RELAY
TEAM OF MORRIS
HIGH VICTORIOUS
Balestier Saves Day in
Last Lap-Meagher
Breaks Record.

Morris High Schools relay team Of
football players won the special race
at half a mile at the eighth annual
indoor games Of the Manual Training
High School Athletic Association, held
at the l4th Regiment armory, Brook
iyn, last night
The Bronx boys had their hands full,
as II was only the fine running OF Ed.
Balestier on the last relay that carried
the Morris colors to victory. ST. Johns
College Prep. was second, some SIX
yards behind, with Manual Training IN
third place, like distance in the rear.
Hamilton Institute, East Orange, Brook
lyn Prep. and Erasmus Hall also had
teams entered.
Morris jumped away to a start Of
seven yards through the efforts Of
Rosenberger, who was five yards ahead
of the St. Johns runner at the end.
The other contenders were punched.
The next two relays furnished a close
struggle between the Morris and St.
Johns representatives.
Starting on the final lap, Balestier
quickly leaped away from Trip, the
St. Johns anchor. who was unable to
hold his Bronx rival. On the back
stretch, Trip moved up 10 within a
yard of Balestier, but the latter then
sprinted, never again TO be caught.
OF the six schoo. faculty teams
scheduled to start, only two faced the
starter. II was a runaway race for the
four teachers from Commercial High
School.
Harry Buermyer, with the limit start
Of twenty-five yards, had a close call
in winning the 3OO-yari run for eX-
members. Arthur Reilly, who finished
second, came tearing after Buermyer
on the finishing stretch, and almost
caught him at the tape.
In the relay race for graduates, the
team composed OF Sharp, PARK, Reilly
and Lands proved the speediest.
Jimmy Meagher, from scratch in the
220-yard run. broke the school record
for the distance. Meagher was clicked
in % % seconds, which clipped two
ffths of a second from the mark made
by Arthur b. Cozzcns back in 1908.
