tour a victory over the George
town quartet last night in a mile
race. The work of the first three
Georgetown men placed the first
Blue and Gray runner in the lead
by twenty yards, but he was UNI
equal to the task Of holding off the
wonderful runner, Caldwell. Jones.
who ran first for Georgetown, fin
ished ahead by about three yards.
Stebbins, who next took up the
work, increased the lead to thirty
yards, afded by fall on the part
of the Cornell runner; Wieser, the
third man for the Blue and
Gray, lost about ten yards of that
thirty, but McNulty started off
twenty yards ahead. Caldwell
started sprint and held it till the
finish, winning by five feet. 1t
was the most brilliant race ever
run here.
The meet was won by repre-
sentatives OF the Johns Hopkins
University. Their men finished
we'll in nearly all the events, and
the final total of points gave the
three leading schools as follows:
Hopkins, q; Yale, 10; George
town, 10.
1t is probable that the largest crowd
that has ever attended an indoor meet
in Washington watched the games held
under the auspices of the Georgetown
University last night. 1t was an enthu-
siastic aggregation of people. and the
manner in which they applauded the va
rious races showed an extreme enthu-
siasm.
AS has been the case in every meet
held this year, the Washington lads did
some excellent work, and featured in the
majority of the events. The most re-
markable work done by any Of the
youngsters representing local schools
was that of Brewer of the National
Cathedral School. His accomplishment
in winning the open 5o-yard dash and
the scholastic 80 was way above the Or
binary. He competed with the ease of a
veteran.
Jones of the Georgetown University
won the open 5O-yard dash. beating Pat
terson and Lippincott of the University
of Pennsylvania Brewer Of George
town was third in the same event. Pat
terson was second, while Lippincott was

Semmes, competing under the colors OF
Dartmouth. won the pole vault. The
performance Of Low in the South At

was rather disappointing, though he got
and Donaldson Of Western also did some
good work.
Two falls married the two-mile race be-
tween Pennsylvania and Princeton. The
second man for Princeton took tumble.
with the result that the Penn man got a
good lead. 1t was not thought by any
body that Penn would lose when the
great Meredith started with a ten-yard
lead, The unexpected happened. though.
He fell, and the Princeton man went into
the lead. Meredith was never able to re-
cover the distance and Princeton won by
ten yards. Meredith seemed to be way
off form during the entire part of his re-
lay.
The MARYLAND Agricultural College
failed to make much Roadway in its race
against Carlisle and lost by about twenty
yards. After the second relay they lost
the lead and failed to make up the lost
distance at any time after that.
When the daShes started there were
few persons in the hall, but before the
end of the heats In the nifty yards
building had been taken. At the con-
clusion of the last heat in the open fifty
yards 1t is probable that there were more
persons present than had ever before at

auspices of Georgetown.
Washington men did well in the heats
OF all three fifties. The three fastest
runners in the open fifty failed to over
come the big handicaps given against
them, with the result that they did not
