nishes a Real Thrill
By lack Masters


nearest competitor, ST. Benedict's Prep
School, of Newark, won the national
Catholic school track and field cham
pionships at City Field Newark, yes
terday afternoon. The Saints won
easily all the way and scored 67 points.
while De La Sale School was second
with 41 points.
The Guarter-mle run, which was won
by j. Oakcs, of ST. Joseph's Prep
School, Philadelphia, furnished most of
the afternoons excitement MacNa-
mara, of De La Sale, led to within
three feet of the tape, where he was
nipped by Oakes, who ran beautifully
timed race. The Quaker City lad
claimed he misjudged the tape, ard for
few moments it looked as though the
Dc La Sale boys would withdraw, be-
cause their protest was not allowed
, In winning the two-milc run j. Mac
Loughin, Of the Saints, proved his
right to class among the best of the
schcolboy barriers. At the gun Mac
Loughlin stepped out, and, running a
strong race throughout, he was never
headed. Commit, also of the Saints,
tried desperately to make things inter
esting, but made his bid too late, and
had to be content with second honors.
The De La Sale boys were hustling
every minute Of ne time and fought
with commenda1!a gameness. The
meet was not half over when it was
seen that ST. Benedict's Prep would be
victorious, with the West Forty second
Street boys in the runner-ur role, but
the De La Sale team was not to be de-
feated without an effort, and it made
things interesting for the classy cinder
experts from st. Benedict's
&. Heard was the particular star of
the New York aggregation. He scored
consistently, and was unusually brill
liant in the high jump
In the Darochial championships new
record was established by the Holy
Trinity team, the time being ! minute
% 2-5 seconds, exactly one second bet
ter than the previous record.
Much to the satisfaction of the spec
tators, who numbered about five hun.
dred, the games were run off without
the long waits between events which
characterize schoolboy meets
