Divides Points Almost
Evenly in Running
And Field Tests
Gains Margin With Win
In ReIov, Lost Event;
Kurz Sets Record

Balance all down the line, except
In the hurdles and broad jump, is
the way Centrars track team, in
terhigh champion last year, shapes
up. The Vikings have winning pow
er both in the running and field
events, as was demonstrated yester-
day when they topped Episcopal
Highs thinclads. 72-55, in a dual
meet at Hoxton Field, Alexandria.
This was the first outdoor meet
for both teams, and 1t was the first
time Coach Jan Jankowski of Gen.
trail has had his entire squad in
competition. The Vikings next go
to Durham this Saturday for the
Duke tnterscholastics. Central's
balance was demonstrated as 1t
gathered 81 points in running events
and IS in the field, while Episcopal
nearly matched 1t with 36 running
points but fell to 10 afield. The
Vikings earned 10 firsts to Episco-
pals 4.
Last Event Decides 1t.
Central had no easy time top
ping the Maroons, though. 1t was
necessary for it to win the mile re-
lay, final event on the program,
worth 10 points, in order to win the
meet. This it did with a little room
to spare. Nick Chacos gave the
Vikings a 20-yard lead In the first
quarter, and Johnny Ward, run
ming the second quarter, increased
this to the 40 yards which held to
the end.
One Hoxton Field record was
broken when Centrals Jim Kurz
tossed the 12-pound shot 81 feet
81 inches. The old mark was so
feet 1l& inches, and Kurz's throw
presages more broken records
around Washington this season. as
his mark was better than the cur
rent interhigh figure of 40 feet 81
inches. Jim was big help to Gen.
tral yesterday, also taking first in
the javelin and second in the dis
Gus for 13 points.
Bartlett Todd Double Winner.
Another 13-point winner yester-
day was Bartlett Todd of Episco-
pal, who captured the low and high
hurdles and took second in the 22O-
yard dash. Bartlett, incidentally, is
a brother of Tom Todd, Episcopal
ace OF several years ago who won
every event he entered for two years
and currently is the ace hurdler
Of the University of Virginia team.
Fred Dunn of Central also did
some good sprinting yesterday, win
ming the 40 in 523 seconds, only
one second of the interhigi1 rec
ord. He also ran anchor on the
winning relay team.
