pion is Armand Furey, Jr., OF
Tufts College who won the title
last week during the title meet at
Rhode Island. VIZ met Armand
coming in from New York last
Sunday following his victorious
N. Y. A. c. championship games
Tufts relay triumph at Madison
Square Garden. The Jumbo relay
teams have now won so consist
antly that Armand, who completes
for both teams, is practically
loaded down with medals. And
he hasn't even began his outdoor
races yet in which he is much
faster. At Mis- Furey was out,
door state schoolboy champion.
While his war service interrupted
Furey's peak, his mary friends
are happy to see the comeback he
has made. AS any G. Twill testify,
it isn't easy to make up those
years.
Stanton Bowen, the best MHS
sepia 500 = yard runner since
Furey, also, unfortunately began
his 1850 season bid late in his
senior year. Even so, Stanton has
done a fine job, and he's almost
consistently been a SO point
getter for the Mustangs Last week
he won against Somerville and
ran the second leg on the win
ming FHS relay team. The popu-
lar Vim Valentine placed second
in tht l00-yard run. We note
that Ned Gourdin's boy won the
60-yard dash for Roosevelt Junior
HIS last week. And if we didn't
see it, the Colonel would be
around boasting about it anyway.
