tet that had . handicap total Of
56 yards to Georgetown's 20.
The winners time was 3:28.2, COM
pared to 3:28.6 for st. Johns Uni
versity in the first section.
Some Stars Fare Badly.
Some of the country's best track
talent used the games and the fiat
floor as a conditioner for the major
banked-track carnivals still to come.
and not all Of them found the going
easy.
The trouble started with the first
Of the special limited handicap
events. In which the three highly
touted scratch men ran out Of the
money in the half-mile affair. while
Sanford Goldberg Of the Millrose
A. A., who had 10-yard handicap,
ran as II he were answering q 4
alarm call to cop first prize in
1866.
The flying fireman beat back .
stretch drive by Curtis Glddings Of
New York U, an 8-yard man, as
Jim Kehoe Of Maryland placed
third.
Wes Wallace of Fordham. who
declined IN s-yard Jump aud started
from scratch with the indoor world
record.holder, John Borican, and
National Champion Charley Bee
than, staged a strong finish to get
fourth, Borican ran sixth and
Beetham seventh and last.
Veteran Glenn Cunningham faced
battle in the mile run. He hit
the tape with bare daylight showing
between him and Carmen Bova Of
Seton Hall College.
Cunningham's Time Not Hot.
Cunninghams time was 4:ls6,
not particularly good either for
Glen or for any armory door. The
surprise was Bova, former national
prep school champion who brought
down the house with q grand race
OF IS yards. ...- ---
Bova, inches back of Glenn,
finished just ahead of Mason
Chronister, Southern Conference
champion from the University Of
Maryland.
George De George Of the New
York A. c., from as yards, was
fourth, while Luigi Beccali, who
declined handicap. dropped out.
The 1882 Olympic l.500-meter win
ner pulled up going into the last
lap.
Cunningham. who gave handicaps
up to 40 yards, simply moved up
on the pace-setters, going into
second with two to 60. Bova
jumped into the lead as the bell
rang for the last lap. but couldn't
meet Cunningham's kick.
The handicap half mile found for
tune splitting the breaks between
two stars. The race was run In four
sections. The first, and the fast
est, was won by Scratch Man Jim
Herbert, N. Y. us 6o0-yard special
list, in 1892.
Les MacMitchell. brilliant N. Y.
U. sophomore, skidded and fell on
the last turn of the second section
Just as she was bidding for the
lead after having moved up from
fifth to second.
Terps Run Gsod Races.
Kehoe and Mason Chronister,
Marylands Southern Conference
half-mile and mile champions. re-
spectively, put on q good show.
A disappointment to the custo-
mers, however, was the fact that
Paul Phil Graves, Georgetown fresh
man, dropped out Of the special mile
with only half Of the race run. He
won last year.
Kehoe, as in the K. Of c. games
two weeks ago. didn't move up until
the late stages. Fourth with q lap
to 60, he cut down one more rival.
Chronister, in the mile, put on a
blistering finish that almost cut
down Carmen Bova In the final
sprint to the wire. Bova was inches
ahead of the Terp.
All 2-Milers Are Beaten.
The two scratch men in the 2-mile
also found the handicaps, up to 165
yards, too much for them. Tommy
Deckard Of Bloomington, Ind, took
a 10-yard lacing from Larry Mo-
riarty Of Manhattan in the first
section Of the emile, and Joe Nc
Cluskey Of Manchester, Conn, who
has won more national Champion
ships than any other trackman,
was beaten by Joe Cares Of New
York U.
Moriarty had = 1lo-yard handi-
cap.
