/, came his rival, Hal Cutbill of Boston.
The Flying Parson, followed by Jimmy
Connolly of Georgetown.
The Hunter mile, feature race on the
| evening program, was pronounced 4
! wonderful exhibition OF almost perfect
running. Ray finished as fresh as a
| daisy. The belief however, was prev
| alent that had Ray set his pace from
| the crack of the gun instead of allow
| ing Hal CutbilI to hold the lead for al
most three-quarters of the way. Ray
! could have easily gone below the 4.e0
mark. Ray did not really let out until
| the three-quarter mark had heen
reached. As he commenced to pull
away Cutbill was able to stay with
| him a while, but the rest of the field
began to fade and Ray stood proni.

Don Mason CT Bowdoin finished third
| in the final of the 6S0-yard handicap
run after winning his trial heat about
! an hour before. Webster of BOwdotn
| flashed in fourth position close behind
, Mason. Considering the fact that the
! Bowdoin runners has gone through ,
| tough relay race and a grilling trial
| heat. they did we'll. Captain Hunt did
not figure among the Anal point win
ners. The competition was too great
for Bishop of Bowdoin in the pole
vault and Philbrook OF Bowdoin in the
