nearest CONF
petitor by thirty points.
Not only did the Washington-
iaps cop the trophy cup with
ease, but only through an unfor-
tunate circumstance were they
kept from hanging up a new
South Atlantic record for the pole
vault. After downing his oppon-8
ents, Wideman succeeded in
crossing the bar at twelve feet
flat. Only one official witnessed
the feat, and under the rules of
the Amateur Athletic Union the
record cannot stand.
From local standpoint, tho
meet was an unqualified success,
One of the largest and most en-
thusiastic gatherings that has ever
attended a local meet last night.
witnessed a clean bunch of fea-
ture events. Without a hitch, the
officials cleared the field for ac-
ton, and every race was pulled
off on time.
The Richmond Blues entered
but few men in the open events,
while the local collegians were
not represented at all. In spite
of this handicap, the Blues suc-.
ceeded in landing one second and
two third places, all in difficult
events.
Blues Score Points.
In the mile run, Dick Vaughan,
former collegian, and now running
under the colors of the Blues,
electrified the crowd with his ex-.
cellcnt performance. True, he
only landed second place, but
then he was pitted against Ell
phinstone, the lanky Marylard-
er, who has a habit of lingering.
the gold medals after each meet.
The other point winners for tho
militiamen were Billy Word, who
took third place in the fifty-yard
open dash, and B. Bryan, who re-
ceived the same place in the high
jump.
The relay races from the point
of the mere spectator were the
feature events of the evening.
The chief event. however lacked the
thrilling features of some OF the smaller
races. Georgetown. racing Washing-
ton and Lee University FOR the chafn-
pionship OF tho South atlantic diVl-1

the final part of the event some pretty
uphill work was accomplished by
young Carter Glass. but the lead waa
too much to overcome.
