100 yard dash then
Husseys defeat was his first at 100
yards since starting competition in Feb
ruary, 1921, and only the third In his
career. In his novice debut at the
Dickinson High School meet, February
90. 1871, he ran third In the 149 yard run.
and at the same meet February e. 1872,
he ran second to a teammate, Randy
Taylor. In the so yard dash. >
In fourteen previous races at 100
yards Hussey had established a remark
able record. He twice defeated Revell
of Hill School, considered one of the
best prep school sprinters In the East.
and led La Vim to tho tape on half a
dozen occasions. He ran 100 yards out
doors in 9 9-10 seconds. and 100 yards in
doors in 10 is seconds, both of them
interscholastic records for the East. He
also eQualed the national scholastic in
doors mark for 70 yards, 2-5 seconds.
La Vim proved to be further advanced
in his training than Hussey. He ran a
fine race and will prove Hussey's main
rival during the coming season.
Randy Taylor the Stuyvesant negro
flash, who made a name as the fastest
schoolboy football player in the city
this year surprised by his showing in
the race with Hussey and La Vim. He
was only couple of yards back Of the
leaders and defeated Johnny Sacco Of
High School of Commerce for third place
rather handily.

ME Wefers, Jr., Eddie Farrell and Sol
Butler, In a series Of dashes at both the
municipal athletic games January IL and
the Fordham University A. A. meet
January 20.
Albert E. Collins. Husseys coach. has
refused both invitations. That Hussey
will race In scholastic meets on Janu-
ary 13 and 20 is only secondary con-
sideration with Mr.. Collins. He believes
that Hussey at II years has not reached
his mature strength, and he intends to
stick to his plan Of taking Hussey along
as easily as possible, running in all
scholastic meets. but not venturing into
A. A. U. competition.
Hussey's defeat overshadowed the
very fast times made In all of the events
at the Stuyvesant High School games.

star, won the quarter mile event by
twenty yards. eased up, in SO 2-5 Sec
