Records Hung Up.
BY EDWARD A. FULLER, JR.


Marshall High of Richmond in the
fifteenth annual &C" Club track
meet yesterday in Central Stadium
and saw them score 2915 points
to win the meet and first legs on
/ the coveted Emory Wilson Mem
orial and Cornell Cups. 1t was
the first time the boys from the
Old Dominion capital have tri-
umphed in the meet.
Mercersburg Academy, long famed for
its illustrious athletes, and competing
in the affair for the first time, finished
second with "a points, nosing out by a
lone point Woodberry Forest. Episcopal
High with 1919 was fourth. Eastern was
seventh with S u points to lead the Dis
trict schools. Central and Dewitt each
counted and Tech registered just 2.
EOREST PARK HIGH of Baltimore
i for the eighth time in nine years
took team honors in the junior di-
vision and won the Jim Sprigman
trophy. Eliot Junior Highs squad of
this city, coached by Bruce Kessler, for
mer American University athlete, was
second with 10 points. Episcopal with
8 was third and Langley with 5 was
fourth
1t was a well balanced team that
swept John Marshall to victory. Its
representatives won only events
OF the Is, 2 of these relay tests, but
there were few events, especially on the
track in which the boys from the banks
of the James did not place second or
third. Ed Turner, who captured the
220-yard dash was the lone John Mar
shall individual victor but its comEina-
tions dashed to triumph in both the
half mile relay, a new event this year,
and the sprint medley relay, Turner
being a member of both quartets.
John Marshall was content to let
such outstanding boys as Harry Harmon
of Woodbury. Forest. who won three
events, breaking records in two, and
! John Tufts of Episcopal, who flashed
| in winner in both the hurdle events,
bask in the spotlight.
Harmon took the broad and high
i i jumps with record performances
| Only two other records were hung
| up and one of these was for the new
relay event. Harman leaped 81 feet 9
inches in the broad jump, against the
mark of 81 feet 5lz inches, made by
Grover Everett of Eastern in 1881, and
took the high jump with a leap of 6
feet ia inches, slightly better than
an inch better than. the 6-foot I. Inch
| jump of Calvin Milans of Central il
1928. The Woodberry boy won the
discus with a heave of 1872 feet 11h
inches, which is short of the record
by something like feet
| Bill Guckeyson, 180-pound all-around
athlete of Bethesda Chevy Chase High,
surprised by winning the shotput, with
| lunge of so feet 8 inches. that ex-
ceeded the former mark made by Bob
Train Of Episcopal last year by 2 inches
| Guckeyson placed second to Harmon
in the discus.
THERE was plenty of drama about
i the meet. Jack White of Mercer
burg, put on "a stirring finish to win
the l00-yard dash, Coleman Headley of
Hargraye Military Academy, former
Hyattsville High athlete, had to strug-
! gle stoutly to beat Hildebrand to the
finish by scant margin to triumph
F, in the mile, and Hoxton of Episcopal
made up a world of ground, but was
| vanquished in heart-breaking finish
| by Mills of Mercersburg on the anchor
| leg of the &C" Club mile relay This
win gave Mercersburg the Eugene Casey
Cup.
Frank Kocsis, only letter winner on
the Central squad. and who was acci-
dentally shot some time ago, scored all
his teams points. finishing second in
the javelin and third in the broad Jump
and shotput.
The George Hamilton Memorial Cup
was awarded Mercersburg for finishing
second in the senior division.
