old days" and q bit faster.
The old timers saw new schools
show the way-new names of cos
nopolitan type crowd into the list of
winners. Some fifteen years ago Cen
tenary Collegiate, Tome. Lawrence
vile, Hill, Hotchkiss and the rest of
that company had habit of cleaning
up in the N. Y. U. games. De Witt
Clinton, Commerce, Poly Prep, Boys
High and Erasmus were the leaders
in the city high school division But
yesterday it was Stuyvesant High
which showed the way with total of
81 ponts-twenty more than Poly
Preps score. which earned it second
place. Clinton was third with 13.
1t was no surprise to see Stuyve-
SAINT. national and p. S. A. l.. indoor
champion, pile up so big total, and
Tor Stuyvesant to take leading honors
with the spectacular Frank Hussey,
who won both the 100 yard senior and
the javelin throw; with Carlo F'igue-
roa the versatile negro. who took the
220 yard dash and scored second in
The broad jump and third in the
nigh jump. George Gierschevski, the
all around performer. helped by win
ming the 120 yard high hurdles.
Hussey Keeps Record Clean.
Hussey. who is chunky blond with
pleasing smile-with speed on the cinders
and power in the field-made an impress
SIye showing. The national indoor and
local high school sprinting champion
Took his specially. the Century" in
lo2-5 seconds without being pressed to
his limit. Hussey has the distinction of
having shown his heels to every field In
which he has started. Craig La Vim of
Poly Prep, who later took the running
broad jump and made himself one of
The luminaries of the afternoon, was
second to Hussey.
Hussey went into the javelin more on
dare than anything else. IT was a new
event for him-new to most of the lads
who competed for it. The javelin this
year was substituted for the discus
throw. Hussey got off a throw of 1873
feet 10 inches and for time looked like
the easiest kind of a winner. But along
came Vic LAMBERT of Evander Chids
with a throw of 1873 feet inches and
made himself a formidable contender.
But LAMBERT could not improve on that
performance-and the medal went to
Hussey. LAMBERT also got second in
the shot put.
tigueroa returned to outdoor competi-
ton after a layoff of a year due to in
eligibility--and he came back with bells
on. He started scoring early. in the fur
long. The negro beat Leo Handy. the
high school title holder, by two yards
and indicated that in the coming out
door championships Handy would have
u mighty hard time retaining the hoiors
he won on board tracks.
In the broad jump Figucroa. with 20
feet 4 inch. was not very far behind
the winning La Vim. whose leap meas

Figueroa was two inches shy. of the best
leap J. Young OF East Orange was the
winner, with feet s inches. Charles
Major Of ne Witt Clinton. came between
Young and Figueroa with 5 feet inches.
Gallagher Takes the Mile.
There was intense intere in the one
mile run. which brought together Jack
Gallagher from st. Benedict's Prep of
Newark and s. Greenefege OF Flushing,
tho national indoor title holder. Gala
cher already held decision over Greene
Tege and the Newark lads adherents
were loud In their predictions that Gal
lagher would triumph once more.
And so II turned out Gallagher won
by three yards in 4.5i 10, and IL was not
Greenefege who pressed him. The cham

leader for three-quarters, finished fourth
behind NJ. Skane of Bridgeport.
The one mile relay was arfotber event
which attracted major attention. Most
OF the local schools are going TO the
Pennsylvania relays next Saturday, and
the event yesterday was the first and
only index to the outdoor form of the
teams. AS had been expected. De La
Sale. with the speedy Swinburne rum

Baronavsky do.ag the other quarters,

II was not quite as easy victory as
DC La Saile had looked for--and Il
