He Was Just Going
To Start It

Just before the Inter-Depart-
mental field and track meet got
under way yesterday, q young
ish looking man, rather small,
his soft hat pulled down over
his eyeglasses, walked into the
southwest gate at the Central
Stadium and started noncha-
lantly across the field. He got
we'll across in front of the stands
when a lynx-eyed marshal spied
him.
''What are you doing here
without a badge? You haven't
got any right on the field with
out a badge" said the marshal.
"Why II was just going to
start the meet, that's ALL" re-
turned the youngish man.
"Why, Secretary Bakers go
ing to start this meet" returned
the marshal.
"Well, Pm Secretary Baker"
said the youngish man, as the
marshal finally got it.

Treasury Department athletes won
the affair with 81 points. Navy Yard
was second with 81, War Department
third, with 90 and Commerce fourth,
with IL.
Former high school and college
stars OF the city whose names are
well known in athletic annals here
furnish the general excellence OF COM
petition in the field and track events
which has always marked their per-
formances in the past
Among the winners were Charlie
Dasher. Harry Myers, Perry Dowrick,
Monroe Shehan, Vaughn Connolly,
Walter Mcnamara, A. Hough, Eman-
uel Aaronson. NoOnan, Keener, Nc
Carthy, Morrison, Wright, and McMil-
Ian.
Jack Hass, manager OF the Treas
ury team, sprang the surprise Of the
day, when his Treasury lads, among
them several former schoOlboy stars,
assisted by a galaxy Of speeding beau
ties in the events for ladies, won
handily over the Navy Yard team,
generally picked to win.
The special events like the tug-of-
war for women, the hurdle race for
women, Women's relay and ball toss
ing contest, look unusually we'll.
The flock OF entries in yesterdays
meet is expected to pave the way for
several changes next season, accord
ing to those in charge. 1t is inti-
mated that all Of the departments will
hold separate meets to determine
winners who shall compete in the
hnal track meet.
Major Wait Johnson, who took
charge of the inter-allied meet in
I - - =
affair and with a rather weighty
committee ran the meet on in fine
style.
There were slow moments to be
sure, but everyone was satisfied at
the end and the meet was voted a
huge success from every standpoint
and a fitting opening for the fes-
tivities which followed in the stadium
and school later on.

Al Sharpe Was a Star
In Many Lines

DR.. Al Sharpe, who is coach
ing the Yale football squad this
fall, was probably the greatest
all-around athlete who ever went
to Old Eli. Sharpe, who was
graduated from Yale in 1902, en-
joyed the distinction Of making
six athletic teams while a stu
dent at the New Haven univer-
sity. He attained particular
prominence in baseball, football,
and basketball, but found time
to show his skill as a member
Of the rowing, gymnastic, and
wrestling teams at Yale.
