seve. Firsts 4. G. q.
In winning the meet Georgetown
scored seven nrsts, five seconds, four
thirds, two fourths and four hfths.
The team representing the Hiiltop
yesterday was probably one OF the
best-baIanced aggreeations which
ever represented the Blue and Gray
on the cinders. With two out
standing stars. LeGendre and Jimmy
Connolly. the Hilitoppers also had
men who were better than average
in the background.
LeGendre il credited with four
frsts. the javelin. discus. broad jump
and 10o-yard dash; Connolly with
two. the mile, and $50: and TuIlar
with one, the 22e-yard low hurdles.
in which LeGendre was forced to
run second.
Probably the three prettiest
events Of the meet were the finals
in the 1oo-yard dash; the $50 and
the 22o-yard low hurdlea

victory came by less than three
inches. In fact. they were still in
stride at the tape. and LeGendre's
chest can be credited with the vic
tory. The winning time was 10 Is.
Connolly Wins $50.

J Probably the biggest surprise OF
J the meet came in the 220-yard hur-
, dies. LeGendre, OF course. was con-
sidered the logical winner Of this
, event In the trials and semi finals
] his time was always q fifth Of a
I second faster than the winners OF
any other trial.
Tullar, Georgetown, however,
completely upset the dope when
, he raced LeGendre into the ground
in the early stages Of this event
{ and won going away by about three
yards. LeGendre, of course, was
: more or less tired on account fthe
: exertions Of previous events. but
nevertheless no one was more sur
prised than he when his youthful
teammate forced him to be satisfied
, with second honors-
II Coach John O'Reilly has any
I one in mind to take LeGendre's
place when that husky leaves school
il is probable that be is already
figuring on this same TulIar. Jus,
0 a youngster, Tullar is one Of the
most consistent men on the Hilltop
squad and though he is not as pro-
ficient as LeGendre in the field
. events at this time. still IL is more
I than likely, according to present In
d dicstions, that O'Reilly is consider
e ing grooming him to step into the
. big boys" shoes
