yesterday at College Park
were carried of by local schools.
Eastern High won the open inter-
scholastic track and field meet,
with Central pushing 1t hard for
first position, while Maryland de-.
feated West Virginia in base ball
and Penn State in lacrosse.
The victories that went to other
institutions were those of Navy
over Maryland in the dual track
meet and Hagerstown High in the
events for county high schools.
Eastern won the interscholastic meet.
but it had a difIicult time doing It.
The Light Blue and White was showed
to the limit by Central. while Tech
and Episcopal were right in the run
ming. Eastern got 80 points, Central
"a. Episcopal % and Tech 10.
Tech might have finished second had
it not been that Reichman In the mile
thought he had finished as q winner
when he reached the end of the third
covered his mistake. ran back on the
track and finally finished second. but
was disqualified.
Odd End 10 Ball Game.
The way Maryland won In the ninth
inning In the ball game with West
Virginia was almost as peculiar as
the way Tech lost in the mile. With
the score a tie, to 5, in the last half
Of the ninth. Chalmers Of Mary
land had walked and Wilson at
tempted a sacrifice. The ball went
rather sharply to the West Vtr-
GINA pitcher, and the first haSeman,
hoping to cut Chalmers of to prevent
Maryland having q man in q scoring
position. yelled to the hurler to cut
the ball to second. He turned then anC
looked toward second apparently To
watch the play there, but the pitcher
instead of obeying the call of the hrst
baseman, shot the ball to that player,
who was not looking. The ball went
by the f1rst baSeman mheeded and
Chalmers ran around and scored the
winning run, the final tally being
6 to 5.
After the first three or four minutes,
it was apparent that only O miracle
could keep Maryland from beating
Penn State decisively In the lacrosse
contest. Two goals were made In.
rather rapid succession, while Penn
State could not get its attack going
at any time. The result was 10 to o,
the Old Liners continually attacking
unable to keep the ball in its posses
sion long enough to make any kind Of
showing. 80
Navy Trackmen Win Easily.
Navy gave Maryland q terrible
trouncing in the track meet, as far as
points were concerned, but actually the
competition in most of the events was
close. Navy had a wide margin In the
$50. the mile and two miles, but the
| other events were much more closely
fought out than the results indicate.
However, the Sailors were generally
superior in almost every form Of compe-
ton. Maryland won only two first
places. Ward taking the 100 yard dash
and Fouts the high jump. Ward prob
ably would not have got his event had
Mckenzie, Nays sprint star, not been
kept out Of the race. The final result
in points was I01 to IS.
Hagerstown High School was high
point scorer in the events for county
| high schools for the second consecutive
| year. Hyattsville High gave 1t the
hardest run, scoring 9 points against
Hagerstown's Il. Marlboro was third
with z and Annapolis fourth with s..
MeritoriOus Track Work.
The most meritorious performances
by individuals In the track meets were
the 1857 AS by Hardman Of Navy IN
the half mile, the 81 fiat by Smith of
Long Branch High School Of New Jer-
Sey in the open interScholaSticS, and
the 81 feet Az inch broad jump by
Widmyer of Hagerstown in the events
: fOr c1hnO1e Nathan Lar
nor Smith was pushed in his event, and
each probably would have bettered his
mark had he been showed by q runner
right at his heels. These two marks
are the best that ever have been made
for these events in their respective
classes on the Maryland track
Slye Of Eastern High and widnnyer
of Hagerstown High won the gold
watches for individuals IN the open in
terscholastic events and in the class,
for county schools. Slye won the high
hurdles, got second In the low. and sec. .
end in the broad jump to score IL
points. Widmyer won the 100 yard
dash and also the broad jump to score
10 points.
MARYLAND got the jump on Penn
w State in the lacrosse game by scor-
ing a goal in the first minute Of
play and was never threatened. The
Old Liners held 4-to-0 edge at the
end Of the half
In the second period Maryland's sup
ertority was even more marked, the
Old Liners registering nine goals. The
ball was kept In the Lions territory
most of the time
Lee and Pugh led the Maryland at
tack with three goals apiece, while
Colostmo and Stieber marked up two
each.
IN the base ball game. the Old Liners
i and Mountaineers, entered the ninth
