| The Ninth Annual Championship
I M* et of the Georgia Association of
Schools was won on Sanford Field by
report] thf» team representing the Seventh
distiict. The finish of the meet was
one of the most exciting that Sanford
Field has seen in inL r scholastic con
tests In many years. The final event
was necessary in order to determine
the winner of the day.
Before the running of the relay race
the Eighth district was leading with
sixteen points, the Seventh and
Fourth being tied witli fourteen each
The victory in the relay went to the
Seventh district team, giving them
total of nineteen points. The Fourth
district team won second place in the
relay, increasing their total to se>
teen points, tlelng for second place
with the Eighth, which team won third
place In the last event. The relay
woh hard fought in the lir.-t three laps,
but in the final lap the winners forged
ahead to a comfortable lead.
Individual Points.
The individual point winner of the
day’s races was Bobby Reynolds,
from Greensboro. He won first place
In the 100 and 220-yard daslus. His
finish in the 100-yard event was the
clo-'ost possible finish that could be
run without u dead heat. He beat
McMurruy. from Fort Valley, to the
tape by legs than a hair. His time
of ten and three-fifths seconds on the
grass is very fast for inter-scholastic
work. He won the 220-yard dash by
several yards, showing the field an ex
cellent burst in the last fifty yards.
McMillan, of the Third district, won
first in the 410-yard dash and tied
