RUSH DEFEATS WEFERs.
New jersey A. &. Carnival sIgnalized by Sen.
~satioual BprIntInE.


The final stage of the New Jersey A. G.. carni.
val at Madison Square Garden last night was
signalized by some remarkable performances.
The presence of Wefers Of Georgetown and Rush
OF Princeton focused interest on the sprints,
and when these two noted runners broke
the worsted together in the 4O-yard dash
excitement reached fever heat. A few
outsiders thoughb that linn of the West Sides
had won by about a yard. but they were howled
down and the other pair ran of. To the con-
Bternation OF favorite players. Rush had the
pace of Wefers all the way and beat him clev-
erly. Students of past form gasped when they
heard the result, but worse remained In store.
Tho 22O-yard special race dwindled down to a
duel between the rival stars, and Rush drew In.
side position. Hemade full use of his privileges.
and when Wefers tried to close with him on the
outside there WAS some hot humping. Wefers
claimed a foul. but 1t was not allowed. and Rush
won by a good margin. His second victory over
the. hitherto invincible Georgetown man created
a big sensation.
Tho tive.mile run. which wound I'D the pro-
lance races ever decided at tho Garden. Fully
Z, dozen runners stuck it out to the last mile, ar
though the pace was a Scorcher. When the bell
rang the chances look about even between four
or five candidates. but then Grant OF Pennsyi.
yania got on his toes and sprinted the entire
lap. Ho left tho others as II they were anchored.
and won in mastcrly style. Summary:
