In his heat of the event Hussey
merely breezed down the straight
away in comparatively slow time.
Two other heats were run in faster
time than the New Yorker accom-
plished his, and great final was
A great final came about, but it
was a great final mainly because
Hussey made it great. He jumped
out in front of Pugh and Ziegler, in
whom many pinned their faith and
gradually broadened the distance
until he strdck the tape'three or four
yards in front of Pugh and a good
six yards ahead of Ziegler. 1t was
rema rkable running. and everybody
knew that the event had been pro-
ductive of a splendid effort not only
on Hussey's part, but on the part of
the Washingtonians who opposed
him.
Hussey Given an Ovation.
When the time was announced as
given splendid ovation. Two
watches caught the time at 9 6-10 and
four at 40, and the fact that the
time was made on a track soggy
with rain and on cold, wet after
noon makes it all the more remark
able.
All three records in the field events
were made by Central men. Baker bet
tered his own discus mark of a year
ago. at that time throwing the plate

that Baker then went out and put the
twelve-pound shot A feet 34 inches.
which was nearly two feet farther than
the record set by Palmer of Greenbrier
Military Academy last spring, when he
attained a distance of AZ feet 3 inches.
In the final field event, the javelin
throw, Gordon broke the mark hitherto
held by McFadden, who threw the spear
142 feet inches in 1921.
Central High won the meet, lacking
only one point of doubling the score of
the next best squad. The Blue and White
rolled up a total of II points. while
Eastern High was third with 13. Cen
tral, for winning the meet, gets the
Cornell trophy; Tech, for finishing sec
ond, the Emory Wilson memorial trophy,
and Eastern, for its third place, the
George w Hamilton memorial trophy.
Johnson-Powell School captured the
cup for the grade school scoring the
most points.
Watches for Pugh and Baker.
Two watches for the highest num-
Der of points scored in the events
by individuals went to Pugh off Tech
for the track competitions and to
Baker for the field. Pugh won the
220-yard dash in % seconds and got
second in the 100 in time that must
have been perilously close to 10 flat.
Bakers points went to him as re-
suit of his victories in the shot and
discus Pugh's second place in the
100 counted almost as much for him
as victory in any ordinary event be-
cause he beat Ziegler, the Central
star, who was thought to be faster.
And it was Ziegler who was expected
by most of those present to give Hus-
hn oil
Eckel, who won the SS0-yard run
for Central. threw away fine op-
portunity to set a new record in the
half mile by running too fast in his
first quarter. AS result he Slumped
in the last 220 of the event and prob
ably ran a full three seconds slower
than he could had his pace been bet
ter judged. At that, he covered the
distance in 2 minutes 3 and frac-
tion seconds.
Events for Girls Held.

cp1stomed program by including
