knights of Columbus in the Twenty
second Regiment Arnory. Jack Sellers
of the New York A c. finished second
s yards behind the Hub athlete. while
third place went to Joe Higgins an
other New York A. c. representative,
who finished Q yards behind Sellers.
Vincent Reilly of St Anslem's A. c.
was fourth. Driscoll was clocked In /
minute 15 2-5 seconds.
For his victory Driscoii was presented
with the beautiful K OF c. trophy which
was donated by Archbishop Hayes. The
New England collegian at the crack of
the starters gun was off his mark like
a flash. and before the field had covered
ten yards was seen in front. From this
point until he crossed the finish line
Driscoll always held the honor position.
He took the other contestants around
the first lap at e fast clip, with Jack
Sellers second, Joe Higgins in third
place and F. ). Murrey of Princeton
in fourth position. The rest OF the field
was punched q few yards in the rear.
Sellers several times challenged the
Boston athlete. but on each occasion the
Mercury Footer lacked the necessary
punch to keep up with the speedy Dr.s-
coll. On the third lap Murrey fell be-
hind and was passed by Vincent Reilly.
Harrington Leads Walkers.
The mile handicap walk brought to-
gether a select field OF heel and toe
artists. The event was won by Ed
Harrington OF Long Island City, who
was allowed the liberal handicap OF /
minute Is seconds. The Long Island
walker made good use Of his allowance
and held the lead throughout. Willie
Plant OF the Morningside A. c.. the
scratch man, was second, and T. Maro-
ney Of st. Anselm's A. c. was third.
Joe Erbal, an unattached athlete. won
the handicap running high jump with o.
leap OF feet. Erbal. who holds the
junior national championship at this
event. was in receipt Of or inch nam
dlcap. Walter Whalen, ano | er Boston
A. a. athlete. who was the Sc atch man.
was placed second, with Jump of 5
feet II inches.
Eugene Sharp Of the Seventy-rirst
Regiment was the only competitor to
earn record honors. The mark he
shattered was the racing 100 yards in a
sack He covered tho distance in IA
seconds. The old record of 10 seconds
was made by James McCahill. an old
Seventy first Regiment runner, ten years
ago. McCahill trained Sharp for mis-
record breaking performance.
There seems no doubt as TO the ac-
ceptance of Sharp's new mark by the
A. A. u, because four competent timers
held watches during the contest and
capable neasurers who measured the
distance over which Sharp raced found
that the record breaker had actually
covered three and q half inches over 100
yards.
