the close OF the scholastic track
and field meet held Yesterday by
the Maryland Agricultural Col

points separated them. Western

margin of half a point, beating
out Tome School and Technical
High, the last two being tied for
second with IS points each. Cen
trail High was fourth, with 1917
points. while the Baltimore Poll
technic Institute was fifth with

Galloway OF Central High won the mil.
In AS. nearl ten seconds better thai
he did the distance year ago. Will
Hard.ii of Tech lowered his own mark
from s. to II seconds in the quarter mile.

their events shows the keenness of III
competition, and in fact. IL was becaus.

that they did 50 well
