M. S., and S. M. A. in a triangular meet here last Saturday. Fork Union was led by McLeod, a sensational runner and field man. He personally scored 20 points in a show that account- ed for one-fourth of FUMA's points. He won the 100 and 220 yard dashes, the discus throw, and the broad jump. The team scores for the meet were 80 1/3 for FUMA, 46 1/3 for GMS, and 24 1/3 for SMA.
