| derived from participation in sports
i Incidentally. the admiral made the

letics and played his last game Of

jump. standing high jump, running
high jump and pole vault.
| 1t was generally expected that Gill

! es, but Hamill of Zone 1 produced the
best bet of Zone in both events.
/ Hamill got over the i0O-yard course
in IL fiat and the 22o in % fiat.
In the final of the I00-yard dash

more in reserve and won out by half
a foot. In the furlong Gill got rather
a poor start and gradually pulled up
! on Hamill in the stretch, but could
not quite muster the strength neces-
sary to pass his opponent.
Calyer of Zone l took big lead At
the beginning of the sS0-yard run.
and held it until about 100 yards from
the finish, where Carney of Zone
began a brilliant squirt. Carney
passed .Calyer- about 100 yards from
the finish and got across the line ten
yards to the good.
Margaret Cole Wins Race.
In the 50-yard dash for women
Margaret Cole won after some sprint
ing which did not seem to suffer much
by the handicap of skirts. The base
Lball throw for women was captured
She threw the ball just about as any
boy would, and the distance she
tossed it was way beyond what was
registered by other contestants. her
points did not count. as she is not
employed in the navy yard. out was
eligible to complete as the daughter
of one of the employees. Miss Hughes
won second place in the event. but
the points scored by her did not go
to any of the zones for the same
reason.
Seven teams lined up in the last
event for the relay race. Censio1
cradle rivalry was evident. especially
between Zones S. 3 and 4. However
Zone 4, with Gill running in ne
anchor position. was just little too
fast for the other quarte.s. Aons-'
