been altogether different. AS IL was.

not decided until the final event of
the meet had been completed Vir-
ginia Military Institute and Virginia
Poly Institute upset the calculations
considerably during the afternoon and
surprised their followers by each
registering IL point and tieing for
third honors
As was generally expected. the per-
formance of Legendre. the Georgetown
University star. who won the PEN
tathlon event in the recent Pennsyl-
vania relay carnival. was the out
