century Bets new mark.
Joe Connolly, national junior mile
titleholder, literally spread eagled the
S. A. l. A. mile race. Connolly pro-
duced q 4:3O with comparative ease,
new figures which displace those of
Louis yConnor, made in 1915. The
Georgetown runner finished we'll
within himself, while Mulliken just
nosed out Fitzg erald.
Sheehan's third in the hurdles, Fit
gerald's third in the mile and Ouray's
third in the century, finished out the
Blue and Gray total in the feature sec
tional events.
The fact that yirginia's athletes
gained second place to, Princeton in
the open events presages some real
competition in the outdoor South At

burg in midway.
Central Does Well.
Bill Foley's Central High School
lads did well in the relays, but were
handicapped so heavily and unjustly
in the interscholastic events that they
failed to come through. Hugh John
ston, District interscholastic sprint
champion, got but third in the CEN
fury in ten fat. Krebs, of Gilman,
gained third in the scholastic quarter.
Humphreys, of Tome, who decisive
ly defeated Bob Montgomery, in the
mile in Baltimore last spring, was
given twenty-nine yards in the half.

short for a place after cutting down
fifteen runners.

from the eighteen-yard mark after
running strong race.
HRtchetites Are Beaten.
Up to the last 200 yards, George
Washington runners had a thirty-yard
lead on the Delaware College lads in
the medley relay. Stevens, of G. w.
u, was unequal to the task of defeat
ing Harmer, the Delaware crack, and
lost by thirty yards when Harmer
opened up.
Three Central High relays Compel
ed. In two races the Central lads
were well matched and won and lost.
The defeat was attributable to Gems
berg, who, with n victory well in
hand, went to sleep i'm the stretch and
allowed a Baltimore lad to nip him
at the tape. Central's other win was
waikaway. Against Westerns
juniors the Central unlimited team
romped home. Baltimore Poly and
Baltimore City, scheduled for this
race. were withdrawn, leaving the two
unequally matched teams to run.
