In the first event of the day, the century, Smith literally walked away with all_contenders. His time, 10 1-5 seconds, equalled the state rec- ord. Not entirely satisfied with this
brilliant performance, he annexed the 220 yard clash a little later in the day, breal-ing the school record in 22 7-10· seconds. Cabell held up big reputation in the high hurdles, taking second and lowering his other school record to 16 3-5 seconds. Captain Constantine's fourth in the nl.ile and Day F.'s third in the 880

During this period the pole vault hucl narrowed down to three contestants, Lavinder, Goldsmith, and Grattan of Wooclberry. It fin- ally ended with Goldy winning the evellt, and Nate tying Grattan.

Bedford by Virginia Episcopal after a close and see-sawing fight.
For the first four iunings things weut along smoothly and swiftly with V. E. S. in the lead. In the
f? u r t h fram e Randolph-Macon awoke, and before the visiting team could stop them, they came across with three runs. In the sixth the Garnet ru1d Wl1ite brought the score even, and in the seventh inning tal- lied twice. The eighth saw the score again tied by R..-l\II. A., and the dead-lock continued t hrough the ninth frrune. In the tenth, though, V. E. S. triumphed by making two checks to one by the Bedford School.
~either team played exceptionally well throughout the game, but the playing of Boyd, Luck and Loffier for Y. E. S. was very commendable. Withrow and Williams undoubtedly starred for the opponents.
