The best run relay race of the night
was that in which GalIaudet and

the lead by fair margin until the
next to the last lap. Karl Knight
started the last three laps as anchor
man for George Washington just tive
yards ahead of Glascott of Catholic

F'eeney won.
| Dashes Are Best Events.
| Probably the best events of the
| night were the dashes. There was
not a runaway in any one OF these
| connections and in several heats
and one final the judges found 1t very
difficult to- pick winners. SO closely
! were the runners punched. In the

Dorsey Griffith of Georgetown was the
bost sprinter on the floor. but some OF
the other men gave him hard rub for
first honors. lie Gendre. also Of George
town, occupied about the same position
in relationship TO the hurdles that Grit

or Hilltop runner got away In front
his supporters in the stands did not
hesitate to let the other people in the
big gymnasium know just who they
were for.
Unlike most indoor meets that have
been held here, the floor was note
cluttered up, with surplus officiaIl
and. something else the floor wak
kept clear of people who had no rear
business on it. Athletes were hustled
on the floor as soon as their events
were called and they went of as soon
as their events were over, consequent
ly much mixing up of matters around
the finish was avoided.
1t was c. Us first attempt to hold
an indoor meet, but the affair reflected
credit on the school. 1t presages
greater success in the future.
1t was impossible TO get the exact
data on number of points scored by
the various teams as the pole vault
