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 for first place in the pole vault,' win ning nine points. On account of hav- Wounded Jbn Brought to!
