| in which they triumphed was out
standing.
Catholic University broke one OF
the two college records Of the day
as the Cardinal relay quartet Of
John Weschler, John Doyle. Jim
Malaney and Charley OKeefe
clipped more than two seconds of
their own record while winning, for
the second straight year, the Mason
Dixon Conference 1-mile relay.
Cards Win Easily.
AS soon as WeSchler, No. I man,
got his hands on the baton the
Cards were in front and never
headed, O'Keefe winning by ridic-
ulous margin over the anchor man
of Delaware. In third place came
Randolph-Macon, with Washington
College fourth. Gallaudet, also en-
tered, never was a contender in the
race, which C. U. won in the good
but not exceptional time of 3 min
utes, 26.2 seconds.
Georgetown failed to win with It's
| ace sprinter, Football Star Jack
Doolan, and with its varsity mile
relay team, which finished far back
in the final victorious race for In
diana's speedSters. The Hoya fresh-
man, however, won impressively. Fa-
vored because of their triumphs in
the National A. A. A. indoor meet
last winter the frosh handily OUT
stepped a strong field in the mile
relay to win by at least 20 yards.
Duplicating C. us tactics, George
town got a lead earned by No.
man Albert Rogers and gradually
! increased it as Hugh James. Hugh
! Short and Louis Collado carried the
| baton. The time was a brilliant
3:l9, only oFie-tenth of a second of
the carnival record set by Seton
Hall last year.
DOOlan Is OutcIassed.
! Doolan. ace ball carrier Of last
years Orange Bowl team, faced a
fast field of sprinters in the invita-
/ ton 100-yard dash. Some idea of
the class of the field may be cleaned
by the 81 performance made by
William Carter Of Pittsburgh in the
f1rst heat. Doolan, running in the
second heat, finished second to Nor
wood Ewell of Penn State, national
intercollegiate champion. and quail
flied after the third heat was run.
In the final, however, Jack was up
against too much speed. Welby Will
liams of North Texas, second to
Pitts Carter in the 81 heat, won
in 98. EWel was second. Carter
third and Bob Jackson of Princeton
fourth.
Howard University of Washington
was another unsuccessful team, al
though making good showing by
finishing second to Bloomsbu@
Teachers in one of the college class
mile relays. The Howard team of
Ersky, Freedman, Seymour Humid
ley, Russell Scott and Eugene Bacon
chased across the winning quartet,
timed at 3:288.
ID. c. High Schools Missing.
None of the Washington high
schools made an appearance. al
though Tech, Central and Cardozo
were listed on the program. In the
scholastic field the only record was
made in the same event in which
Indiana smashed the mark-the q
mile relay. Northeast High Of Penn
8:119 cutting 81 seconds of the
1885 time of West Philadelphia
sylvania toured the distance in
Catholic.
1t seemed to be a day for new
records. There was little wind. The
track was fast and it was warm
until late in the program. which is
when Indiana'S two-mile relayers
flashed. The Hoosiers, starting with
Paul Kendall and running down
through Wayne Tolliver, Fred Wilt
and Kane, were too much for Seton
Hall, Fordham and the rest of the
field, including N. Y. U. BY the
time Anchor Man MacMitchell Of
the VioletS got his hand on the
baton he was 200 yards behind In
diana's f1ashy cleanup man, Kane,
and after making the first turn Mac.
Mitchell. who makes a habit Of
coming from behind, trotted quietly
! of the track.
MacMitchelI Big Star.
AS on the first day, however, II
was MacMitchell who gave the
crowd its biggest thrill. This came
in the four-mile relay in which
N. Y. U. defeated Indiana as it had
| yesterday in the classic distance
medley, when MacMitchen and Kane
received their batonS on even terms
and the Easteerner outkicked the
Hoosier in the final few yards.
Kane didn't run in the four mills
relay today. Had he performed at
anchor he undoubtedly would have
protected the lead piled up by the
first three Hoosiers. But Kane was
being saved and thus the stage was
set for MacMitcheIl.
IndianaS team, better balanced,
! took big lead and when Anchor
Man Tolliver was handed the hollow
/ cardboard tube he had a 30-yard
| lead over MacMitchell with a mile
| to go. Pacing himself like veteran,
MacMitchell trailed Tolliver around
| the track three times.
Then as he crossed the starting
/ line for the fourth ring around the
rosy, now only II yards behind. he
| turned on the steam. Just before
the homestretcth was reached they
were running Shoulder-t shoulder.
