William Hopkins, University of Vir-
ginia freshman, was the only athlete
TO win two events and in both he
swept to new records. He streaked
his way to victory in the 100 and 200
meter dashes-the former in 1915
and the latter in PA. In both
events he lowered marks set by Earl
Widmyer, formerly of Maryland.
These marks were 1913 and 218.
Began in Great Attempt.
HOPKINS captured the 100 rather
easily over George Began of
Georgetown. but the latter came
within foot of nipping him at the
finish in the 200-meter, which was
negotiated within two-tenths of
second of the Olympic standard, held
by Eddie Tolan.
Another Olympic mark threatened
was that in the broad jump. Mon
cure Little, formerly of William and
Mary. competing unattached, leaped
"a feet IL inches, within So, inches
of the Olympic record held by Edward
Hamm and 2 feet 6i2 inches better
than the D. C. A. A. U. mark Of %
feet Az inches held by Beers, for
merly of Maryland.
Ivan Mothershead, Virginia Tech
senior, was another outstanding per-
former. He scored an upset when he
conquered Coleman Headley. Mary
land ace in the l.5O0-meter run,
withstanding stout challege by the
Old Liner in the closing stages.
Headley, who triumphed over Mother
shead recently, was we'll back until
the late going. Lieut.. r. M. Bauer,
U. S. A, set the pace for the first
three laps. The race was run in
4:00.3, new record 1t was Is ITO
seconds better than the former stand
ard of 4:14.0 held by Mcdonald of
Catholic University.
Headley Comes Back.
Headley, however, chalked up a VIC
tory in the 800meter run when he
bettered his own record of 1888 by
six-tenths of a second.
In the 11O-meter high hurdles,
James Rogers of Washington and Lee
clipped four-tenths of a second of
the meet record, held by Everett of
Virginia. Rogers stepped the distance
in 0:152.
Bill Lumpkin Of the University of
Richmond turned in a notable per-
formance in capturing the 5,O0O-meter
run in the breaking time of
16:05.0. This compared with the old
mark of 1866 held by Sholtes of the
Washington Track and Field Club.
Lumpkin and John Leiss of the
Washington Track and Field Club
were the leaders virtually all the way,
with LeisS faltering in the final stages.
In the javelin throw, Bill Guckeyson
OF Maryland. although he has given
little time to track this Spring, hurled
the spear 2O4 feet 3h inches to break
his own record of 1876 feet 9A inches.
Ed Hahnfeldt of Bulls Prep School
of Washington was another to hang
up new mark. He heaved the discus
l39 feet 7 inches In winning that
event. The former record of 1872 feet
1134 inches was achieved by Guckey-
son. who did not compete in that
event yesterday.
