Bill Necle Jasper mile relay teams placed third and fourth in another section. Phil O ' Connell climaxed a very successful e ' ening by in- ning the two-mile handicap run over favored Jim Raiferty. Phil ' s time, with a 123-yard handicap, was 9:46.4. Still fresh from their opening victory the team entered the Knights of Columbus meet ready for anything. The final result was an- other triumph. The final team scores showed the Jaspers with 19 points while the second place N. Y. U. squad had 13 and Fordham was third with 6. The feature event of the evening, the Grand Knight 880 yard run, was won by Ed Walsh. The Jasper indoor captain certainly proved his mettle by taking this one from a star-studded field.

A second Green and White squad of Bill Kent, Pat Downs, Dean Noll and Bill McManus came m second in the same event. This relay might have been much more inter- esting but for the fact that two other Jasper squads dropped their batons while leading qualifying heats.
