Newark Central
Is Prep School
Games Winner

Weather conditions that could hardly
be called satisfactory for track meet
prevailed all yesterday afternoon at
Ohio Field, the scene of the nineteenth
annual preparatory school games held
under the auspices of New York Uni
versity.
Although the entry list was large it
was not up to the standards of other
years. Several names were missed from
the aggregation of schools that sent
their athletes to compete. MERGERS
burg. which always has made a good
showing in this meet, was among the
missing, as were Pawling School and
Hill School. Princeton Prep represen-
showed lack Of training.
Three hundred contestants were on
hand to test their skill. Central High
School, of Newark, captured the point
trophy with score of FL, repeating
its performance Of two years ago.
Last. year the Jerseyites were nosed
out by Mercersburg. Bethlehem Pre-
paratory School took second honors
with 10 points, and Flushing High
School was third with 10 scores. The
last named was the first school of the
closely followed by Morris High School,
Its representatives tailed 10 points.
Flushing Youth the Star
Crawford, of Flushing School, was
easily the star performer. of the after
noon. The Queens athlete took firm
hold on first place in the mile run from
the very start and held on until he
passed the tape. But short time af-
ter that he lowered the track record
for the half-mile run with a time Of
minutes and 3-5 seconds. This bet
tered the performance of Garlock. Of
bloomfield High School, by one second.
The old record has stood since 1915.
Another oldtime record came close
to being shattered in the high jump.
T1roup, who halls from Ridgewood
in 1870. when Wesley M. Oler, then
OF Paving School, cleared the hori-
zontal at feet and II inches.
ID. Caprio, husky athlete from Cen
trail High School, contributed more
than half Of the points won by his
school He ran ahead of the field in
the 100-yard dash, took first honors on
the 220-yard dash and placed third in
the broad jump.
