6. u. Team Has the South
Atlantic Title SeWed Up

Hilltop Games Next
Saturday:
AFTERMATH OF MEET
BY JOHN A. DUGAN.

The real fight for the honor Of land
ing the South Atlantic intercollegiate
indoor championship now lies between
Georgetown University and the Uni
versity of Virginia. The Hilltoppers
have gathered twenty-eight points in
the George Washington and the Hop
kins games, while the Charlottesville
athletes follow six points in the rear.
Should Virginia not enter any of its
athletes in the championship events at
the Hilltoppers' games on next Satur-
day night the Blue and Gray will land
the title of South Atlantic intercolle-
| giate champs.
Johns Hopkins and tho Washington
and Lee team are the only others that
have scored on the champs, and neither
has made enough points to push the
| Hilltoppers for the honor. The five
events at the big games next Saturday
night will decide the winner. and
should Virginia refuse to enter its ath-
letes it would only be cutting on its
nose to spite its face.
Western High School Is now leading
the scholastic team IN the point list in
! the interscholasti event with sixteen
points, although the Red and White
track men carried but one point home
from the Hopkins game Saturday night
The ST Adams School Is next with eleven.
while Coach Bill Foley's Central team
follows with eight. A great fight for the
honors Is expected when the local teams
toe the marks in the events for school
teams next Saturday.
The Georgetown relay team. which was
substituted at the last minute to run in
the place Of the Washington and Lee
four in the South Atlantic intercollegiate
relay put up a great race when all things
are taken into consideration.
The Hilltop four had been travelling all
day and each member Of, the team took
part in some Of the events early in the
evening. The quartet was pretty much
all in when it came time for the relay.
but the chance of running against their
ancient rivals could not be overlooked.
weiser who gave such a creditable per-
Torrance in the dash and quarter mile
race, was compelled to watch the race
from the sidelines. as he had injured his
leg. Gill. a sophomore dash man. was
substituted. for Weiser. and although he
ran a good race. the ground which he lost
in the first whirl around the track was
the main cause of the defeat of the Hill
toppers.
Nubby Jones captured the intercol-
legiate century dash in great style
and easily proved to be the class
in the South, while capt EQole SteD-
bins, of the Hilltoppers. had but little
trouble in defeating a large field in
the two-twenty.
Thomas P. McDounagh. the veteran
hurdler Of the Central Y NJ. c. A.. OF
Baltimore, equaled the worlds indoor
record for the century hurdle when
he STEPPED off his heat in the open
handicap event in the fast time of
IL SIS seconds. McDounagh's brilliant
work in this heat was little to much
for him and the fast timber toppler
was only able TO secure the runners
up position in the finals. in which
Capt. Jack Crowley, Of the University of
Virginia, equaled the South Atlantic
mark by doing the distance in IL As.
"'Untz" Brewer. OF the ST. Adams
team. caused quite a sensation by
beating Don Lippincott and Jimmy
Patterson, of the University of Penn
sylvania. in the 10O-yard open handi-
cap. Coach Green's flyer was given a
yard handicap and breezed through
his heat, semi-inal and final like
veteran. Had he not taken sick he
would have easily landed the top po-
sition in the scholastic century, as
he captured his heat in great style.
