the greater part of the route, but N
Within a hundred yards of the
nnish the Cygnet man managed to
get just ahead of Booth and main
tanned the slight advantage to the
end. Booth finished less than a fifth
OF second behind Nicholson, the
time difference being so slight that

record it,

mediately was Dan Healy, veteran
Washington athlete. He did the 10
miles in So minutes So seconds. The

When the runners were started from
the east front of the Capitol by
Maj Gen. John A. Lejeune, COM
mandant OF the Marine Corps, a squad
including Booth, Nicholson. Morris,
Myer, Kennedy and Kyronen jumped
out in front of the remainder of the
contestants. They had Travelled only
a few blocks east on Pennsylvania
avenue before they were we'll ahead
of the other runners
After two miles had been covered,
Morris was in the lead with Booth
in second place and Nicholson third.
Kennedy and Myers were just behind
and Leach following them. Healey
then was running in eleventh posi-
ton.
There was little change among the
leaders in the next three miles, but
after the halfway point was turned
several shifts in the forward squad
occurred MaXer in front then
with Booth second and Agee third,
all closely punched. Nicholson was
fourth and James Neighbor of CAL
laudet College fifth, a couple of min
utes behind the leading trio. Healy
was running tenth, just behind
Morris.
Neck and Neck Near Finish.
There was a general shake-up in
the positions of the runners when the
first had reached Eighteenth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, near the
end of the eighth mile of the trying
race Booth and Nicholson were
abreast as they turned from the Ave
nue. into Eighteenth street, with KY
ronen, Meyer and Agee running neck
and neck about l 5 yards behind them.
About two minutes later Leach,
Tranter and Morris made the turn.
Healy and Mead followed.
Swinging into the Ellipse for the
last five-eighths of mile grind,
Booth was in front, Nicholson second,
Kyronen third, Meyer fourth and
Agee fifth. On the way around the
oval Tranter spurted, passing Leach
first and Agee next. Leach then made
a game bid to overhaul Agee, but was
not quite equal to the task. Michel
sen ran almost even with Booth until
just before the finish was reached,
then stepped out to victory.

will receive the trophy awarded the
first college to have five runners get
