GAMES
WITH Mile RELAY
Duke Finishes Second With
80 1-6 Points While Mary
land Is Third
BY w. JOYNES MacFARLAN

CHAPEL HILL, Feb. o. Up -
The University of North Carolina
successfully defended its Southern
conference indoor track champi-
onship by winning the final event,
the mile relay, in the 9th annual
Southern conference indoor games
here tonight.
Duke held a lead from the first
of the IL conference division events
up to the start of the mile relay.
The score then was: Duke SO Is,
North Carolina IS 1-3.
Cardinals mile relay men, fight
ing to give the university its eighth
indoor title in the IL years of the
games, put on the pressure. The
result of that decisive mile relay
was not in doubt, so far as Duke
was concerned, after the first lap,
Mike Wise of Carolina kept his
team close in the running, SO that
Billy Grove could go into the lead
and hold it. Dukes Sargent ran the
first leg for the Blue Devils, and
was far behind the field when the
baton was passed. He apparently
ran himself out too quickly, or be-
came sick, as he staggered off the
banked track once during his leg.
The final conference division
scores we're: North Carolina 40 1-3.
Duke SO 1-6, Maryland Is, William
and Mary 7, v. M. l., 6, Davidson
6, v. P. 1. 4 1-3, Clemson d, Wash
ington and Lee 4, N. c. State 3,
Wake Forest 2, and Richmond
1-16.
Three records were set and one
was equalled.
A crowd of more than 2,50C
watched the track circus run in its
four divisions: Conference, varsity
non-conference, freshman and scho'
lastic. Navy repeated as non-con'
ference champ, North Caroline
won the frosh division and Thomas
Jefferson high of Richmond the
scholastics.
After Duke got away to a head
start, North Carolina first closed
the gap appreciably by a sweep O.
10 points in the 70 : yard high
hurdles. That was the fifth event
Duke led % 1-6 to 7 1-3 before that
Then it was close the rest of the
way, with Carolina trailing unit
