Yount was number Is In the PEN
tathlon entry list. a jinx number to
be sure. He didn't know much about
where to go for the various events.
He was handicapped by having a torn
ligament in his right arm and failed
miscrabIy in the discus and Javelin.
in the broad jump and 1900 meters.
Yount won handily. In the 200 meters
he was clocked in % 4-6 seconds. This
was a pretty fair days work consid-
ering the fact that he wasted whole
lot of energy in "caddying' Tor ihe
javelin and discus throwers.
Yount was learning something
from the discus and javelin men and
~ God in the field throwing the discus
and javelin back TO the performers
after he had taken his trials. Al. this
happened Friday.
Saturday Yount was out bright and
early looking 'em over. In the ioo-
yard dash he earned second ia his
heat to Sholz In I0:1. Ran out Ia the
strong for second place men and lost
to Messingale. of Missouri.
Somewhat later he ran third on the
Redlands team in winning the Class
college race. The time Tor his
team was 1892 and 3x seconds was
clipped OFF the existing record. yount
to the astonishment Of everyone. VAS
clocked in so flat for his quarter and
he picked up a fair six yards and
turned over five-yard lead to khby
who ran last.
Still earlier In the day Yount ran
second to Smith, of Cornell. In hur-
die heat which was won In 16 sec
onds. When the Rediands lads came
out once again In the collegiate title

Yount must have been tired that
night
Next spring Washington is going
TO have two of the biggest meets out
of doors that this section can boast.
Unfortunately both events fall on the
second Saturday in May, and unless q
change is made there is likely to be a
conflict.
The South Atlantic meet will be
staged at Georgetown, according to
decision made at Blacksburg, Va, last
week. The &C" Club, of Central. will
hold it's third annual meet In the
Central Stadium on the same date.
Washington has never had a chance
to watch the South Atlantic games.
The meet here should bring up the
best of the talent from the section.
make II interesting for the Visiting
squads, especially IL Virginia SENDS
its team up to compete.
1t will be interesting to see wheth-
er or not the Charlottesville men,
winners OF this years title Will make
the journey here.
With proper training and prepara-
tion the high school mile record
seems to be within the grasp of Bob
Montgomery, Centrals' track captain.
Monty" is as game a youngster and
at the same time as heady runner
as can be found in many a day. He
is deserving of all the good things
said of him. Incidentally Montgom-

he started distance running. Once he
was a bit out OF his class. and last
winter he was so heavily handicapped
at Baltimore that he could not gain

Another track captain in the schools

to set new figures for the high school
half mile. He is in class by himself
at that distance hereabouts and can
