high and preparatory schools for the
ton Club of New York, held at tho 22d
Regiment Armory yesterday afternoon.
The victory of Stuyvesant broke the
long string of successes scored by De
Witt Clinton High School
OF considerable help to Stuyvesant
was the double victory of Paul Jer-
man, the distance runner. in the half
mile and one-mile runs. Jerman's
individual efforts accounted for ten
points of Stuyvesant's winning tally
of 81 points. De Witt Clinton. sup.
ported by more than one thousand
rooters, was forced to take second
honors with 26 points. while Poly Prep
School, of Brooklyn, was only one point
behind in third place. De La Sale
Institute, represented by small squad,
performed iaapressively in finishing
fourth with 10 points.
Sixteen Schools Score
Although the games were featured
by the exceptionally large school en-
try and the competition Of 1,180 boys,
only sixteen schools succeeded in work
Ing themselves into the select circle
for points. Owing to the record entry
it was necessary to conduct many trial
heats to eliminate the contestants for
the final brushes.
Six thousand boys and girls from
the schools of the greater city attended
and enthusiasm ran high as the stu
dents strove for the prizes. Stuyve-
SAINT succeeded in winning four first
places, followed by Poly Prep with
three. De Witt Clinton and Manual
Training pulled down one each.
During the course of the contests
one. Public School League record was
broken and another cqualled. How
ever, these feats will earn no recorni-
ton, as only standards surpassed in the
annual championship fixtures are ac-
cepted by the league body.
In the 44O-yard relay race, for 10O-
pound boys, Stuyvesant's squad covered
the distance in 0;52, which is two-f -ffths
of a second faster than the record.
Stuyvesant had to hustle to win the
brackets, for Manual Trainings ath-
letes were close contenders right up to
the tape.
The record equalled came in the half
mile run, and went to the credit of
Jerman, of Stuyvesant The latter was
clocked in 2:05, which figures, estab-
lished back in 1910, have only been
equalled by one Stuyvesant and one
Morris boy since then.
There were several other instances
where junior athletes displayed more
speed than their senior rivals. In the
100-yard dash. J. Olinek, Of Clinton, q
junior, sped the distance in OIL, which
effort was also credited to Sam Atlas,
Of Clinton, winner of the senior race at
the same distance.
Saulino Shows Speed
In the 220-yard run, Victor Saulino,
Manual Training, the junior indoor
champion, scampered over the route in
OPS As, which was one-fifth Of sec
ond faster than the time returned by
Richard Voudy, De La Sale, winner Of
the senior contest.

registered its seventh victory in down
ing five other opponents in the one
mile event. Opposed to the Catholic
boys were older students, but the La
Sale youngsters won handily by fif-
teen yards. Stuyvesant was second
and Poly Prep third.
