It was the old reserve strengths
that came to Tony's aid with the
timely Garrison finish. He was q
hara second at the conclusion Of
fha first half of the decathalon.
But In the afternoon. when ADLER
young men were badly firing, Tony
was Just arriving, he sprinted
boldly in the final stages Of The
1bOO-meter run.
Plansky, rated as one of the best
students in the Hilltop school,

placed second, with Sturtridge, Of
De Pauw, in the lead. The score
would have been % to 81 against
Tony.
Piansky's record for the ten

shot put, first. with q heave OF

fifth place competition, but they
were never seriously in the run

Washington's representatives who
scored were: Gcghan. Georgetown,
third. in 400 meters hurdles; spring
medley relay championships, won by
Georgetown (setting new worlds
record of 3:2S), Herlihy, AScher,
Haas, and Marsters.
Never were eight f1edglings 50
showered with care and attention as
the eight members Of Georgetown
University's mile and two-mile re-
lay teams. The treatment they get
would shame any idolatrous fond
mamma.
The grandest chance Georgetown
ever had to garner the highest
athletic honors IN the country lies
mainly upon those millfed young
men.
Patriarch John d. o'ReilIy. Trainer
Pike Albaugh, Father Vincent Nc
Donough. and Jimmy Mulligan have
constituted themselves q vigilance
committee. They hover in and about
and around those precious eight
for fear something may happen
They have thus far successfully
STAYED off the ravages Of kidnaperS,
well-meaning but beneful alliances,
and indigestion. Walters all over
Pennsylvania have been warned
not to give anyone looking like q
Georgetown athlete anything but
steak. eggs and potatoes.
The question now arises. "What
doesS a Georgetown athlete look
like?" Make up your own formula.
Pike Albaugh, Blue and Gray man
Friday, is hopeful. Pixies contract
expires in two days, and he wants
nothing more than tc act as trainer
on record breaking teams.
This bunch Of athletes will be
the saddeSt crew in the whole
wide world If those two relay
teams fail to shatter all existing
records. They do not talk Of
winning. They know they will
win, but they want to 90 down to
pOsterity as holders Of records.
1t is a dead cinch that eight men
will run their eighty toes off to
set new marks, needed in some hot
competition. With so many teams
withdrawing because of the Hill
toppers prowess, 1t is not likely
that they will be pushed.
Georgetown's performances have
been so brilliant they are the out
standing heroes of the meet. II a
q. q. man happens to be in a
race everyone wants him pointed
out.
Plansky and Norton, chief con-
tenders for the decathalon, are
the cynosure of all eyes. Both
are big. strapping fellows, not un-
like many sheiks in appearance
Norton, formerly Of Kansas Uni
versity. would win in a beauty
contest.
Georgetown is throbbing in a
perfect saturnalia of sensational 40
complishments on the track Every
where you go the talk is of the
Hilltop school, what it's representa-
tives have done and will do.
Johnny Holden, ex-Central high
track star and a member of Penn
sylvania's brilliant two-mile relay
two years ago, may be the one to
crack the existing two-mile relay
record. He is in perfect shape and
he would be tickled silly to help
q. u. beat his old school.
John 0ReIIIy made . last
minute switch in his line up for
the sprint college medley cham,
piOnship relay. He took out
Brooks for the $50 and put
MArstins in. The latter tied Ted
Meredith's haIf-miIe record and
John was indicated. Incidentally,
the combination clipped twO-fifths
Of q second off the record, which
was held by Pennsylvania. The
time was 1928.
Chester Bowman, Syracuse sprint
merchant, was cheated out of an
exhibition when the second man in
the 440 relay dropped his stick and
