| though, Id in the stretch dropped back
to second place with Yale in the lead.
Irvine ran second for Virginia, and
while he could not overcome the lead
! that was held against him he hung
tenaciously to the flying Dark Blue run
ner, and sent Talbot, the third Eir-
| ginia man. off just four yards behind.
That third relay was done just a fraction
! under fifty seconds, and when Talbot
| finished 1t was to send Bohannon off not
a yard back of Norton, Yale's anchor
| man Then Bohannon beat Norton 5ast
as he beat Herlihy yesterday, only more
easily. For 800 yards he hung to Nor
tons heels not more than yard or two
yards back, as c.ose as he dared run not
to get spiked.
Just before the StraightaWay Bohannon
pulled up to the Yale mans shoulder
| and when he turned into the stretch
with him on even terms the end of the
race was a foregone conclusion. At the
tape Norton was four yards back. and
Bohannon had carried Virginia's colors
to brilliant and well deserved victory
in race which carried with it the
right to be designated the fastest mile
relay team in the United States. The
time was minutes 19 1-5 seconds.
Tech Team Lands Second.
Technical High School started in
fourth place in it's relay event, but pulled
up to second. in which place it finished.
The Brooklyn Manual Training School
four, which beat Tech, simply was foo
good, and the time, 3.35 90, was better
than Tech had any right to expect to
make.
Episcopal High ran well during two
laps of it's mile relay, but could not
hold the pace, and dropped back from
first to third position, in which it fin
ished. 1t was beaten by Kiskiminetas
School of western Pennsylvania and
the George School of Philadelphia.
With the exception of Ohio Wesleyan
University, which ran away with the
race, George Washington was the best
of the group in which it was placed
1t ran without form in the first two
laps, but in the third Tolson did every
thing that could have been looked for
even by the most ardent Hatchetites
and put his team in a position to get
second honors.
Howard University finished first in
the initial lap of the relay event in
which it took part, but fell back con-
siderably in the second and third re-
lays, SO far back the last. man could
not hope to do anything, notwithstand-
ing he covered an exceptionally fast
quarter.
Pugh Runs Good Race.
Pugh did exceedingly well in the first
relay of the class B mile championship
in which the University of Maryland
ran. Getting a bad start, he worked
his way to the front on the back
stretch, fell back to fourth place, and
then in the final hundred yards again
fought his way back to the front and
started his second runner on even
terms with the Occidental College of
California man.
Maryland's second runner could not
hold his own, though, and dropped back
to fourth place, in which the team fin
ished. Navy finished in this event about
pfO nd
bia University was second and Boston
College third. The victors, who came
all the way here from California,
showed stellar quarter-miler in
Spangler, who ran the final lap for
his team in 40 seconds fiat.
In the high hurdles, Kearney of
Georgetown failed to place in his heat.
In the shot-put, Plansky of George
town got fourth place and Beers OF
Maryland fifth.
