HERTZ IS THE BEST
ACADEMY ATHLETE
Eighteen Points His Total.
Winner Shines in Field
Events.


their heyday yesterday. The occa-
sion was the twenty seventh annual
field day under the auspices of the
Academy Athletic Association. Acad-
envy Field was crowded with the par
ents and friends that gathered to
witness the excellent card of closed
events. The program was enlivened
by the selections of the Nelodrome
band and no less a parsonage than
Peter Prunty announced the results.
The individual honors We're cap
tured by Walter Hertz, who scored
eighteen points. Burtis Goldberg, the
crack sprinter, was runner-up with
sixteen counts. Third place went TO
Bertram Brock, with an aggregate
of ten points. Three youngsters were
tied for fourth honors, with a tally
of eight points. They We're Alexander
Dillingham;, Henry Berg. jr., and Bill
Dabney. In recognition of his per-
Torrance, Hertz will have his name
engraved on the alumni plaque,
which occupies prominent place in
the school gymnasium.
Hertz fell just a little shy of max
ing a clean sweep of the field events.
He took first place in the 12-pound
Shotput, discus throw and broad
jump. In the high jump he was just
nosed out by Bertram Brock, who
won the high jump event last winter
in the State indoor championship at
the First regiment armory. Hertz
breasted the tape first in the 100-yard
novice dash, also. but this win did not
count In the point total for the in
dividual prize.
Outside of a single point scored in
the broad jump the runner-up, Gold
berg, accumulated his counts in the
dashes. He took the century, the fur
long and the 400" in masterful style.
The interform championship went
to the fifth form, which. chiefly
through the efforts of Hertz, rolled
up q total of ~ points. Second place
was captured by the fourth form,
with n points. The second and third
forms had a close struggle for third
honors, but in the final tallies, the
second formers just beat the third
division out by one point, with a
count of eleven.
The half-niile interform relay race
for boys who were not entered in
the other events also went to the
fifth form in the time of ] minute
4S As seconds. The teams of the
third form, fourth form and second
form finished in the order named.
Interest waxed keen in this race,
when on the last leg Amster made &
stiff bid to overhaul Grant, the lead.
| ing anchor of the fifth form.
From spectacular viewpoint, the
races of Goldberg were the feature.
| Before the start of the 100-yard dash,
! it was noised about that Goldberg,
| who gained much prestige last Sat
| urday by defeating Gardner, of Cen
trail, in the Princeton games, would
| attempt to shatter the old 10 20
record of "Dory" Kalisch. The
| diminutive star failed in his attempt,
| however running the distance to d
hollow victory in 10 30. Berg, jr.,
was second with Giese and Wright
third and fourth respectively. Gold
| berg's victories in the furlong and
| quarter were equally decisive.
| In the second class competition,
| Donald Gardner was the star He
annexed first honors in four events
! 10o-yard dash, 22O-yard dash, 75-yaru
! low hurdles and running broad jump
! Enthusiasm ran high during the
running of the third class competi-
| lions, when the youngsters under

| Il. Veghte finished first in the 100
yard dash, While f. NJ. Phillips cap
tured first place in the running high
