man. in O:53 3-5. The mile was an
nexed by Htsler, of the Meadowbrook
Club in 4:29:2. Romig. the famous
Penn State cross-country star, failed
to place. although he had plenty Of
stun and failed to use it in time.
In a special relay race Gallaudet's
mile relay team proved to be better
than the Harrisburg Tech High School
youngsters, who put up game but
losing fight.
Perkins. a Baltimore youth. won
the open half in 2:O2:2 over Walsh, OF
Georgetown.
ENGLAND FALLS DOWN.
Joe England, official Handicapped.
admitted that he had had something
slipped over on him in the shot-put
when he gave Benz, of Staunton. the
215-pound youngster who has been
winning all of the schoolboy meets,
within two inches of the limit in the
shot-put. Benz won handily, with an
actual heave of 80 feet 3 inches.
Beck. of Penn State, who was slammed
for a loop in the heavyweight boxing
bout at the Naval Academy earlier in
the day, was unable to place.
The fields were so crowded in the
220, $50, and quarter that spills were
plentiful. Ben Carpenter, former
Tech High athlete, running for the
Virginia freshmen, got a nasty fall in
the furlong, but recovered quickly.
The furlong was won by Calkins,
of Hopkins, a limit handicap man,
who nosed out Emanuel Aaronsoh, an
other Hopkins limit handicap man and
former Tech High athlete. of this city.
Wirts, of Georgetown, who was not
counted in place in the hundred
earlier in the evening in the S. A.
event, got third after a great struggle
from the 7-yard mark.
RELAY A FROST.
The South Atlantic mile relay cham
pionship race was frost Hopkins
bad an entry and Catholic University,
early in the week was persuaded to
enter a quartet.
Last night the Brooklanders failed
to put relay on the floor and Hop
kins romped through unhindered by
opposition.
Neither relay from Western High
School was able to win, although Lee
Douglas. captain of the track team,
gained third place in the scholastic
$50, won by Hofflemire, of Harrisburg
Tech, with Shipley, of Central, second.
One of the most popular wins for
local boys was that Of Dynamite"

opened up a wide gap in the last
twenty yards of the .schoolboy CEN
tury dash and won handily defeating
his teammate Johnston. Kern, the
Central flyer, did not compete.
A large audience was considerably
disappointed by the failure of the
collegiate stars to run in the events
listed. Yale. Penn State, Lafayette
and Lehigh men, Olympic stars like
Crawford went in the relay events
and kept out of the open races.
The practice of the big colleges
to save the stars for the relays in
as listed does considerable harm on
account of the fact that the events
are rated in handicap on the star
performers while in the actual races
with these men not in competition
varied results in finishes are seen.
The pace Is often quite different from
what ii would be il the best perform
ers were running.
Last nights meet presages a clean
sweep for Georgetown in the South
Atlantic championships next week at
Catholic University. The fact that
Virginia's term examinations are held
up a strong representation.
Catholic University and Hopkins
had nothing to compare with George
town and even though Hopkins an
neNed open point honors all OF the
winners were either limit or near
limit handicap men.
