Manhattan Takes Meet
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 4.-Glenn
Cunningham, the greatest miller Of
them all, brought $4,000 Madison
Square Garden customers out of
their seats tonight as he let loose
with a sensational sprint for the
last lap and quarter to beat Don
Lash by a stride in a special 2-mile
race.
The event was an added feature
to the card Of the 18th annual Inter-
collegiate A. A. A. A. indoor track
and field championships. Manhat-
tan College, scoring in only one field
event, but placing men in six OF the
eight races, captured the team title
IN this with 36 points.
Sweep for New York.
Second place in the final point
tabulation went to New York Uni
versity, with 20, while Fordham fol-
lowed, with Is, to give metropolitan
colleges a -two-three sweep.
Gregory Rice of Notre Dame was
third and Tommy Deckard of Bloom
lngton, Ind, fourth and last in the
hand-picked field in the special race.
Cunningham won in minutes lib
seconds. Lash was timed in 9:l2.2
and Rice, stride behind him, in
9:124.
While Cunninghams' time was
far of Lash's world indoor record
OF 8:58, the manner in which Cum
ningham won more than made up
for that in the minds of the Spec
tators.
All winter long they have seen
the matchless veteran from Pea
BODY, kans., capture the big mile
specials by sprinting into the lead
on the backstretch and then coming
down the last straightway to victory.
Lash is Outsmarted.
But this time, making his first
tWo-mlle start in big-time competi-
ton, Cunningham sprinted double
his usual distance and in doing so
out -Jockeyed and out-sped the In
diana State policeman, himself the
most feared finisher in distance
running.
AS a record-making effort, the
race was failure, but as a race
which, after all, was its primary pur-
pose-this two-mile, in it's last lap and
half, was perfection, and lust fur
ther proof that Cunningham must
rank with the greatest of them all,
probably as the greatest.
